Business Communication.

All departments would have telephone systems and mobile operated cell phones where they keep in touch within areas of the outlet.  It maybe that the alcohol department needs more staff and may ask a different section if they would supply him the worker.  Human resources would keep in touch with all departments that may take place over the phone more commonly with meeting with the department managers. There would also be notice boards with information to be followed or any other issues that need implementing.  These types of activities are vastly importantly as time is money for a company of that size.  This would limit productivity time, may lead to angry customers that would totally be against there objectives.  

Verbal communication takes place daily may that be with supervisors to employees or a manager to H.R for recruitment purposes.  They’re much strength to verbal communication as it does help to solve problems, which may be occurring, and point out mistakes that maybe taking place.  Employees may be doing something wrong in their work and the supervisor will point it out to them so hazards are not occurring.  So there is very different ways of communicating taken part inside the business but all help to keep the business going to some extent.  

External contacts

Any retailing business would have to affiliate with suppliers, banks, customers and shareholders.  Referring back to the mission statement and aims it is liable to say that keeping close accounts with these different contacts would help on many productive levels.  However, I believe it to be capitalising as higher profits helps businesses keep above rivals but more importantly higher market share.  More importantly communication plays an effective role in helping the business meet its aims and objectives.  Here in this part I will explain how outside influences can create problems but also have positive impact on the company of done right.

Sainsburys outside contacts:

Suppliers/ Banks/ Shareholders

These outside influences are kept under surveillance by Sainsburys for extent full reasons but listed below are the most valid:

• Suppliers are communicated with in numerous ways ranging from telephone/mobile networks or by trended Internet services in email and fax’s.  Suppliers off the core ingredient to the success of the outlet and any other retail sector affiliates.  If suppliers was not considered a strong point by Sainsburys plc this could lead to many complications including:

1.  Lost of customers- they may incur many mistakes in orders and pricing that takes effect on the whole profit margin.  Profit can only be gained if the business is situating with common advancements in trends that leads to better servicing for customers, bigger stores, more varieties in products. This is all done to keep ahead in monopoly advancements and put pressure in other businesses to service more for they’re outside business.  

2. Revenue loss- false details may have been added and received because of poor communication resulting to wrong amounts of prices being billed and being paid out to suppliers.  

• Banks/Shareholders are more likely to be communicated through mailing services, meetings with clients to discuss financial issues, faxes and emailing are also used not forgetting mobile communication.  Both of these sources are important and highly influential as keeping conflict low between clients and business shareholders is very important on further expansions, more borrowing from the bank, financial backing and rising success for the company.  

OVERALL CONCLUSION

Effective communication is carried out to make sure they meet business aims and objectives.  The advancements in new methods of communicating have taken the whole world by storm and have had an impact on mobile operating. Sainsburys being a company of wealth and size are always drawn into new equipment and services that would help them carry out their daily business activity more quickly.  The different methods of interaction helps Sainsburys for the basic reason that its time saving than anything old but more important staying with the time so you can range your outlet for a wider audience.  I would say vital communication has to be drawn up and always improved with the time so competitive play is all in the palm.  By mentioning the different types of communication I have elucidated that it’s an effective operation if delivered properly.  With Sainsburys always on the prowl for more advanced equipment shows the great lengths businesses go to be number 1 in there situated area.  Communication would be on my agenda as how successful will a business be if contacts are not kept and treated reasonably.  So taking into the account the question I would imply that communication is helping Sainsburys meet aims and objectives.  However, even if communication is to high standards there are many other factors involving the business meeting aims and objectives. It could be an economical problem; new government legislation, competition levels and more importantly correct procedure of carrying out all set targets.
