...Ellie Richards Unit 4 P1 M1 P1- explain different types of business information, their sources and purposes Verbal communication is one of the best methods when it comes to communicating with another individual or individuals, this is because when you are emailing someone, the point you are trying to get across doesn’t always get their understanding, as they aren’t able to hear the tone of your voice to understand what it is you are meaning by what you are saying. Verbal communication can be done face to face, over the phone, or using devices such as Skype. Interacting face to face is also quicker and helps you get a better understanding of the information that the individual is giving to you, it also gives you the chance to ask any questions to the person who is providing you with this information, and it also helps you get to know other individuals. Verbal communication is something that people do in their everyday lives, and it’s something that people are used to. There for it’s probbaly the best method when it comes to communicating with people and getting information to individuals. An example when we had a good method of verbal communication was when the head teacher of Strode College (James Staniforth) done a presentation to all of the new students within the college on the first day. The main characteristics within the information that was provided, was to give all of the new students the information that they needed to know about the college. This included...

BMET use lectures as a verbal communication by teachers presenting lectures to their students about their subject. When we started the college we got a small lecture about the course we had chosen. | Birmingham Metropolitan College has enrollment days provided for the students that want to join a new course’s or carry on their current course. On this day the internal source which is the HR (Human Resources) will make sure that there is enough staff on duty for each subject. Another internal source which would be needed is the security on that day; this is because of the safety of the college and the students who are inside the college. Another example of an internal source would be that the HR can provide information about the staffing and training within the college. So if college is hiring a new lecture the HR department would interview them and ask if they need or had any training done within the college. The external...

Diabetes (type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes) There are many different possible difficulties which can be involved in diagnosing Diabetes (type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes) and Stroke from their signs and symptoms. Firstly, there may be difficulties when diagnosing physiological disorders such as Diabetes and Stroke due to the signs and symptoms of both of the disorders being similar to other types of disorders. Therefore, this means that when a patient goes to their General Practitioners with the signs and symptoms of Diabetes, the doctor will need to make a few investigations before the disorder is diagnosed. They do this so that the doctor does not get the signs and symptoms of the patient mixed up with other physiological disorders. Difficulties in diagnosing Type 1 diabetes The signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes are having blurry vision.

...Unit 4 – Business Communication Introduction: In this assignment I am going to explain different types of business information, their sources and purposes and analyse different types of business information and their sources. Verbal information: Verbal information is given from one person to another by speaking; this can be done in interviews face to face and interviews over the phone. Tesco will have an internal human resource department where they would hire new staff to work for the business, or train staff that are new and need to know what they have to do. Also disciplining staff and dealing with health and safety and policy making such as sickness policy. The advantages of verbal information is that when the person comes in for the interview you can see if he will be capable for the job and also when you are talking to someone face to face you can understand them properly. The disadvantages of verbal information is that the person getting interviewed wont be confident and things may go wrong, also another disadvantage is that the interview can go on for a long time depending on the interviewee and his background. You can pass over verbal information through internal sources such as face to face interviews and can pass over verbal information through external sources such as focus groups. The purpose of verbal information is that when employing new employees they can expand as a business. Also there will be more jobs available for other people that want to work...

Marks and Spencer’s have used business information a lot in their company within the 130 years of existents. In M&S verbal information is used, which is where two or more people communicate face to face in either a formal or in-formal manure. Verbal Communication Verbal or oral communication uses spoken words to communicate a message. When most people think of verbal communication, they think of speaking, but listening is an equally important skill for this type of communication to be successful. Verbal communication is applicable to a wide range of situations, ranging from informal office discussions to public speeches made to thousands of people. Improving M&S’s verbal communication skills can help them to foster better relationships with their co-workers and maintain a large network of contacts that anyone can call on when necessary.

...Discuss the nature-nurture debate in relation to the development of the individual (M1) & Evaluate how nature and nurture may affect the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of two stages of the development of the individual (D1). Nature can be loosely defined as genetic inheritance or the genetic makeup (the information encoded in your genes) which a person inherits from both parents at the time of conception and carries throughout life. Several things in an individual genetically inherits include; ranging from gender, eye colour, risks for certain diseases and exceptional talents to height. The concept of nature thus refers to biologically inherited tendencies and abilities that people have and which may get revealed later on as they grow up. Nurture can be defined as the different environmental factors to which a person is subjected from birth to death. There are many environmental factors. They include both physical environments and social environments. Some theorists believe that people behave as they do according to genetic predispositions or even because of ‘animal instincts.’ This is known as the ‘nature’ theory of human behaviour. Other theorists believe that people think and behave in certain ways because they are taught to do so. This is known as the ‘nurture’ theory of human behaviour. (www.yourenglishlessons.wordpress.com) Nature refers to the inherited (genetic) characteristics and tendencies that influence development. Some inherited...

...Development through the life stages. UNIT 4 P1 M1 D1 Development through the life stages. UNIT 4 P1 M1 D1 * Introduction In this essay I will be explaining the development throughout the life stages. This is including conception, pregnancy (1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters), birth and infancy (0-3years), childhood (4-9years), adolescence (10-18years), adulthood (19-65years), older adulthood (65+) and the final stages of life. This will include physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. I will further this by discussing nature versus nurture, and conclude by evaluating how this will affect the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. * Conception Each month a group of eggs in the ovaries grow in small sacks named follicles. Eventually one of these eggs leaves, this is ovulation. This typically takes places 2 weeks before the next period is due. Once the egg leaves the follicle it develops into the corpus luteum, releasing a hormone to thicken the uterus lining, preparing for the egg. Once released the egg travels to the fallopian tube, where it remains for 24hrs waiting for sperm to fertilize it. This takes around 2 weeks after the period. If there is no sperm to fertilize the egg, it travels through the uterus and falls apart. The hormone levels return to normal, and the uterus sheds the lining, starting the period. If a sperm does make its way into the egg, it fertilizes, no other sperm will be able to access the egg. As soon as fertilization...

...Unit of accountMain article: Unit of account A unit of account (in economics[25]) is a standard numerical monetary unit of measurement of the market value of goods, services, and other transactions. Also known as a "measure" or "standard" of relative worth and deferred payment, a unit of account is a necessary prerequisite for the formulation of commercial agreements that involve debt. To function as a 'unit of account', whatever is being used as money must be: Divisible into smaller units without loss of value; precious metals can be coined from bars, or melted down into bars again. Fungible: that is, one unit or piece must be perceived as equivalent to any other, which is why diamonds, works of art or real estate are not suitable as money. A specific weight, or measure, or size to be verifiably countable. For instance, coins are often milled with a reeded edge, so that any removal of material from the coin (lowering its commodity value) will be easy to detect. Store of valueMain article: Store of value To act as a store of value, a money must be able to be reliably saved, stored, and retrieved – and be predictably usable as a medium of exchange when it is retrieved. The value of the money must also remain stable over time. Some have argued that inflation, by reducing the value of money, diminishes the ability of the money to function as a store of value.[4] Standard of deferred paymentMain article: Standard of deferred payment While standard of deferred payment is...
