Tesco Stakeholders
4 star(s)I think that the customer's comments have the biggest effect on Tesco because they tell Tesco from the customer's point of view exactly how to improve there stores and make shopping easy and quicker. I think that the customers are a very powerful stakeholder because they have the power to create changes in Tesco. The customers will not physically themselves create these changes but they will do it by filling in the response forms that Tesco provide. Comments like "The isles are to crowded" or "There is not enough staff on the floor" have a big impact on Tesco because if Tesco do not respond to these comments Tesco may loose customers meaning less profits for shareholders.

3 star(s)It may develop the parts of the museum that are struggling, or buy maintenance. Employees are all volunteers and probably do not get paid. The type of people that would be suited for this job would have to be local (to know the history) and must be generous and selfless. The employer will probably receive a cut of the profits, and any third parties that are hired to work there. The museum obtains money by donations only as it is a charity and does not require profit.

Aims & Objectives of a business
3 star(s)Without profit, a business is unable to do all the things a business wants to in order to continue being successful, for example, without profit, the business can't keep its shareholders happy, it can't pay higher wages to its employees, it can't invest in better technology to improve its products and so on. A company that does not make profit will find it difficult to reinvest money into research and development; and the business will also find it complicated to invest in new technologies and equipment.

Producing Documents in a Business Environment. In theory, managing electronic records should be no different than managing the paper records.
In theory, managing electronic records should be no different than managing the paper records.

Of course, the staggering volume of electronically stored information in the workplace, from email to web pages to Word documents is widely known. Approaches There are two types of policies: (1) ad hoc and (2) systematic retention. Under an ad hoc system, each employee decides whether to keep or discard documents based on personal preference.

Because of the primary sector is declining because lack of raw materials (e.g. coal and oil that cannot be renewable) Businesses are not interested in sectors that do not make profit therefore farms have been converted to holidays home.

Different Aspects that will affect preparation for Businesses. If a new business does not inform all appropriate government bodies of its existence at an appropriate time then it may suffer because it will not be paying taxes and will even be breaking law
This can aid the business greatly in the future. Contacting past customer and informing them of deals or products that the company offers is a good marketing technique and all offers should be recorded. Since these records need to be accurate and up to date, the law will require redundant copies to be stored but not used. This can be due to taxing because the government needs to see if you are not being fraudulent, if their records match and also if you are generally operating legally.

Organisational Structure - Business
Also, if a business has a lot of layers of management, it can take a long time for the instructions to be made and the whole business to be aware of them. Also, the longer it takes for the message or instructions to travel down from the executives to the workers, the greater the chance is that there will be some confusion along the way which can have a fatal effect on the business; messages that travel through layers of management are often stopped along the way and perhaps the business might miss out on the opportunity.

Importance of terms and conditions of employment
Honesty is the best policy at work mainly, all employees should be honest and be trustworthy all the way. If they are not honest then it's harder for the employees to find a job that will not need employee to lie and not to trust them. Honesty doesn't mean to lie it also means not to steal. If the employees are caught stealing they will get a criminal record and be sack from the job. It will be really difficult for them to get a job anywhere else. The employer should abide the term for employee to have a safe working environment.
