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,
A proposal to modify "Exercisco Fitness Club" in Pokfulam, the location has been proposed to Baguio Villas.
Introduction Name: Exercisco Fitness Club Description: A proposal to modify "Exercisco Fitness Club" in Pokfulam, the location has been proposed to Baguio Villas. This location has been chosen because the area is very clean and there is a large population and this would be an advantage because there is more market share, and there would be more potential customers. The location is also good because there is a major project developing (cyber-port). This would be an advantage for the business because it would give it a good reputation. Plus this is another advantage because there is less competition and Baguio Villas is a very scarce place. The new technology applied to the Fitness center would in theory increase the customers attending the club. The club would easily keep a record of the customers joining and leaving the club. Plus the new system would be able to pinpoint specific addresses for business purposes. E.g. if a customer has not paid the bill for a month. Also the club would let members interact in fitness courses if they prefer and they would be able to purchase different materials connecting to the course. Address: 59th Mount Hermon Rd,5th floor Krono Plaza, opposite Glon Canyon Rd Telephone: 25849843, Fax: 28394785, Manager Mobile: 91234534 How the business could use the following: Databases: The business will use this to record all the members' data and

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES All businesses have aims and objectives. Basic aims may be to survive. Common aims are to survive, to grow, to provide excellent service, to be the best in their field and basic aspects such as making a profit. All businesses have a purpose this may be more than one but this is expressed in a mission statement this may be "to ensure we provide quality as well as value" this tells us what they are aiming to do. The objectives set need to be measured to see how well the company is doing in making the objectives a reality. Coca cola uses strategic aims and objectives such as SMART to monitor and plan their aims and objectives theyF believe that this is the best way of meeting aims and objectives that they have set for their company These objectives should be evaluated by using SMART Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time related SPECIFIC Specific is an objective that is exact it is not an approximation, for example to make more profit this year would not be specific whereas make a 5% increase in profits is specific. Measurable You know when you have met your aims or objectives, to be able to measure it is necessary to be specific for example we can say after 6 months there is a rise of 2.5% so in a year it is possible to have a 5% increase in profits. ACHIEVABLE Achievable just means that it is possible to complete the aims in the time

Film Studies The Studio System
Faculty of English Llanishen High School Film Studies The Studio System Key point about the studio system could be: Despite being one of the biggest industries in the United States, indeed the World, the internal workings of the 'dream factory' that is Hollywood is little understood outside the business. The Hollywood Studio System: A History is the first book to describe and analyse the complete development, classic operation, and reinvention of the global corporate entities which produce and distribute most of the films we watch. Starting in 1920, Adolph Zukor, head of Paramount Pictures, over the decade of the 1920s helped to fashion Hollywood into a vertically integrated system, a set of economic innovations which was firmly in place by 1930. For the next three decades, the movie industry in the United States and the rest of the world operated by according to these principles. Cultural, social and economic changes ensured the demise of this system after the Second World War. A new way to run Hollywood was required. Beginning in 1962, Lew Wasserman of Universal Studios emerged as the key innovator in creating a second studio system. He realized that creating a global media conglomerate was more important than simply being vertically integrated. Gomery's history tells the story of a 'tale of two systems 'using primary materials from a score of archives across
Managerial and Supervisory Roles
Unit 11: Managerial and Supervisory Roles In this assignment, I will be exploring the roles and features of 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
I have decided to do my portfolio on Beaufort Park School, for several reasons. Firstly, my brother and sister both go to the school, which means that most of the staff are familiar with me

Catalyse Investigation
Catalyse is an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Hydrogen Peroxide Water + Oxygen 2H2O2 2H2O +O2 The factors that affect enzyme activity are: · Enzyme concentration (Gareth Williams, Biology For You page 31) · Substrate concentration (Mary + Geoff Jones, Biology page ) · Temperature (Gareth Williams, Biology For You page 31) · pH (Gareth Williams, Biology For You page 31) Background Information Enzymes such as catalyse are protein molecules, which are found in living cells. They are used to speed up specific reactions in the cells. They are all very specific as each enzyme just performs one particular reaction. Catalyse is an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. It is used for removing Hydrogen Peroxide from the cells. Catalyse speeds up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen. It is able to speed up the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide because of the shape of the Hydrogen Peroxide molecule. This type of reaction where a molecule is broken down into smaller pieces is called an anabolic reaction. In my investigation I will study the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of catalyse activity. Prediction I predict that if I increase the enzyme concentration this will increase the rate of catalyse activity because there will be more active sites for reactions, resulting in more chemical

Could I Have Lived My Life Differently? : The Diary of Bigger Thomas Osarieme Erhunmwunsee Computational Literature 2/2 Dr. Hoffman 30 May 2003 Could I Have Lived My Life Different? : The Diary of Bigger Thomas Winter of 1930: Fear It was a harsh winter in the "Black Belt" of Chicago. Me, a twenty-year-old, black man who lives in the ghetto my momma, Vera and Buddy has to wake up to a huge rat trying to snip at us. So I take my momma's heavy iron skillet, and kill the rat right after if tries to bite me and rips my pants. Vera started to cry after I shoved the dead rat in her face, swinging the animal's body by its tail. All momma could do after Vera passed out was nag, nag, nag and tell me to throw it outside. When Bigger re-enters, Ma continues her tirade, reminding him that he has a job interview that evening and if he has any "manhood" in him, he will take heed of the welfare relief agency's threats to discontinue the family's aid and living arrangements. After she is revived, Vera is worried that she will be late for her sewing class at the YWCA, but her thoughts turn to her mother's depression and she seeks to console her. Ma is worried that her son appears unconcerned about her welfare and at breakfast, she "prophecies" that Bigger will go to "the gallows" unless he discontinues associating with his gang. Bigger quickly eats his breakfast and unsuccessfully
