HR employees or Business People please help?

Hi, I am currently studying HR and my latest assignment has asked me to look at a case study and prepare a Human Resource plan to achieve certain objectives, such as, reducing staff position by 10%, promotion on merit alone, routine use of external recruitment for all vacancies and implementing appropriate HR policies and procedures. I am required to write 1000-1500 words.

My specific question is how would I go about formatting this ‘plan’. Do I just separate each topic that needs addressing into paragraphs, or is there a specific format that it needs to follow. To be honest my textbooks don’t say anything about a template or specific format so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Can you help me devise three mission statements for 3 fictional businesses?

For my Business exam I have been given a case study which lists 3 business ideas. It is very likely I will have to devise a mission statement for each of these. Currently the business is a agricultural and animal farm but is looking to increase its profit margins, by having an extra line of business operation. The three options are:
1. a farm park where families can go and learn about the workings of a british farm.
2. Set up a caravan and camping site in the farms spare land.
3. or relaunch british beef

Im not very creative and finding it hard to create mission statements. the spec says
(i) For one mark: • A general/visionary statement (1); • a brief summary of a firm’s objectives (1); • immediate and long term goals (1); • any other valid suggestion;
(ii) Additional two marks: • Sets objectives only in qualitative terms (1); • will often focus on needs of customers (1) identifying specific service(s) to be provided (1); • may emphasise desire of business to become best in field

Can you help me with Business Statistics course? I am not a business major. I don’t understand what wrong.?

Can you help me with Business Statistics course? I am not a business major. I don’t understand what wrong. I thought I had known basic Statistics in High School. I just try to know statistics. And I thought by knowing business statistics, I can work in business field, just in case.

I thought I had answered the problems correctly, and I couldn’t believe the Professor didn’t give some points for the answers.

Can you tell me how to study in order to understand it and pass it (of course I want to get an A)? I have to take that course though, so please don’t tell me not to take it.

Please help business?

CASE STUDY
Simon & Sarah Drummond are qualified accountants, having completed their TAFE studies some years previously. In 2001, they commenced their own business “Books on the Run Pty Ltd” – a mobile accounting service operating in the North Eastern suburbs. Books on the Run advertise for a junior accountant to join the firm. Having recently gained your qualifications, you apply for & are successful in gaining the position (they are particularly impressed with thw fact that you have studies Legal Decision!).
1.During your 1st week of work you learn that Sarah is eager to impart her accounting knowledge to students Australia wide & she tells you that she has begun to write an accounting text book entitled “Figure it Out!” & is unsure as to how she would protect the Copyright. However, you also learn that although Sarah is enthusiastic to complete the text in the next 6 months, she has been pushed for time. As a result, she has been referring to an accounting text by another author (J M Hardy) & “just copying some of that”. Additionally, Sarah mentions that an ex-employee had written the 1st chapter of the book over which he was claiming copyright which she did not think he had a right to do.

2.Time passes & your probationary period at Books on the Run expires; you become a full time permanent employee. Simon Drummond, thinks it would be a good idea for you to have your own business cards, especially as you will be involved in a number of promotional events on behalf of the business in the next few months.
After you approve a proof of the anticipated card, the printer makes up the order & delivers the business cards that afternoon in addition to an invoice in the amount of $250.00. Unfortunately, when you open the box, you find that the cards have been water damaged & consequently the ink has run on the majority of them.
Simon immediately complains to the printer & refuses to pay the $250.00. He also demands that all the cards be replaced free of charge as they are not fit for the purpose.

3.The next day you arrive at the office to find Simon & Sarah in a state of panic – they have received a Court summons. On closer inspection you note they are infact being sued for a second hand car which they purchased from Sals Secondhand Autos a few months previously. It appears that the plaintiff on the summons, claims to be rightful owner (not Sarah & Simon) as Sal the motor dealer, was not authorized to sell the vehicle to them for a mount he did.

4.A few weeks afterwards, Simon decides to buy 2 new laptop computers from “Compugig” alarge retailer after he sees a special deal adverised in their latest catalogue (NEC laptops for just $1,199.00). He immediately rushes to Compugig only to be told by the sales assistant that they have “run out” of the “specials” but do have a more expensive model which would suitnthe needs of Books on the Run. Simon later hears from a reliable source that Compugig knew it had insufficient supplies to meet consumer demand.

5.You are about to finish work for the week & whilst you are getting ready to go home, you overhear Sarah talking in her office to Peter Bennets from “Accouting Plus” (a competitor of Books on the Run).
Sarah & Peter agree that as they have market share of the provision of mobile accounting services in the North Eastern suburbs they will increase their prices to $180.00 per hour. You notice subsequently that this does in fact happen.
6.On the Monday morning, Simon tells you that approximately 6 months ago, Books on the Run took a bad debtor, Fred Slack, to court to obtain $5,000.00 in unpaid debts for the provision of accounting services. Eventhough a final court oder was obtained against Fred, the $5,000.00 remains outstanding. Simon wishes to take matters further.

Instroductions:
Produce a formal report (using Harvard system of referencing) advising Sarah & Simon on the above scenarios. In particular you should focus on:
-The area(s) of law which you need to discuss;
-Legal principles & cases in support of those pinciples which you discuss;
-The likely outcome on each scenario;
-Address any possible breaches of the law (common & statute);
-Remedies (if applicable)
If the assessor believes you have not addressed all necessary criteria, you will be asked to rewrite the report. Retain your report on disk.

Action Program (marketing)??? Help!!!?

I’m a business major, and taking this class online. I’m pretty much done with this assignment, it’s basically a business case study. The business has a restaurant/bar, and is incorporating a hotel and convention center. Anyway, I’m to the part of the assignment where I must make an Action Program. I understand this is to show how I plan to carry out all of my marketing strategies I listed in my promotion plan. I’ve never done this, and it took me forever to figure as much out as I’ve already told you.

Now to add insult to ignorance, I’ve been told these are usually done through some sort of chart or graph. However, I can’t find an example of one anywhere on the internet, to get any inspiration from. Is is possible that these go by another name as well? I haven’t been able to find much info on “Action Programs”. Anyone with any knowledge of this please point me in the right direction. Thanks.
