...Unit 1: The business environment Help sheet 1.1.1 P1 Describe the type of business, purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses To achieve P1, you must complete Task sheet 1.1.1, a case study, as well as Worksheets 1.1.1 to 1.1.4. You must also write a detailed presentation about two organisations. • You must ensure that the two organisations chosen are very different. For example, a large plc, such as Tesco, and a charity, such as Save the Children. This will make it easier to compare the environments. • It is a good idea to choose organisations that you are interested in, but that also have a large amount of information available. Therefore, spend some time researching a few organisations that might be of interest to see which one will make this task the easiest. • The same organisations will be used for tasks other than P1 so look ahead in the assignment to make sure the information you will need is available. • Once you have chosen your organisations, you need to research them in order to be able to identify the type of businesses they are. You must identify which scale they operate at and what sector they operate in. Make sure you give evidence and reasoning to back up your decisions. • The purpose and ownership of a business can often be seen on its website. However, you may find a phone interview very useful for collecting all the information you need. This can then be used as evidence. Remember to reference your work when necessary. ...

...based on the quality of information that they receive. Details of the post will usually be the first communication they have with the organisation. It is important that the organisation makes a good first impression on potential applicants to ensure that they attract sufficient applicants of the right calibre. Learners will develop their knowledge of the types of documentation used in an interview process. A structured and planned selection procedure is crucial to the success of the selection process.

It is important that interviewers are well organised and prepared. They will need to be familiar with the details supplied by the short listed applicants, and use effective communication and listening skills during the interview. In this unit, learners will gain experience of the interview process through taking part in an interview. Organisations with effective recruitment and selection processes and practices in place are more likely to make successful staffing appointments. In competitive...
