Discuss the implications for UK service sector firms that have off shed IT or administrative functions to low cost economies, such as India.
This is an ideological tool in exploiting different economies efficiently. It helps businesses to keep their costs very low but rather increase their profit margins. This may not always be the case though, since economic factors are very much unpredictable. Such firms are likely to have a huge loss should there be any increase in the value of the Indian currency. This could create potential instability in the business thus causing them to relocate into the UK service sector. Also, firms relocating in low cost economies are able to benefit from cheap labour costs.

With reference to Google and/or other business you have studied to what extent does the culture of the business determine its ability to maintain competitiveness?
For example, Body Shop had a distant ethical culture which supported the business brand image and relationship with customers. This gave the business a USP and helped them maintain its competitiveness. However, when Body Shop was taken over by L'Oreal in 2006 (a company that is known for using animal testing on their products), Body Shop like-for-like sale rose by 9.7% and now have an additional 143 stores.

Motivation in workplace. Shine Communications, a communications agency based in London and employing 56 staff, was voted by employees, the number one company, in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For
Although some factors were found to fall into both categories, broadly speaking, Herzberg identified, Achievement, Recognition. The Nature of Work, and Responsibility as motivators, and How the Business was Run, Supervision, Work Conditions, and Pay as hygiene factors. One striking finding in the study was that factors associated with encouraging motivation, have little connection with money, but are associated with personal development and achievement. This is not to say that increasing pay doesn't remove job dissatisfaction - it does, but only in the short term. Shine Communications, a communications agency based in London and employing 56 staff, was voted by employees, the number one company, in the Sunday Times 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, 2012.

Financial methods of motivating and empowering employees
This gives the high achievers to benefit from their hard work. The disadvantages of performance related pay to the business are that the reward system can be detrimental to the business because employees may only be focusing on the financial reward rather than development needs. Because of this, co-operation and teamwork can be hindered. There is the danger that employees may expect a pay-out year on year regardless of rising requirements on performance related pay. Finally, this method is only short-term and wouldn't motivate workers long term; it does not encourage employee loyalty.
