...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 different types of information can be communicated Verbally, Written, On Screen, Multimedia and Web-based. Verbal Information involves through the use of a telephone call, face to face or a voicemail. Face to face verbal communication is the best way of passing on information through to different people within a business. This is because it is quick, and is less scope for misunderstanding. However there are some constraints to this type of information, depending on the size of the business, and how easy it is to find people to then pass on the verbal information to other people. Telephone conversations are also useful as they get the information through to the person on the other end of the telephone straight away. Due to Verbal communication being an immediate form of passing on information, it enables a business or organisation to run more efficiently and effectively. Written Information involves the use of physical symbols to represent words, it could also include diagrams, graphs and charts.

...Demand and Supply: The Basics 21 FUNDAMENTALS OF ECONOMICS FOR BUSINESS - (Second Edition) © World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. http://www.worldscibooks.com/economics/6794.html Chapter 2 Introduction The most basic, and in many ways the most lasting, lesson to be learnt from “Economics 101” relates to the fundamental concepts of demand and supply and their interaction. These are usually presented in a simple graphical format involving demand and supply “curves”. The word is in quotes because in this chapter, for simplicity, we will actually assume only straightline relationships between price and quantities demanded and supplied. The main issue that is important in reality is the direction of the relationship between prices and quantities. Will a reduction in price lead to an increase in the quantity demanded of any particular product or service? Will an increase in price lead to an increase in supply? And so on. The principal technical tools for analyzing demand and supply conditions in particular markets, then, are the demand and supply schedules or curves. The demand curve shows an estimate or conjecture about the relationship between the price of any particular product or service and the quantity of that product that will be demanded by consumers. It is usually assumed to slope downward, in the general case, for most products and services. In other words, the lower the price of the item, the greater the quantity of it that will be demanded. Technically, this...
