  24. Factors Affecting Businesses

  25. Business Challenges A business challenge is anything that prevents a business from fully achieving its aim(s). Examples of business challenges: • Morrison’s aim to maximise profits is challenged by Asda opening for 24-hours each day. • Enrico’s fish and chip shop’s aim to maximise profit is challenged by an increase in the cost of fish and potatoes. • The Roodland’s Hospital aim to provide the best possible patient care is challenged by there being a shortage of trained staff. • Cancer Research UK’s aim to raise more money for charity is challenged by the difficulty of obtaining finance to open new premises.

  26. Business Challenges In pairs list as many factors which you think would affect decisions that businesses, such as the Oban Chocolate Company, might make today or prevent them from successfully achieving their aims. eg the recession. Feedback to the class and categorise your findings into 2 columns Internal and External Factors.

  27. Internal or External? A fire broke out in the stockroom. The price of visitor parking in a neighbouring council-run car park has increased by 20% The rate of inflation rose, leading to a general rise in prices. There was a rise in customer complaints due to poor customer service. There was an upward trend in online shopping.

  28. Can we insure against some factors? Apart from crime, discuss as a class some external influences that an organisation could insure against.

  29. Looking at Internal Factors first in more detail… • Employees • inc management • Equipment • Finance • Shareholder Influence • Information

  30. Internal Factors • Employees (including Management): • quality of production; • skill/ability level; • work rate; • attitude; • motivation; • poor industrial relations; • staff leaving the company • What would be the impact of each of the above?

  31. Internal Factors • Equipment • Expense to install initially • Faults/maintenance • Finance • Is there capital available for changes to be implemented? • Shareholder Influences • What are their demands eg dividends vs reinvestment? • Information • High quality and relevance to decision being made? • What would be the impact of each of the above?

  32. SWOT Analysis Analyse the Crazy Music Case Study using these headings. Strengths (Internal) Weaknesses (Internal) Opportunities (External) Threats (External) Internal and External factors affecting a businesses success or failure can be analysed using a SWOT Diagram.

  33. Factors Affecting Success?Internal and External 'Crazy Music' is a local music shop which sells CDs, cassettes, videos, vinyl recordsand t-shirts. The business started 2 years ago when the owner, Dave, financed the business with money that he had inherited. Although he has a great knowledge of music his business sense leaves lot to be desired. Salesof CDs, cassettes and t-shirts were initially good but have steadily fallen since another record shop started up in business last year. The competitor – 'Trendy Music' – uses aggressive advertising campaigns on television and in the local newspapers. 'Crazy Music’spremises are small. The section of the shop which sells classical music is not particularly successful. 'Trendy Music' has recently invested in EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) whereas Crazy Music is still using cash registers. It also appears that suppliers are charging 'Crazy Music' more for goodscompared to its competitors.

  34. Crazy Music Solutions… Strengths - knowledge of music Weaknesses - lack of business sense, no investment in new technology - cash registers, small premises, selection of classical stock which is not selling well, keeping track of stock levels. Opportunities - strong advertising using various media, eg newspapers, TV, change suppliers, invest in EPOS, remodernise or move to new premises, business course. Threats - 'Trendy Music', suppliers increasing prices, changing customer tastes.

  36. External Factors • Political – • legislation (eg environmental, employment, taxation) • Economic • Interest rates, exchange rates, stage of business cycle (eg recession) • Social • Trends and fashions (including environmental issues) • Technological • Improving technology (incegFacetime , Skype, CAD/CAM) • Competition • Innovative ideas from other companies • What would be the impact of each of the above?
