Differences between the two sectors of my business
McDonalds –
McDonald’s are run to gain a profit and sell as much products as possible in order to aid the growth of the company. They are widely renowned for being one of the best companies in the tertiary sector and one of the biggest companies in this sector.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance –
YAA operate in the same sector, however, they don’t operate to gain a profit and are private as they are a charity. They will be primarily aimed towards providing a service to the public and those In need of their fantastic services.
During my investigation into these two businesses and charities I took part in some interviews with some members and key stakeholders of the businesses and recorded the conversations, one through person and one through Email. First of all, I will show the transcript I took part in between me and a member of the public (Customers) at McDonald’s Barnsley’s store on Old Mill Lane. I aimed to ask primarily around the 4P’s (Product, Price, Place & Promotion) and their overall opinion on the organisation along with improvements they could think of for them. During my first inetview, It was a woman, around middle aged and currently inside McDonald’s at the time, therefore the information I was receiving was legit and was useful to use.
Me: Do you think that McDonald’s prices are reasonably affordable for you and your family?
Customer: Definitely, I think they are fair and within reason, they beat the majority of the competitors and have a lot to choose from as opposed to many other fast food outlets.
Me: Do you think the price range in general of McDonald’s is fair and reasonable?
Customer: I think the most expensive meal I’ve ever bought for myself has come to around £6.50 and many would think that’s very cheap for a meal away from home. I think that’s very reasonable and fair.
Me: Do you think McDonald’s have a good standard of product? And are you happy with the products they sell to you?
Customer: Yes, their products taste much better than other fast food chains and are quite addictive too. I am often very happy with the products since I’m here practically all the time.
Me: Do you often buy the same thing each time you enter an outlet or do you alternate a lot?
Customer: I usually just buy the chicken legend meal, which is fairly filling for its price.
Me: Do you believe that this store (Old Mill Lane) is placed in the correct place within Barnsley?
Customer: Kind of. It’s alright if you have a car but since it’s near an industrialised area, it can be useful if it was within the very centre of Barnsley like KFC. But I’m happy with it here personally.
Me: Almost done. What is it what makes you return to McDonald’s as often as you believe you do?
Customer: Probably the prices, the deals they always have on and the short distance I have to travel to get to it. It’s simple and it feeds me and my family.
Me: Where is it where you most often see a McDonald’s advertisement?
Customer: They do a lot of Billboard advertisements and I often see a lot of promotions and offers on the back of bus tickets….I use a lot of offers that they give which is one of the reasons I return so often.
Me: Is there anything you would say for what you believe could improve McDonald’s?
Customer: I would say that the main concerns are the healthiness of the food they sell. They could have healthier options that are actually healthier, as I heard that their salads are actually more fattening than their burgers!
In my next interview with a stakeholder of McDonald’s I asked questions towards the attention of a staff member at the same McDonald’s outlet on Old Mill Lane. This was on the same day and immediately after the interview finished above.
Me: Do you think you serve your customers a right standard of quality product?
Staff Member: Definitely, no doubt
Me: Do you believe McDonald’s offers a spectrum of healthy to non-healthy foods – for all people?
Staff Member: Yes, There’s plenty of salads on offer and other healthier options on the menu we have. Obviously there are going to be things on the menu that aren’t healthy, such as the bigger burgers we offer.
Me: From your point of view, are your prices fair and reasonably affordable for all?
Staff Member: Absolutely, we have meal deals and also the saver menu which is widely promoted to draw in many ‘less income’ customers.
Me: Do you think that McDonald’s does well for the prices they have in store?
Staff Member: Yep, I think that’s clearly seen by the fact that there’s so many outlets! Everywhere you go there’s a McDonald’s pretty much nearby.
Me: Do you think this outlet (Old Mill Lane) is placed in the correct position within Barnsley town centre? Why/Why not?
Staff Member: Whatever I say it won’t change the location! I think we generate a large amount of customers at all times of day due to us being very close to the college, yet I think if we were up that hill (Old Mill Lane) we could create more income, but here’s fine.
Me: Where do you think the ideal place would be in Barnsley for a McDonalds?
Staff Member: I’d just stay where we are now, as I said previously there’s possibility we could increase customer rates if it was easier to get to in the very centre of the town around where KFC is, however, I think it easy to get to anyway.
Me: Since you clearly work at McDonald’s and no doubt it’s a huge, tempting business for many people to apply to work for, how hard was it to get your job and how did you here of the vacant position?
Staff Member: There was around 50 applicants for my job and other jobs vacant at the time of me applying, luckily I got the job! I saw the advertisement online on a job website.
Me: Do you get a lot of customers coming into the store asking for the seasonal products they see on billboard, TV and many other platforms of advertisements?
Staff Member: All the time, they really make a difference to how much people come into the store during each season and how much we lose after a certain seasonal item has ended.
During the next stage of my interviews between my business and my charity, I will show the interviews that took place between me and certain stakeholders of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. During these interviews, I asked my brother, who had been in an air ambulance once when a collision occurred to my little brother in which an Air Ambulance had to take him to hospital as soon as possible. I also took part in an Email conversation between one of the head members of the YAA. Both will be seen below. During these interviews, I took the same approach as above and tried to ask questions orientated around the 4P’s and other key influences that can be done towards the YAA charity.
Me: Were the members of the YAA nice and pleasant when you went in the ambulance?
Brother (Customer): Yes they helped me massively to put away the pain I was in.
Me: Do you think the YAA promotes well? Have you seen their logo’s been used anywhere publically?
Brother: Yes, I noticed that they were sponsoring Huddersfield Town’s Shirts that will get a lot of attention. Maybe they could do even better so that they get even more publicity and more funds from it.
Me: Were the members of the YAA who treated you fully determined and concentrated on assisting you?
Brother: Definitely, They calmed me down greatly and stopped me from concentrating on the pain from my broken leg, they made sure I got to the hospital as quick as they possibly can and I’m sure they do with every other person they come across.
Me: Do you think the charity is located properly and in the right distance to get to every person they possibly get called out too?
Brother: I heard that they had two locations with helicopters in each to dispatch from, in opposite locations across Yorkshire. That’s clever as they should be able to cover the whole area of Yorkshire with ease with whichever location is closer.
Me: Just how quick did they manage to get you to the hospital after arriving at the scene?
Brother: it must have been shorter than 10 minutes and we lived around 15/20 miles away! Really great and useful way to get people to safety.
Me: Were you thoroughly pleased with how you were treated overall?
Brother: Yes, I hope they survive and continue to help people all over Yorkshire. They are greatly useful and everyone should donate to the services they offer to everyone as they are needed massively.
Me: Would you recommend the YAA to anyone else who may require their assistance?
Brother: Yes, they are incredibly helpful and have probably saved tones of lives. They are much needed within Yorkshire and need funding to last and survive.
During my next interview, it was between me and an important member of the YAA (Sarah Silverwood – South Yorkshire regional fundraising manager), this was done through Email and can be seen below.

One of the main sources of random error is in the equipment we use in making measurements. Random errors of this type are always present and cannot be eliminated, they are a result of limitation inherent in the equipment we use and are out of our control. Some random errors can be eliminated or at least reduced. For example, we were weighing a sample of a chemical (Sodium Carbonate) near an open window. The draughts of air from the window would move the balance pan up and down, thereby decreasing or increasing the mass measurement in a random fashion. By closing the window or by surrounding the pan with a draught excluder, this random error could be eliminated. * There may have been an error whilst making standard solution, the error indentified was not mixing the standard solution properly and also not ensuring that all of the solute was transferred, because 1.5g of sodium carbonate was added to the volumetric flask and then a little bit of water was added and then we swirled the volumetric flask to dissolve the solute in the water and then added distilled water up to the line and left it, to further ensure the solute was mixed into the water and all of it was transferred properly we could have added the solute into a beaker first...

Strategic decisions are the decisions that are concerned with whole environment in which the firm operates the entire resources and the people who form the company and the interface between the two. In this task I will talk about the appropriateness of business information used to make strategic decisions. Having correct information before you make a decision that affects the whole company is vital for the company in the economic environment we are currently in at the moment. Verbal information - Is the sharing of information between individuals by using speech. Individuals working within a business need to effectively use verbal communication that employs readily understood spoken words, as well as ensuring that the enunciation, stress and tone of voice with which the words are expressed is appropriate. Verbal information ensures that you have a strong relationship and you build a trust between the individual that you are trading with, when making important decisions that affect the whole business you need to make sure that you know the individual of company and their history when you are dealing with them a background check is also important because then you have a reassurance that you will not be ripped off.

...In this assignment im going to evaluate the approraiteness of two sets of business information used by BBC to make strategic decisions, and how it helps the bbc to make strategic decisions about how to improve their operations. Annual Report 2013/14 In the BBC website they have a page of informations about the income and operation cost of both of the years of 2013/14. This is suitable for people in the the company and outside the company. The advantages of using this information is that It helps the people in the company because it shows how they lost and gained their money during the years in the company and they will know how the improve the year after. Also it has an easy access because is open to everyone 24/7. Another advantage it could be that the budgets reveal how much room the company has to spend on introduction of products, developing marketing campaigns or expanding the company. On the other hand one disadvantage of using financial statements for decision making is that the data and figures are based on the market at that given time which it was 2013/14. Depending on the market, it could change quickly, so managers should not assume that the numbers from a previous financial statement will stay the same, increase or decrease. So for example if BBC made £5,066 of total income in 2014 it does not mean it would be the same or it would increase. Another disadvantage is that it doesn’t show the previous income and operating cost, so you won’t know if the improved the...

...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...

...D1- Evaluate the appropriateness of information used to make important strategic decisions. The Coca Cola Company is an American beverage corporation, manufacturer, retailer and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, which is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. One department at Coca Cola is the financial department. The financial department uses on screen communication, this allows them to create data on the company’s financial assets. They use on screen communication to present databases, charts and a budgeting table for the company. A strategic decision that this department has made is to buy the remaining shares in Innocent drinks company. “The London company’s sales have grown 89% a year from £16.7m in 2004 to £113.2m in 2007.”(Sunday Time Fast Track, 2008)  The purpose of this strategic decision is to find a new market because Coca-Cola, the world’s biggest beverage company currently did not sell juice/smoothies in Europe. On the one hand Coca Cola based its decision to acquire Innocent Drinks on the growth figures reported. The information that Coca Cola use is appropriate and effective because, it allows Coca Cola to spot a gap in the market. They have seen the company become Europe’s most popular smoothies/juices company (Innocent is Europe’s top smoothie player, 2010). The successful relationship between Coca Cola and Innocent Drinks will support even more innovation and international expansion. However, they potentially should not of purchased...

...For this part of the assignment I am going to be evaluating how nature and nurture may affect the development of an individual over two life stages. I will be looking at the effects of nature, nurture in relation to the Jim twins, development over their childhood and adulthood. D1 Nature and Nurture Effects on Childhood Physical Development The Jim twins were identical twins and nature obviously had a big effect on how they looked, both the boys inherited genetics from their parents which determined what they were going too looked like, during their childhood the boys would have looked identical, but they just didn’t know each other. But one twin in his childhood had a fringe and the other didn’t, these different hair styles would have been the effect of nurture as he would have been influenced to have his hair that way by seeing others with the same hairstyle or his adoptive parents wanting him to have his hair like that. Nature would have had an effect on the twin’s physical development as the genes they gathered from their biological parents would have determined that during their childhood, they disliked basketball and other sports, this could have been because, both their parents may not of been very sporty, which could of led them to inherit gene which meant they were going to be very athletic/sporty either.

Development Through the Life Stages Unit 4 P1 M1 D1 Health and Social Care Level 3

...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...

...PROGRAMA DINAMIS Pendahuluan Dalam Kehidupan nyata sering dijumpai masalah pengambilan keputusan yang meliputi beberapa periode waktu. Program Dinamis adalah teknik untuk pengambilan keputusan yang digunakan untuk pengambilan keputusan yang terdiri dari beberapa tahapan. Permasalalahan yang akan diselesaikan diuraikan menjadi sub persoalan yang saling berhubungan. Tujuan Program Dinamis adalah mengoptimalkan urutan keputusan. Program Dinamis diterapkan pada persoalan bisnis dan industri, a.l. masalah penjadualan produksi, pengendalian persediaan, analisa jaringan, dan lain sebagainya. Contohnya seorang produsen menjadualkan tingkat produksi tahunannya ke dalam mingguan, bulanan atau triwulanan agar dapat memenuhi permintaan tahunan. Jika dia memproduksi lebih dari permintaan, dia harus mengeluarkan biaya persediaan, karena menyimpan kelebihan produksi. Sebaliknya jika produksi dibawah jumlah permintaan, dia akan mengalami kerugian dalam kesempatan membuat untung dan juga kehilangan kepercayaan pembeli. Dia mungkin juga harus membayar penalti karena tidak dapat memenuhi kontrak. Pimpinan produksi harus membuat urutan keputusan untuk setiap periode, yang akan berdampak pada keputusan berikutnya. Masalah optimasi pada kasus ini adalah meminimalkan keseluruhan biaya produksi dan persediaan (dua penalti, jika ada) yang memenuhi kebutuhan permintaan. Teknik pemecahan pada programa dinamis ini beragam, tergantung pada sifat dan struktur dari masalah yang diselesaikan. Hal ini...
