V&D is a big warehouse with a lot of stuff, from clothing to food&drinks. It is known in Holland because it is very cheap. Or they are doing something wrong. V&D has a lot of investment went in Holland. Most of the emporiums are in the big city’s. Task 6 First of all, V&D has shares. With shares they get stakeholders and shareholders. You can get money out of that. To start, you need a budget. The starting budget of V&D came from a few investors. V&D borrowed money from people that believed V&D can do good. When de company became bigger, they were able to pay their investors back and pay more and more employees. The company became bigger and bigger, now it is one of the biggest department stores in Holland. Now almost all the income comes from customers. Of course there is money from shareholders an stakeholders, the shares issue is the money V&D makes with it. V&D buys products and sells it with profit to customers, because they are so big, it is less likely that something is going wrong. But something did go wrong in June 2013 something big went wrong, over 15 Million euros lost. Because of that, they had to fire over 200 people and close one store. Probably you think ‘what is one store’ that store had 190 employees, 190 people lost their job and that’s...

...P4: Explain how national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice. In this task ill be explaining how national initiatives in regards to the anti-discriminatory practice. Human Rights Act 1998, 2000 The human rights act includes all standard human rights such as, dignity, freedom, respect and the right to a good quality of life. The purpose of the human rights act is to give individuals the right to take any legal action if any of their human rights are violated such as being treated differently on the base of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or vulnerability; therefore they have the power to take action against any persons or organization. The human rights act promotes anti-discriminatory practice because it ensures that we have rights and that these rights are satisfied, it also means that if these rights aren’t met, it also ensures that individuals are given the opportunity to take legal action. For instance in a care home, the human rights act makes sure that service users are able to take action against their service providers if they feel that their rights aren’t being met, or even family members can do so on their behalf if they feel that their rights are being violated or restricted in any shape, way or form. Race Relations Act 2000 This act makes it illegal to treat a person differently because they’re of a less favorable race.

...P4 Sources of Finance INTERNAL An internal source of finance means to get money from within the business. Owners Savings The owners’ savings is the potential owners’ own money which is normally used when starting up a business. This can be a good source of finance especially for sole traders because since the owner has been saving up for most of their life, they would have enough money to invest in the business and they don’t have to worry about paying any employees or shareholders. However, there can be a disadvantage for sole traders when using this source of finance because they must be careful when investing money as they must know their limits in case they don’t have enough money to support themselves. PLC’s (Public Limited Company) would also use this source of finance through their shareholders who each invest money into the business. There can be an advantage for shareholders who use this source of finance when investing money into the business because if the business gains a profit, the shareholders will gain a dividend which means they will each get a share of the profits they make. However, there can also be a disadvantage because if the business makes a loss, the shareholders will lose the money they invested. Capital from profits Capital from profits refers to the money left over after most of the profits that have been earned have been shared with each of the shareholders. There are advantages of using this source of finance because the capital that is left...

...How is good customer service achieved? Good customer service is achieved by the way you approach customer, the way you ask question and Listen because usually what often happens is that a customer comes in the store and will be simply looking around for something they need or they could not be looking for anything in particular however it is always civil to approach the customer and ask them if they need any assistance. However the slip-up that many staff members tend to make is not giving customers the space or the time before they make this tactic. Select one organisation such as leisure or hotel etc… and then identify how each organisation can provide consistent customer service? In a hotel customers expect good quality service, examples of good customer services are: * Smiling * Being friendly towards customers * Being respect towards customers * Listing t customers * Being honest * Going extra distance Because the moment a customer goes into a hotel they will approach a staff member, this staff member has to be very welcoming, approachable, easy to talk and polite. The staff member will then have to ask the customer a few questions in a friendly tone of voice without sounding too demanding. For example, the type of room the customer would like to stay in and etc. when doing this the staff member will have to show respect to customers at all times and the staff member will have to provide the customer consistent customer service, by doing all of...

...ESS Products LLP The Business. ESS are a ventilation and electrical contracting business. Based in Liphook the business operates in London and throughout the South East. The main focus of the business is installing ventilation equipment into domestic properties. 70% of business turnover comes from working for Housing Associations in the London area. The company employs 16 people with the 2013/2014 turnover forecast at £750,000 which is 20% increase over the previous financial year. Internal sources of finance. Retained Profit: This is the cheapest form of finance and is a short-term source. This profit retained in the business at the end of the previous year’s trading can be used to grow the company organically – e.g. by spending on new equipment, staff and resources to grow their operations. This may mean potentially slower growth than taking out a loan to grow rapidly but more stable finances. It can also lead to higher long term profit as there is no debt to pay interest on for the business. As the business had a 20% rise in turnover this year it is likely to have increased its retained profit, which should enable them to fund further growth in the future. A way of boosting the retained profit is by reducing the owner’s salaries to retain profit in the business to fund growth. This may cause problems in the short term as the owners are not drawing enough salary, but in the medium term it can be highly beneficial for the company as a cheap way of...
