    M2 Unit 37 (Btec Business Level 3)

    Environment- the environment can affect the human activity. So for example; global warming which is the warming of the planet’s surface that is caused by carbon dioxide. In order to run a business efficiently they would need to make sure that their customers are aware of all the environmentally friendly activities that they do and that they are not harming the environment in anyway as some customers do take keeping environment healthy seriously. Sainsbury’s is really cautious about caring about the environmental and being eco-friendly and making sure that they are not causing any damage to the areas around them. They take the climate change seriously. They are concerned about the impact that they have on the environment. Their aim is to reduce the carbon footprint, reduce packaging and reducing waste. Sainsbury’s are concerned about the impact that they have on the environment, also with the career bags they give they make sure that they only take out the amount of bags that they need so that the bags are wasted. They want to make sure that they are making a continuous improvement with the environment so that it is not harming anyone. Sainsbury’s do not want to harm the industrial areas in anyway, and that is why wherever they are located is always safe where it would not cause any damage to the people or the planet. They want the climate to be good and they know what ways it could affect it and what they need to do in order to prevent causing damage and staying away from trouble. In order to improve this Sainsbury’s can make sure that anything that they do does not affect the environment and maybe before making any major changes they take advices from their local areas in what they think and how and what could be done to improve it. They could also charge for the bags so that the customers do not start asking for more bags then they…

    Stakeholder for Staples

    Stakeholders are individuals and constituencies that contribute, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to its wealth-creating capacity and activities, and who are therefore its potential beneficiaries and/or risk bearers1. There are several different types of stakeholders associated with a corporation, and those stakeholders can have different views and opinions on what corporation 's goals should be and how they should be running. I have interviewed three different stakeholders of Staples Inc., an employee, a customer and a stock holder, to find their relationship between them and the firm. Then, I will use this information to suggest how the firm should proceed and continue to have a better and more beneficial relationship with its stakeholders.…

    Sustainability Memo

    We live in a finite world, and as the world becomes more aware of our limited resources, it is expected that businesses become more transparent about what they are doing to be socially responsible and sustainable.

Their efforts and goals demonstrate their commitment to their core values, their culture, society, and future generations. According to sustainability report, sustainable sourcing allows McDonald’s to create value for not only their business but the society as well.

    Pestle Analysis Memo

    After much research and seeking the advice of all of my colleagues I have come up with what I believe will be the best direction for the President to go in regarding this matter. First thing is first, it would not be a wise decision to raise taxes. The reason this will not be a good decision is solely because decisions need to be made that will not only benefit the government but the country and all of its residents as a whole. Although some of our people are able to pay more in taxes, not all of our residents in fact there are more individuals…

    Freeman vs Friedman

    Edward Freeman’s “Managing for stakeholders” was an interesting selection which clearly defined several possible stakeholders for a business, primary and secondary, and how important each one is to the survival of the business as is the survival of the business to their survival. Customers, bankers, financiers, employees, and suppliers are all stakeholders. The selection stressed how important it was for the executive of a given corporation to have the skill set to manage the relationship between the stakeholders and the corporation to create value for all over time. My personal reaction to the article was a positive one in the sense that it was a clear message and made sense. However, I feel the article was repetitive and a little too drawn out. I realize the importance of the examples and the different perspectives of managing stakeholders and putting yourself in their position. I learned a lot from this article, but it became tedious in the last seven pages.…

    Describe the type of business purpose and ownership of two contrasting businesses

    Sainsbury’s is the UK’s most long standing major food retailer, having opened its first shop in 1869. Sainsbury’s brand is built around providing fresh and tasty food for its customers. It differentiates itself from other supermarkets by offering a broad range of products at a great price, a strong ethical approach to business and continuous leadership. The size of Sainsbury’s consists of 504 supermarkets and 309 convenience stores. A large Sainsbury’s produces over 30,000 products. Sainsbury’s is currently in the tertiary and secondary sector, this is because Sainsbury’s provides services (through banks), sell goods and own their own farm.

    Woolworths Ltd Doing the Right Thing

    Welcome to the Woolworths Limited Sustainability Strategy 007–015. Woolworths has been around for over 80 years. We’re proud of our history and reputation as a successful business. And we know that the world is changing. We recognise that our customers, shareholders, staff and other stakeholders now expect us to be aware of and respond to the challenges of sustainability. For an organisation as large and diverse as Woolworths, the issues around sustainability are complex and the challenges tough. But we’ve never shied away from dealing with tough issues before, and that has contributed greatly to our achievements in the past. The way we see it, sustainability is about doing the right thing. At Woolworths we have always been very proud of our strong values. As one of Australia’s largest companies, the changes we make can have an enormous impact – on our shareholders, our suppliers, our staff, our customers, and our local communities. But more than anything, sustainable behaviour just makes good business sense. We know we have a lot of work to do on these issues. And we don’t have all the answers now. But we are serious about asking the right questions. We don’t see sustainability as a stand-alone activity. Instead, it is a process that we are embedding in everything we do. With 180,000 employees working in almost every city and town across Australia and New Zealand, the task of changing our behaviour is a big challenge. But it’s a challenge I believe we can meet,…

    Stakeholders and Organizations

    A stakeholder who is able to effectively parlay their power and influence can have a profound impact in how that particular organization conducts business on many levels which, in turn, may create some rethinking and reposturing of the mission, vision, and strategy of an organization. It is certainly in the best interest of the organization to build strong relationships with their many stakeholders so as to add value to their overall brand and image (Lawrence & Weber, 2011).…
