...Unit 19- P1 Introduction to Unit 19- P1 In this assignment, I am going to be describing the different types of teams in an organisation and the benefits of using a team for an organisation. What are the different types of team in an business environment? There are 2 different types of team that organisations use: A formal team- an ordered team that is built to meet a specific purpose. All members in the team will have a distinct role while also the group having an appointed team leader who may set the distinct roles for the team. An informal team- a team built without purpose which allows every member of a team to be regarded equally important. What are the benefits of using a team for an organisation? There are many benefits for an organisation when they use teams, for example: Reduction of alienation- Creates a sense of involvement for a worker in the organisation through being involved in decision-making and having human contact with other employees which workers react positively too. Fosters innovation- Working as a team encourages innovation because it allows a variety of information, initiative and imagination from several people to come together and create new innovative ideas. Sharing expertise- A team allows a group of people to come together who have a variety of different skills and knowledge. Implementing change- Working in a team allows an organisation to enforce a new plan or system because of the overall technical capabilities that a whole team...

...Unit 19 Developing Teams in Business Assignment 1:The Organisations training manual project P1:Describe different types of teams and the benefits of teams for an organization The objective of the team is to have different roles an working towards an ultimate goal of doing a group presentation and the aim is for all group members to think of brilliant unique ideas and share it with each other and discussing ideas with each other to improve work. The meaning of team can also be as a an informal team is less structured. It is usually a group of individuals not set up by an organisation ,that sees the benefit of working together. Informal teams are less structured and rule bound than formal teams.An example of an informal team would be a group of new employees who meet once a week to share experiences and offer support in improving work practice.The description of the theory of team is Dr Meredith Belbin identified eight major roles that people adopt when working as part of a team:Plant,Resources investigator,Co-ordinator,Shaper,Monitor Evaluator,Teamworker,Implementer,Completer Belbin’s theory was:That teams are made up of different types of behaviour and that a successful, productive team will require a mixture of these behaviour types. This allows a team to have balance and where each type of behaviour has strengths they also have areas of weakness, but a mix of behaviours means a team member’s weakness will be someone else’s strength. The benefits of teams to the organisation...

...In this assignment I will be explaining the concept of an unequal society and how social inequalities can have effects on vulnerable groups in society such as; ethnic minorities using sociological terms. An unequal society is formed when there is a prevalent boundary in society which stops a group of individuals from obtaining an equal status despite their contributions to that society. Society is very unequal, this is shown in the way certain groups are treated and even looked down on. An inequality is when two elements are not equal; one may be more favoured than the other which means they get more advantages than the other. There are seven main causes of inequality, these are; age, gender, ethnicity, disabilities, sexuality, social class and culture. These groups are all vulnerable to inequalities and are often subject to prejudice. There are obvious boundaries throughout society which prevent groups of individuals from becoming equal or having an equal status. An example of this which has been in the news a lot is women who are in the army not being allowed to fight on the front line, this is because they are still seen to be ‘weaker’ than men and will make our front lines less effective. This is unequal as women are seen to have less physical and mental strength to do a job which is thought to be meant for a man. Another example of an unequal society is certain places only being meant for certain cultural groups, this is not always unequal if the area is only populated...

...The society that we live in, may be seen as fair by some and unfair by others. It is said that society is at most unfair point throughout history. The authors of The Spirit Level, states that society has come to a point where there is more inequality than ever. In 1921, the life expectancy for men was 4 years less than that of women; this number had risen to 5.5 years in the 1990s. This is one of the many ways that society may be deemed as unequal. There is however many different ways as to how why and how a person may be treated less favourably than other people. Within society, an aspect of inequality is labelling. Labelling is process where someone holds a certain belief over another individual. Within sociology labelling is a way of controlling the behaviour of an individual. For example, in a school a teacher may label a student as a failure if the student is someone who cannot complete their homework due to other commitments or not having the facility to do so. Due to the label that the teacher has against the student, the attitude that the teacher will show the student would lead the student to failure. This is self-fulfilling prophecy. Self-fulfilling prophecy that the individual, who has been labelled, adapts their attitude and follows the attitude of the label. When a positive label is associated to an individual such as ‘she is an overachiever’ this is known as the Halo effect. Stereotyping is another form of inequality within society. Stereotyping and...

...------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- D1: Evaluate the teams overall effectiveness in meeting its objectives, making recommendations for improvements Introduction: This section of the assignment will evaluate the overall effectiveness in meeting objectives and making recommendation for improvements. Functioning as an effective team does not occur instantly; rather it requires joint effort, inspired members and active leaders. A successful team would often consist of a range of members, who when put together, would apply their skills and attributes appropriately thus leading the team to succeed in achieving their goal. The following factors below demonstrate the overall effectiveness of our team. Planning: The process of planning during the project was carried out effectively- the clear instructions received at the start enabled the team to have a good idea of the task therefore allowing members to contribute appropriately. As the team leader I had taken an organised and structured approach through dictating what steps the team would take alongside the time limit in which this should be achieved. Through planning, the team was able to systematize what needs to be done and the time frame that is available. The decision of the team’s roles was a key component of the planning process; planning out the responsibility of each member was effective since it assisted in fulfilling all aspects of the task in an organized...

...Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing the following letter to inform you on the different ways a team can improve their performance, you’ll be given examples that are based on a team that I have already been on. Objectives of the Team To meet M3 To Meet P6 Team Performance | Team Activity | Effective | * performance indicators, | My team’s task was to create 4 brand extensions for a selected programme, strictly come dancing. We also had to plan an event to promote the new brand extensions but we were given a strict budget for the venue, the food and entertainment for the guest. Finally once we had done all of that we had to put all the work we had done a PowerPoint presentation, which had to present to some judges and an audience. | The team was very effective due to the fact that we also listen to each other and accepted the ideas of individuals within our groups in order to make they didn’t feel left. The ideas began to follow through, so when it comes to creating our brand extensions for strictly come dancing we had no difficulties at all. The team was also effective because some people in our team have not achieved and met p6, so by come completing the task we meet M3 which the reason we when to the BBC and the people I our groups who never meet and achieved p6 met by the end of the task. | Target setting, | My team only set one target and that was to complete all tasks within the set time, so that we could have time to go over our presentation and perfect...

...The Teams Overall Effectiveness We had three main objectives for the event; build the profile of the charity, raise as much money as possible for the charity and to run a successful event. I think we managed to do all three of those objectives because we managed to raise £1038 from the Quiz Night and the feedback we got from the event was positive. The guests praised our attitude, the food, and our behaviour during the event. However the only two complaints they had were the heating in the hall and the difficulty of the questions. During the actual event everyone was given jobs to do and I think we all did them to a good standard. I was a kind of host as I did a presentation in the beginning of the event and gave people information as to why we were doing the event. Mitchell and Bradley were in charge of selling and organising the raffle and silent auction which they did brilliantly. Sandie and Danielle sorted all of the fish and chips and set them out on the tables in the canteen in the different teams. Before the event, the set up was done very quickly. We all took tables up to the hall and measured the correct distance between the walls and all the tables and chairs. I placed all the bits of paper and place names etc. on the tables so it all looked nice. Then we set up the instruments for the band and prepared the presentation so everything would flow smoothly. I think I performed well on the quiz evening, I thought I contributed a lot in the evening and did...

...I will be talking about the different types of teams and the benefits organisation have in when working in a team. Virtual- teams that are separated by location, so they work together remotely using the internet and technology. The way that a team would need this would be if for example if a group needed to go to London and they had some of their members working in Wolverhampton then they would need to use the internet and things such as face time, skype etc. Cross function- people from different function (departments) in a business come together to work as a team for a project. Therefore it is a temporary team. The way that a team would use this in a team is only if you are working on a project and then you will get put with people from different places to work on a new project but only as a temporary team so that you will be able to complete the task. Permanent – a team that works together for a long time and often on a day basis each member will have their own role. The type of group that would be working together for a long time and are always in the same group. Temporary- a tea, developed for a short time period to complete the task is complete the team ceases to exist. A team that has to be made to handle a small project that has been set out to them. Project- individuals come together temporarily to work on a one off task or project. This is for a person that has got an individual project to complete. Interdependent – a team that cannot complete a task without relying...

...P1 Describe different types of teams and the benefits of teams for an organization What is meant by the term teams? There are multiple ways to describe the term team, which involve a group of people with different skills and tasks, work together on common project, services or goals fusing skills together for mutual support. Teams operate with a high degree of independence, sharing authority and responsibility of self-management working towards a common goal and shared rewards. A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong sense of mutual commitment creates synergy which generates a performance greater than the sum of the performance of its individual members. • Formal Formal teams or groups are created deliberately by managers and charged with carrying out specific tasks to help the organization achieve its goals. The most prevalent type of formal group is the command team, which includes a manager and all employees who report to that manager. In some organizations that want to de-emphasize hierarchy, the titles may change. For instance, at MBA (basketball), the managers of command teams are called “coaches” and the team members are called associates. The benefit of a formal team is that the organizational structure clearly to the superior subordinate relationship such as team players report and get told what’s what by the coach. • Informal An informal team work group is a group formed by employees of an organization that is created under no directive...

Part (a) - Drag the appropriate 6 terms above that describe the team types we have discussed into the boxes below: Part (b) - Drag the definition and benefit descriptions below to the appropriate team type listed in your table. Part (c) - Provide an example of how each team type benefitted (or could benefit) your team during the balloon chair activity. Use the space provided in the table for your answers. TEAM TYPE | DEFINITION/BENEFITS | EXAMPLE | 1. | Temporary teams are hired for specific time or tasks, which would allow the business to alternate teams depending on the business needs. Due to this, the team will be focused on the task they have been set up to do. At the end of the project, the company wouldn’t need to fire the team members as they know their contract is ended at the end of the project. If the business is recruiting, creating temporary teams to do induction tasks would allow the business to analyse employees before hiring them. | Being part of temporary team to do the balloon chair would be a good as the task would get boring as the team would have to constantly perform the task on a daily basis. This could make the team more motivated to perform the task to the best of their abilities as they know they have been selected to do the task. | 2. | By building up a permanent team, the business would save themselves...

...P3 Market Research In this section of Unit 3 I will be discussing Apple and how they conduct their market research. Market research is when a business/organisation goes out and gathers information about customers’ wants and needs. Primary research is a type of market research, its research that has been gathered first hand by the person or group conducting the research i.e. surveys, focus groups or observations. Secondary research is another type of research that involves getting your information from someone else; using the research that someone else has gathered. Qualitative and quantitative are the natures of primary and secondary research. Qualitative research is market research that explores the attitude and behaviours of customers. Apple use this to gain an insight on not only what customers think about their products but why they think it. Quantitative research is the process of gathering information by asking people for their opinions in a structured way in order to produce hard facts and statistics; research that deals with numbers and figures e.g. 65% of iPhone 6 users want the iPhone 6s. The sole purpose of market research is to collect data on customers and potential customers. The data that has been collected aids the business in future decision making thus reducing the risk involved in making such decisions. By aiding in decision making, market research guides apple’s marketing plan as well as the four Ps: place, product, price and promotion. The research gathered...

...but also that it was connected to the triangle in some way, a theory he proposed in his bestselling 1974 book “The Bermuda Triangle”. The mystery has since been promoted in thousands of books, magazines, television shows, and websites. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle consists of a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is defined by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It stretches across less than a thousand miles on any one side.The abnormalities on the sea were first noted in 1950 by Edward Jones in the daily newspaper Miami Herald published in Florida. However the mystery starting catching wide-scale attention in 1952 when George Sand wrote in Fate magazine about incidents like Flight-19, a training flight of five torpedo bomber planes, all of which went missing during a routine training session in 1945 and never returned. A vaguely defined expanse of the Atlantic Ocean triangulated between Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda has enjoyed a rather sinister though perhaps largely unearned reputation for decades. Dubbed the Bermuda Triangle, this area has been linked to a number of disappearances dating back to 1945, when a squadron of five US Navy aircraft on a training mission vanished without a trace. People have always known there was something was something up with that place because when Columbus sailed he reported seeing strange lights and in one instant he reported seeing a huge red flaming fireball type of thing falling...
