Devising an Organization System for a Small Business
Video shop
The owner of a video rental shop asked me to organise his business.
He is completely disorganised and he is always losing important files
and scraps of paper.
The owner of the video rental shop bought a computer and asked me to
devise a system for him.
I decided to use a database system, which will help his business to
be more efficient.
. A record of all the videos has to be kept so that if a customer
comes in and make
enquires about a specific video, shop assistants can immediately
inform them
whether they have it in the shop at that time.
. A record of customers has to be kept with the video they have on
hire so that
overdue notices can be sent if required.
. The various pricing strategies have to be calculated so that special
offers such as
‘hire three get one free’ and other can be applied.
I have talked to the owner of the video shop
and he has given me these requirements.
The database system must allow him to see details
of customers quickly and easily.
The new system must be able to give me information
of all the video’s which are available in the shop.
He wants to see a record of customer’s who hire
videos so that overdue notice can be sent if required.
The manager is worried about a competitor stealing
the database and seeing the details of his customers.
Therefore, he wants the system to be password protected.
I am going to use a computer to solve this problem because it is
more efficient ,fast and it also has back up disk so that if any files
are lost it will still be on the system. It is also cheaper because
less
money will be spent on paper to record the details of customers.
Below is an example of a questions that a customer
96% of the Betamax owners used it to record programs shown when people weren’t able to watch
These days, technology does not need to be revolutionary to scare people and cause controversy; it only needs to be evolutionary, in that large technological leaps are not as important. In 1999, two companies - TiVo and Replay - introduced a slightly fancier VCR-like device called a digital video recorders (DVR) or a personal video recorder.ii These devices essentially duplicate the functionality of VCRs, but make them slightly easier to use. Now, consumers can choose to record a television show by name and for a whole season instead of only one episode. The black box records constantly so that users can pause live television and return to pick up where they left off.
The company should have a clear mind that Tivo was not for all the TV users, it could not change all the customers’ habit in such a way. Tivo was only suitable for people who did not care about ads and the people had busy daily schedules.
A society of organizations is one in which organizations enter our lives as influential forces in a great many ways — in how we work, what we eat, how we get educated and cured of our illnesses, how we get entertained, and how our ideas are shaped’ (Henry Mintzberg 1989)
which if left on your drive, cause extreme slow downs when you CPU is at work.
Many customers, question as to why they are being watch, thus conclude that this is unethical and a sense of distrustful towards the customers. However, some stores do not use surveillance cameras to watch for thieves, or just to protect their merchandise. Despite all the assumptions, video surveillance actually functions as a tool to provide better customer experience. According to the video, “Science of Shopping: Cameras and Software that Track our Shopping Behavior” by Science Nation they developed a software that will formulate data of consumer behaviors. The intended use for this software was to oversee the elders and disabled people in their homes.
Not only do businesses benefit from consumer surveillance, but so do the consumers. Of course being analyzed when shopping will raise some privacy concerns, and many news outlets have headlines like, “Revealed: how facial recognition has invaded shops – and your privacy” from The Guardian. It is true that retail anthropologists keeping surveillance footage and viewing customer’s every move is invading one’s privacy. However, consumers need to realize that businesses are not keeping video records of customers in stores to expose their identities to the world. Instead, they are keeping those records to improve the customer’s experience when shopping. Malcolm Gladwell, a staff writer for the New Yorker, wrote an article titled “The Science of
