...Unit 1 The business environment BTEC National Business Stretch and support E1 Views of different stakeholders M1 requires learners to explain the points of view of different stakeholders seeking to influence the aims and objectives of two contrasting organisations. In order to achieve M1 it is important that learners have a thorough understanding of the following points: • What are the aims and objectives of each organisation? • Who are the stakeholders for each organisation? • What does each stakeholder seek to achieve? • How will each stakeholder be able to achieve their own goals? By answering each of these questions learners will be able to focus on how and why stakeholders will try to influence the aims and objectives of each organisation. Provide an empty version of the table below for learners to complete by noting two objectives for each stakeholder in their chosen business. How many of them are the same and how many differ? For example, an objective for an employee in one business might be good working conditions, whilst in the other it might be higher wages. How will these stakeholder objectives influence the organisation’s objectives?

...BTEC Level 3 in Business – Unit 1 – The Business Environment Context Think of a business as a ship on the high seas. The captain and crew of the ship are steering the ship on its journey but the ship is also affected by other influences such as the weather, tides and currents. The captain and crew have no control over these but they must be able to respond effectively to the intervention of events such as a storm in order for the ship to successfully complete its voyage. Just like a ship has to respond to the influences of its environment (the ocean) a business must also react to a number of factors that will be beyond its control. These can come from hugely varied sources, from the weather to a war on the other side of the world. The economy and government attempts to control it are more obvious influences on business activities but how each business will be affected are vastly different. During this unit you will investigate the differences in businesses; how they are run organised and influenced. Why certain businesses are organised in different ways and which individuals and organisations are interested in the progress of different businesses. By the end of this unit you should understand: • The range of different businesses and their ownership. • How businesses are organised to achieve their purposes. • The impact of the economic environment on business. • How political, legal and social factors impact on a business.

...Level 3 Unit 1-D1 Evaluate the influence different stakeholders exert in one organisation Every organisation has stakeholders, these are groups or individuals that affect or are affected by the business. The number of stakeholders of a business varies as does their importance and influence. The type of organisation and the product or service it supplies also determines its stakeholders. An organisation such as Coca-Cola has far more stakeholders than a family business; it is therefore much more influenced and affected by the actions, aims and objective of its stakeholders. In this report I will evaluate the influence of some stakeholders; Employees and Suppliers of Coca-Cola. Employees Employees are very influential stakeholders of Coca-Cola and they are one of the most important for the running of the organisation. Coca-Cola has around 146,200 worldwide employees who have a high impact on the organisation. Satisfaction and performance of employees fully depends on the way human resources are managed in the company. Employee’s main interests are salaries, wages and job satisfaction; all these influence the company’s staff turnover, industrial action and the quality of the product and/or service. Coca-Cola must consider a lot of factors when employing new staff and managing the existing staff. Employees can affect and influence in various way and due to various reasons, some of which are: skills and qualifications, personal views and opinions, employee performance, training...
