...could be a firm that you work for, a shop that you visit regularly or even a family business. Your interview should find out the following: • The types of information they use with examples • The sources from which they get information • The purposes to which they put the information Different Types of information There is a different and wide variety of ways information can be used and sourced, and with an effective business person, they will research the information from a range of different sources before making that decision on which one their business should use. The types of information are: Verbal, written, onscreen, multi-media, and web based. Verbal information This type of information is based on a face-to face verbal communication and is considered the best way to communicate both internal and external. This means there is less scope for misunderstanding and it allows both verbal and non-verbal messages to go through. This is with the constraints of time and budgets in business, and it is not always possible or practical to meet the person, this is such as using telephone conversations, face time, that are also useful ways to communicate verbally, but it is still as important always to use a combination of methods. These ranges of verbal communications are huge as many businesses use this method for information, as speech enables complex ideas to be expressed and discussed. This means that although the absence of speech wouldn’t prevent us from communicating...

...P1/M1 - Explain and analyse different types of business information, their source and purposes. Task 1 Verbal This is a use of sounds and words to express yourself, which includes the use of gestures or mannerisms. Advantages & disadvantages An advantage of why verbal communication would be beneficial during an meeting with Apple would be so that all of the information given out is broken down a lot easier making it easier to understand what is being said to the individual therefore they it is easily picked up and understood. Not only that if they were to use hand gestures they would keep the audience eager therefore people would keep focused throughout the whole of the meeting making it easier to sink in to everyone. Verbal communication makes it easier to express feelings to the people you are speaking to, for example if you are upset with a certain subject you are unable to express feelings over text, but with facial expressions and actually showing the emotions during a meeting, the individuals will actually be able to have a full understanding of what is being said. Another advantage of verbal communication is that people are able to get a quick response and feedback on what they have to say about what has been discussed during the meeting therefore they may note that down and take it into account as that is most likely what a meeting is all about, taking on board people’s emotions and feedback towards the certain topic. Some of the many disadvantages of verbal...

...transferring information from one place to another; sharing information between individuals by using speech. Individuals working within a business need to effectively use verbal communication that employs readily understood spoken words, as well as ensuring that the enunciation, stress and tone of voice with which the words are expressed is appropriate. It’s is also like talking to someone; you are saying something to them and having a conversation. This includes talking face to face, in a meeting, in an interview, anyone like a friend, telephone, radio or television and other media. Advantages: 1. It is the fastest way of communicating. It doesn’t take time and money. 2. It is also a direct message because they go straight to the point. Like if you ask a question it is answered straight away. Therefore there is no time wasted. 3. You can tell by their face expression if they are sad or happy about what they are talking about, and also by their tone of voice. 4. You also can comfort them face-to-face. Disadvantages: 1. When you talk to someone, you can’t use that as evidence, there could be no proof you said something to them. 2. If you are speaking to someone who doesn’t speak English, it’s going to take time to translate and money to get a translator. 3. Also when talking to someone, the conversation can get boring and the person might not be listening. 4. This information can be easily forgotten. 5. If the person you’re talking to speaks a different language,...

...value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to show learners that the collection and management of business information, and the successful communication of that information throughout a business, is critical for the future prosperity of the organisation. Unit introduction A business needs accurate and relevant information from internal and external sources in order to operate profitably. Proper collection of data creates an environment where informed decisions can be taken for the benefit of the business. In order to manage information effectively, there must be good communication systems within the organisation. Staff must possess good verbal and written skills in order to communicate and share information. Business information can be used to obtain competitive advantage and promote efficiency. Organisations generate information internally, recording details of products manufactured, purchased and sold, and their associated costs. Businesses use information to manage not only what is currently happening in the organisation but also to plan for the future and ensure their survival. Information is collected, stored, manipulated, analysed and reported to those who need to use it. People need to become skilled manipulators and users of information to ensure organisations become more efficient and succeed in achieving their stated purposes. Since the development of the personal computer and more recently the internet...
