...Writing your first business plan • Writing your first business plan The best managed businesses see planning as a continuous activity in which they set both long-term and short-term objectives. Having a plan should not be considered a straightjacket, but as a way of ensuring that everyday activities happen in a structured way. Well managed businesses will see a plan as a framework providing the ability to be flexible and responsive when opportunities arise, without being blown totally off course. Knowing that the bulk of your activities are performing according to plan will give you the freedom to explore those opportunities. Regular monitoring of how a business is performing is also important to determine if goals and objectives are being met. Surveys of small and growing businesses suggest that those who plan are more likely to make a higher profit. Ideally, you should write down the results of your planning process - though you may find that your plan is best summarised as a list of key objectives together with a budget. There may be occasions, however, when you have to explain the plan to a third party in order to demonstrate a proposed course of action for the business. This is particularly so if you are about to start in business and are seeking financial support. When a business is on top of its planning, it becomes a very straightforward process to summarise the different elements into a written plan. In the same way that a balance sheet gives a snapshot of the...

...2015 U.K. Consumer Mobile Payment Study “Do you think someday we can open a bank account or ask for a loan without physically having to come to the bank?” — Bill Gates TSYS® is excited to publish its first research report exploring mobile payments (m-payments) in the U.K. The report includes information regarding U.K. consumer payment preferences and other insights. The aim of this report is to provide valuable information to help our clients and other stakeholders in navigating the current market trends for m-payments and related topics like mobile banking, communication and retailer apps. In line with our belief in keeping payments people-centred, this primary research is based on the end-user of the technologies explored. The goal of this research is two-fold: 1) to investigate consumers’ current behaviour; and 2) to understand how their attitudes and concerns could help predict future behaviour. With the increase of choices among consumers, mobile payments is approaching a critical mass, if not maturity. In 2013, worldwide mobile payments reached $154 billion, and it has been predicted that this figure will reach $721 billion by 20171. In the U.K., mobile payments are expected to reach £53.6 billion in the next ten years, and 75 percent of the U.K. population is expected to have a smartphone by 20192. According to The Financial Times3, U.K. consumers are increasingly using mobile phones and tablets to make purchases — with mobile spending reaching £9.7 billion...

...1.Know the structure of education from early years to post compulsory education. 1a) Summarise entitlement and provision for early years. Early year’s education is for children aged 3-5 years of age. It is used in nurseries and reception classes. Children aged 3 and 4 in England get 15 hours a week free education that the government funds to local authorities to make sure every child receives this before reaching school age. Early years provision is supporting young children. Learning through play is the key element and is used more in early years than a formal education. This is because play shows to be more helpful in a child’s early development. 1b) Explain the characteristics of the different types of school in relation to educational stages and governance. There are 4 types of mainstream state school community, foundation and trust, voluntary and specialist. These 4 types follow the national curriculum. Other types include Independent/Free schools and academies; these don’t have to follow the curriculum and are governed in different ways. Community schools Run and owned by local authorities and not by their governing body. The local authority will usually determine the admissions policy and support the school in looking at ways to develop links within the local community. They also provide support services to the school. Some community schools, local groups use school facilities to hold classes of their own. Foundation and trust schools Foundation schools are run...

...In this assignment I will be describing theories of learning, I will be writing briefly about 6 influences and refer to both positive and negative, I will also be writing about skills for learning, support for learning and learning opportunities. Theories of learning - Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels: a four stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles. The four stage cycle are: - Concrete Experience (coming across a new experience of a situation, or interpretation of existing experience); - Reflective Observation (reviewing a new experience and reflecting on the experience); - Abstract Conceptualisation (concluding reflection which gives rise to a new idea, or a modification of an existing abstract concept); - Active Experimentation (planning and then trying out what you have learned to see what result you get). The four stages are: 1. Experience 2. Reflection 3. Conceptualise 4. Test. Honey and Mumford’s learning style theory has the purpose of persuading people to try their ‘test’ in order to find out their own personal way of learning which could be: * Activist like to be involved, like new ideas, lose interest quickly, like to dominate and have ‘jump first/think later’ mentality; * Reflectors like to observe from the edge of the group, consider things from a range of different perspectives, they let others contribute before they do, collect information before drawing a conclusion; * Theorists like to bring together different...
