...BTEC Level 3 in Business – Unit 4: Business Communication Context Businesses need accurate information. This information has to move between different individuals, different departments and different organisations. The information can be anything from a simple idea to masses of data on business performance. It can come from inside an organisation or from almost anywhere outside. Put simply, a business that does not plan how to deal with this information is a business much more likely to fail. The Scenario A medium sized business organisation has identified that communication within their organisation is poor. This has resulted in the calling in of a management consultant (you) to help but together a communication strategy. You will be expected to offer guidance on: • How and why different types of information need to be communicated in different ways. • Where information comes from. • How and why information needs to be recorded and stored. • Explaining what can happen when communication breaks down. • Explaining technological issues affecting information. • What laws and other rules control and constrain the flow of information. You will be expected to produce a report and present your ideas to a selected audience. Task 1 Produce a PowerPoint presentation that explains the nature of communication in business and the various types of information used by a business. You must also explain where this information can come from and...

...Unit 21: Nutrition for Health and Social Care Unit code: L/601/2407 QCF Level 3: BTEC Nationals Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose This unit aims to give learners an understanding of current thinking on nutritional health particularly relating to users of health and social care services. Learners will then be able to apply this understanding and make recommendations to improve the nutritional health of an individual. Unit introduction This unit builds on learner understanding of the principles introduced in Unit 5: Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Improvements in the diet of individuals are increasingly being recognised as a significant factor in maintaining, or effecting improvements, in overall health. It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing...

...Unit 4: Unit code: QCF Level 3: Credit value: Business Communication H/502/5413 BTEC National 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.

...Unit 16: Human Resource Management in Business Unit code: K/502/5445 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to methods of managing human resources in the workplace. Learners will use their knowledge of relevant human resources management theory and link it with current human resource management practices in organisations. Unit introduction Human resource management is a dynamic activity in any organisation as it takes place against a changing economic, technical, legal and social background. It is important for learners to appreciate that effective human resource management means getting the best out of the people who work for an organisation in order to ensure the organisation fulfils its purposes, whether it is a football club winning the premiership, or a hospital increasing the success rates for medical operations. Many organisations say that their employees are their most valuable resource because of their skills, knowledge and attitudes. As labour is both an expensive and valuable resource, it is important to ensure it is planned and that the best value is obtained from employees contributions. Human resource managers have to plan their human resource requirements against a background of internal and external factors which are dynamic and constantly changing. The first part of this unit introduces learners to the factors that influence human...

...1. Joe Holiday has the opportunity to operate a business renting beach umbrellas next summer. He will operate the concession for 3 months. Looking at weather patterns, Joe observes that rain is frequent along this stretch of beach, and on average, there are only 60 rentable days in a summer. In each of these days, Joe believes he can rent 40 umbrellas per day at $7 per rental. Joe will run the concession by himself day, and must pay Beachcomber Enterprises $9,000 for the concession (the use of the umbrellas and for the beachfront rental location). Suppose Joe could earn $4500 working construction. a. What are Joe’s Accounting Profits for undertaking the business? What are his Economic Profits (A = TR - TCEX = 60(40($7) - $9,000 = $16,800 - $9,000 = $7,800 (E = TR - TCEX - TCIM = $16,800 - $9,000 - $4,500 = $3,300 b. Can Joe expect economic profits from the venture? If so, to what are these profits attributable? Yes, he can expect positive economic profits. This is a return to his risk-taking (it might, after all, rain all summer!) or to locational rents (he may have the only stand on the beach) 2.
