Business organisation and systems.
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND SYSTEMS Arthur has new ideas on how to manage the business and workforce more efficiently and effectively compared to the managing styles of Jack. Jack follows the principle of scientific management. Scientific management states that management should be based on well-recognized principles. Scientific management also suggests that the responsibility of management was to select and help workers to perform their jobs properly. Main characteristics of scientific management include: > Shift all responsibility for the organization of work from the worker to the manager. Managers should do all the thinking relating to the planning and design of work, leaving the workers with the task of implementation. > Train the worker to do the work efficiently. > Use scientific methods to determine the most efficient way of doing work. Design the worker's task accordingly, specifying the precise way in which the work is to be done. > Select the best person to do the job. > Monitor worker performance to ensure that appropriate work procedures are followed and that appropriate results are achieved. The responsibility of workers was simply to accept the methods and perform accordingly. 1 However Arthur wants to move away from scientific management and wants to use a more flexible approach towards management.

How an organisation/business works
Mohammed Jummun 1CH I.C.T Coursework In this coursework, I have been asked to find out how an organisation/business works and whether or not it is using, information communication technology. I will need to find out, if they are having any difficulty using I.C.T, and try to help them. The organisation that I have chosen is a Newsagent, located in Edmonton. The newsagent is familiar to me, as I go there to buy travel cards every week. I notice that they had a computer, but I rarely seen it being operated. I propose to help the newsagent with any problems they had. Newsagents sell newspapers and magazines - and almost all sell sweets and cigarettes as well. They may sell other goods such as food, stationery or toys. * Bundles of newspapers arrive from the wholesaler very early in the morning, which newsagents sort out and arrange on display shelves. * If the shop offers newspaper delivery, newsagents get the papers ready for the rounds and supervise the newspaper delivery team. * The rest of the day is spent serving customers, operating the till, taking money and giving change. * Newsagents also arrange stock and re-fill shelves. * At the end of the day, they parcel up unsold newspapers for the wholesaler to collect in the morning. Newsagents work long hours. Most shops open every day of the year except Christmas Day. Earnings are likely to be between £11,000
The Importance of Business Organisation and Structure.
Organisation is uniform, structured and co-ordinated effort for achievement of economic/financial objectives for profit seeking firms and social for non-profit Organisations. To Satisfy Objectives, organisation channel employee endeavours in unified direction and establishes means of allocating resources/responsibilities and control under arrangements referred as structure. Buchanan and Huczynski (2004) define structure as "A formal system of task and reporting relationships that controls, co-ordinates and motivates employees so that they work together to achieve Organisational goals" Thus structure is synonymous to a rope that employees hold and binds all employees towards unified direction and aids the identification of "Who is Who" and "What is What" of organisation. Mullins (2005) emphasizes that structure affects both productivity and economic efficiency and also morale and job satisfaction. Important notion stemming from Mullins assertion is that good structure will not only have tangible effects i-e financial but in-tangible affects like motivation thus impacting organisation's operational effectiveness as employees carry out operations/tasks of organisation. Bloisi (2007) highlights importance of structure as a mean of getting people work towards common goals thus acting as facilitator in pursuit of organisational goals.

Btec Business AssignmentIntroductionSole-TraderA Sole-Trader is a business organisation
Btec Business Assignment Introduction Sole-Trader A Sole-Trader is a business organisation which is owned and managed by one person. Implied in this is that ownership is under one person and this individual could employ a lot of people to work for him. One key feature of a sole trader is that of limited liability. A limited liability refers to the situation whereby he or she looses both the invested capital and private property when the business winds up. Advantages for a sole trader are that profits would not have to be shared and decision making would be easy because the sole trader would not have to consult anyone in decision making. For a sole trader things would be slightly easy in the sense that there would be less confusion as everything would go by the way the individual wants the business to be. It is also a big responsibility as there would be a need to have a high-level of personal interest and if the individual does not show this, then it could be a big factor as to why the business could go bust. Partnership A partnership is a type of business organisation which is owned and managed by two or more people, usually not any more then 20 people. The key feature of this type of business is that of profit sharing. This brings me onto the Partnership Act 1890 which outlines the main rules of a business in partnership: * Profits and losses to be shared equally *
