Location Assessment of a Business
The success or failure of a business frequently depends on its
location. The right location will increase the chance of a business
succeeding. The wrong location could increase the chances of a
business failing. The main factors that influence the location of a
business are LABOUR, LAND, RAW MATERIALS AND THE MARKET,
INFRASTUCTURE, SERVICES and some OTHER INFLUENCES.
LABOUR
A business needing a highly skilled workforce need to be in an area
which is in relation with industry, or one with a local training
facilities which would provide the skills needed. A business looking
for mainly unskilled, cheap labour looks for an area with a plentiful
supply.
LAND
The amount and cost of land clearly depends on the business's choice
of location, but so do things such as the nature of land. Businesses
like oil refilling and superstores need large, flat sites, which can
bear heavy loads and have a lot of open space. A site in bad condition
needs more money spent on it and local planning restriction must also
be considered. So either way it is nearly the same amount spent.
RAW MATERIALS AND THE MARKET
Firms dealing with perishable goods, such as canning and freezing
firms, need to be near to where the goods are produced, in order to
save money. Businesses whose process is bulk- reducing, e.g. a brick
makers or a sawmill should also try to locate near to the source of
materials, so again to have lower transport cots. Bulk-increasing
businesses such as car manufactures do the opposite and try to be
close to the market.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES
All businesses need good sources of ...

... businesses are close to various forms of transport links such as
roads, tube stations and bus stations. Errol's customers can leave
their cars and use one of these forms of transport to get to the place
they wish. Sainsbury's employees and customers could get to work or
shop by using one of these forms of transport. So the transport system
is good for both the businesses.
I have found out that many factors affect the location of the
business. Many of these factors have changed over recent years due to
excellent transport and communications. The main things that affect
the location of a business are market, raw materials, other firms,
transport, labour, communications, climate and government policies.
Each one of these factors must be carefully assessed and agreed on
before a firm move site or establish a new site.
Functional Areas of a Chosen Business The different functional areas within the business of Sainsbury’s are as follows: * Customer Service * Retail * Marketing * Trading * Finance * Human Resources * Administration * Payroll I shall not write about what each department actually does within Sainsbury’s: Customer Service This is basically the majority of Sainsbury’s workforce. This involves general duties to be carried out on the shop floor such as checkout assistants which are there for customers to pay for their goods, General Assistants are multi skilled between checkouts and stocking shelves for maximum availability of products for customers. Stock control is another type of customer service Sainsbury’s have.
Place value and the base ten number system are two extremely important areas in mathematics. Without an in-depth understanding of these areas students may struggle in later mathematics. Using an effective diagnostic assessment, such as the place value assessment interview, teachers are able to highlight students understanding and misconceptions. By highlighting these areas teachers can form a plan using the many effective tasks and resources available to build a more robust understanding. A one-on-one session with Joe, a Year 5 student, was conducted with the place value assessment interview. From the outlined areas of understanding and misconception a serious of six tutorial lessons were planned. The lessons were designed using

Jaila Myles 5/9/17 Intro to Sociology Haroon Social Location Paper There are a range of social factors that make up a person’s social location and these attribute to our progression as a person. Social location is “the groups people belong to because of their place or position in history or society”. The main factors that contribute to one’s social location are social class, race, gender, and sexuality.

Automobiles! You just have to have one in this fast paced world! In the United States automobiles are necessary. People need to move from point A to point B. These points can be as close as a few hundred feet or even range up to a few hundred miles! When making these trips safety is a priority. There are hundreds of thousands of automobiles on the roads across the nation and if safety was not considered, thousand would be injured or even killed daily! Automobile safety has come a long way over the years and as every day goes by more and more new ways are created to keep drivers, and their passengers, safe on the road.
means they save a lot of money on wages because people who need a job
do not tear them down. In the last 30 years, private equity has been adding asset and value to their
For formulating a more efficient transport pattern, there are some specific strategies. Firstly, government can encourage people to pay more attention to public transit. The actual data about transit use from most cities indicates that transit use is growing in many cities, in addition, some developed cities have been reducing their car use and pay more attention to the public transport (Newman, 1999). Encouraging urban citizens use more public transit is effective in reducing the quantity of private cars. It is generally known that private cars have brought great pressure on urban traffic. Secondly, government can restrict cars based on the “odd-and-even l...
Till now within 2 days my site got hacked and all saved backups on two external places got corrupted, and now I don't have any other options left. Still I was relaxed as no hard work was done on it, a complete copy paste job (site was still ranking and managing to get around 3-5$ per day).
On the contrary, using private car is the same convenience of travelling as public transport. When people are in a hurry, they can suddenly go ev...
Land transportation is the dominant form of transportation in the world. People can move about land under their own power, either by walking or by other forms of human-powered transportation such as the bicycle. People also use domestic animals as a means of transportation, both for riding and for pulling wheeled wagons or carts.
The development of urban transportation has not changed with the cities; cities have changed with transportation. This chapter offers an insight into the Past and the future of Urban transportation and is split up into a number of different sections. It includes a timeline of the different forms of transport innovations, starting from the earliest stages of urban transport, dating back to the omnibus (the first type of urban transportation) and working in a chronological order until eventually reaching the automobile. However, these changes in Urban transport did not happen for no reason. Different factors within society meant urban transport needed to evolve; points will be made on why society needed this evolution. In contrast I will observe the problems urban transport has caused in society as a result of its rapid progression. Taking account of both arguments for the evolution of urban transport, I will look at where it will go in the future.
Local economic development is seen as one of the most important ways of reducing poverty. It purposes is to create jobs by making the local economy develop. This means that more businesses and factories should be started in the public area. The key participants in a city must meet to reach agreement and take decisions to make the economy develop and make income opportunities for more people, more especially the poor. National government makes plan and provides funds, investigation and other support for local economic development. Cities decide on Local Economic Development plans and the procedure of incoming at a Local Economic Development plan must be part of other process. The Local Economic Development plans should be based on the overall idea outlined in other processes and should take into consideration the consequence of the analysis done to classify difficulties, and arrange development projects. It should also look at things like mixing our residential and work areas, building development corridors between areas and supporting the economy with good public transport.
