Unit 13 Applied Business
. Introduction "Occurrence happening at a determinable time and place, with or without the participation of human agents. It may be a part of a chain of occurrences as an effect of a preceding occurrence and as the cause of a succeeding occurrence." - www.businessdictionary.com The description of an event is an occurrence that can happen just once, or more frequently. The event can be subjected to only invite guests, or can be open to the public to come freely. Events have a start and finishing time, and businesses can hold them to attract customers, or keep shareholders and their staff happy. The choice of an event is a crucial decision as making the wrong choice could be detrimental in trying to earn money. In addition, if the choice is poor it can create a bad impression on a business to its shareholders, employees and customers. The event we will be running is: 'The Meridian Christmas Fair'. The day will include a number of businesses offering their products to the public on a stall of a set size (6ft-2.5ft), charging £15 a stall and £25 for two. Anybody from the public is allowed entry to the event, at any time during the day (Sunday 12th December 2010). The event is to have a fun day picking out last minute Christmas presents and enjoy the seasonal atmosphere. We plan to create this seasonal atmosphere by having traditional characteristics like Santa's Grotto,
Managerial and Supervisory Roles

I will produce a report showing how my chosen individual approaches their managerial/supervisory role. In this report I will include in-depth evidence and knowledge of my understanding of their role. In summary, I will cover the following in this assignment: * Theoretical aspects relating to supervisory and managerial roles * My chosen manager/supervisor's role and how the theory can be applied to this * My research and subsequent analysis * Conclusion as I evaluate which factors can influence the environment in which a manager/supervisor performs their role in the workplace The business context within which the report will take place In order to understand the role of a manger/supervisor, it is significant to take into consideration the common tasks and functions that are untaken by people with this roles. Managers/supervisors vary as they are all likely to bring their own personal experience and personality to their role, however the following aspects are covered by all managers/supervisors common, these are known as common functions: The common functions I have explained can all be affected by the following aspects within an organisation: Culture of the organisation The culture of an organisation tends to vary; this creates

Task 1 To: Gill Slater From: Subject: Date: 8th May 2008 Introduction: I am writing this report to describe how each organisation plans and conducts its recruitment furthermore I will be explaining why there might be a reason for a vacancy (employee leaving, growth, different, work, maternity cover, sickness) moreover I will be looking at the organisation if they have any current vacancies and why might they have arisen. Last but not least I will be explaining the different sources of recruitment that the two organisations use. The need to recruit All business organisations have a need to recruit staff in order to run the business effectively and efficiently as there may be certain work or task need to be done by someone who has the right skills to tackle them. The need to recruit is mainly to manage the organisation effectively, run the business smoothly, and manage the resources effectively and to have a good work level. Furthermore to do a particular job, to get the skills and experience for the business, not got enough employees, previous vacancies, growth in the business, employee leaving, extra work, different work, maternity cover, paternity cover, sickness, high staff turnover/ labour turnover. As without the right people the business cannot make the correct decisions and for this reason it is important to recruit. Features of key recruitment documents,
Roles and Responsibilities of Staff Members at McDonalds.
Part A: Investigating a local business. Task 1 - Choosing a business. The business chosen to investigate is McDonalds, McDonalds is the worlds largest fast food chain with over 58 million customers using the restaurants daily. It has 1231 restaurants in the UK alone which is a total of roughly 48,000 employees in the UK and 1.5 million employees worldwide. McDonalds can be found in 119 countries around the world with more than 31,000 restaurants worldwide. Although it is criticised for being very unhealthy it has tried to change that by adding fruit and vegetables onto the kids menu to encourage children to eat 5 fruit and vegetables a day. McDonalds offers a quick and easy service, there are varieties of ways to order either order at counter and/or then get it delivered to your car, drive through, eat in or take away. At McDonald's restaurants there are lots of facilities along side the food including: toilets, phones and information leaflets. McDonalds has so many customers going to their restaurants everyday because the food is of a cheap price and so is easy for anyone of any income to buy, it is also easy to eat as it does not need any cutlery or plates. It is fast to buy and then to eat as it is intended to be. Another thing is that McDonalds is such a large business that it can afford to have lots of franchises, this means that there is always a McDonalds around
Motivation within a workplace - examples from Asda.
Motivation ________________ Introduction: Within this report I will go into greater detail of what motivation is and the various methods used to maintain motivation. I have decided to focus my essay on the techniques undergone by the highly successful superstore ASDA. Along with evaluating the effectiveness and proficiency I shall also recommend an alternative strategy which could be put into practise. Furthermore I will focus on any areas of conflict and ways to resolve them. To further enhance my understanding, I will briefly outline motivational theorists and how ASDA can include them within their co-operation. It is crucial that all staff is interested and driven inside the job as this will allow them to take full advantage and have an enjoying time whilst at their workplace. Below I will expand on all of these points to intensify my knowledge on how to motivate others and also how a particular business currently motivates employee. Companies can motivate employees to do a better job than they otherwise would. Incentives that can be offered to staff include increased pay or improved working conditions. Motivational theories suggest ways to encourage employees to work harder. [1] Motivation is about the ways a business can encourage staff to give their best. Motivated staff care about the success of the business and work better. After deciding which organisation to
Investigating Customer Service at a school and at Asda.
Unit 5 - Investigating Customer Service Introduction: Customer service is when the employer behaves as though the customer is the most important element of the business. It is catering for what the customers want, need and expect. In this section of my coursework, I am going to be looking at two contrasting organisations. I will be finding out what the organisations' internal and external customers need and expect. The first of my two organisations is Danum School Technology College, the school that I attend. I will now be finding out who the customers are of Danum School. Section 1 Organisation 1 - Danum School Technology College: Internal customers - Teacher- Needs and expectations The first internal customer of Danum will be the teacher. The teacher is a very important customer, as without them, classes wouldn't be able to run. To their job in the school to their best standard, teachers will need their own teaching space: a classroom. Not all teachers will be offered a classroom, but they will expect to have their own space to do marking etc. The teacher will expect their own classroom, as they need somewhere to keep all of their equipment for the lesson. It will also allow them to plan their lessons effectively and be prepared. Therefore, the pupils will receive a better education. Also, as teachers need to bring a lot of equipment to school in order to
Human Resources
Introduction: This assignment requires me to research on a company of my choice. After doing so, I need to look at a particular department in that company, which is the Human Resources department. Within Human Resources Department I will be describing the staff skill profile. I have chosen to research on Barclays Bank. History of Barclays: Barclays is a UK-based financial services group, with a large international presence in Europe, USA, Africa and Asia. It is engaged primarily in banking, investment banking and investment management. Barclays is one of the largest financial services companies in the world. It has been operating for more than 300 years with 25 million customers and 118,000 employees in over 60 countries. I have chosen Barclays Bank because it has been trading for more than 300 years in the heart of London, the financial district. The Barclays name did not come associated with the business until 1736 when James Barclays joined the partnership. Private banking businesses like this one were commonplace in the 18th and 19th Centuries. According to my research Barclays partnership was one of 20 banks that joined together to form a new venture in 1896. At the beginning of the 19th century, Barclays had 180 branches, mainly in the East and South East. To date it has expanded its branch network rapidly by taking over other banks and "amalgamating" in 1918
