Investigating Two Types of Business Organizations

Introduction:

In this assignment I shall be discussing my views on two different

types of businesses. The businesses that will be discussed are a sole

trader and a partnership. I have chosen two separate businesses, which

are both located outside the borough of Enfield. The first is a Sole

Trader, 'Mario's Barbers'. The owner of the business is Mario Poliviou

he is the employer of my brother-in-law Vas Demetri, so when I asked

Vas about what kind of business I should report about he simply

replied, "why not a barber". Mario was very helpful considering his

shop is located in the heart of Watford. I spent about 15 minutes

talking to Mario where he provided me with some valuable information.

For the partnership I decided to question my dads bosses because there

close to the family. My dad, George Matheou, took me to his workplace

a week ago. I had to take my Saturday off to travel up to the "West

Point Hotel" which is located in the West End near Hyde Park and

Madame Tussauds. The hotel is still being built up as we speak. It's

already the size of a two ordinary hotels, but Sanjeev and Tajil

Richardson (Georges bosses) have bought out the building next door to

transform it to apartments, I think they are established businessmen.

They have there own web page, http://www.westpointhotel.com/, which

comes in help for tourists who would prefer to book via the internet.

I have displayed some of the information from the web page here:

· How to contact the hotel:

· Text Box: The location of the hotel:

This is just a little of the information found on the web site. It

also contains various information about the area.

Sole Trader

A sole trader is a business that is owned and controlled by one

person, as the business is more commonly known as, a 'one man

business'. The business is either owned by private individuals for

example friends and family, this is called the private sector, or by

    There used to be a time when zoos used to be full of animals. A time when extinction was not a problem. That was the past. Today, zoos all around the world are missing many animals such as the African elephant or the dodo bird. All of these wonderful animals became extinct because we were careless enough to let them all die. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is an organization that is trying to prevent extinction from happening. WWF is an environmental organization dedicated to “protecting the world’s wildlife and wetlands” ("World Wildlife Fund"). It is one of the largest private supported conservation organizations in the world, with support from one million members in just the United States. WWF was formed on September 11, 1961 in Morges, Switzerland by Sir Peter Scott. It originally worked by fundraising and providing grants to existing non-governmental organizations. As more resources became available, its operations expanded into other areas such as the preservation of biological diversity. This organization is mostly volunteer-led. Volunteers of all ages are welcome at WWF, whether it is a student looking for volunteer opportunities or an adult looking to help animals. WWF also offers internships for college students who are looking to gain experience for their jobs. Not only does WWF help protect the environment, it also helps protect endangered species and spaces like national parks. WWF saves the animals through varieties of programs, including “education, habitat conservation and increasing the capacity of local governments and people within the endangered animals’ home” ("World Wildlife Fund"). WWF has gained most of its publicity from periodic fundraisers in which volunteers go from door to door asking people to support WWF ...

  • Business Ownership Types

    Sole tradership is when the business is fully owned and managed by one person, though others can be employed to help run the business. As the sole traders only financial income is from the business and/or bank loan, they do not have the resources to expand and cover regional or national areas. These types of businesses are located in the small business sector and usually cover local areas. Such businesses could be hairdressers, corner shops or market stalls etc. Sole traderships have unlimited liability so if the business fails to pay its debts the financial responsibility falls on the owner/s to pay the debts in full even if they have to sell their business, personal possessions and assets.

  • Three Perspectives of Organization Theory

    916 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Hatch and Cunliffe (2006), there are three major perspectives about the study of organization theory (OT): modern, symbolic interpretive, and postmodern. Each of these perspectives comes with its own assumptions and methodologies. Hatch and Cunliffe provided an introduction text about the concepts and characteristics of the three OT perspectives. Tsoukas and Knudsen also compiled a comprehensive handbook summarizing all facets of the meta-theoretical perspectives. In this post the writer will discuss the basic concepts of three perspectives, present Hatch and Cunliffe’s reasons why a multiple perspectives approach to organization theory is important, and compare Tsoukas and Knudsen’s introduction to the Hatch and Cunliffe introduction in their books.
