Retail Management

Choose a specific retailer that you are interested in from one of the following categories:
• Grocery
• Books
• Sports goods (including clothing)
• Consumer electronics
• Health and beauty
• Children’s wear
Write a report of no more than 2500 words on the module themes by focusing on your chosen retailer.
This might sound like a challenging assessment but the EMA task is broken down into four distinctive parts that build together to form your report. Note that the parts have specific requirements in terms of the style in which you should present your work. There are also guidance notes to help you complete each part.
• a.Write a short introduction explaining why you are interested in this particular retailer and state why you believe this retailer makes an interesting example to explore B122’s themes.
(This part of the assessment is a personal reflection. There is no requirement to refer to academic models, theory or specific module content.)
Word count: approximately 200 words.
(8 marks)
• b.Discuss how your chosen retailer operates within its market and how it competes with similar retailers.
(You might find it useful to check your understanding of the term ‘retail category’ and the materials covering retail competition in Block 1.) 
Word count: approximately 300 words.
(12 marks)
• c.Considering B122’s three module themes, identify how your chosen retailer is currently affected by:
• the global and international retailing environment
• sustainability and ethical concerns
• technology and retailing developments.
• Word count: approximately 400 words per theme (approximate total of 1200 words).
(45 marks)
• d.Using your answers from Part (c), considering the three module themes and the related issues you identified:
• i.suggest how your chosen retailer might respond to each of these three themes
• ii.consider what the future implications of each of the issues arising from these three themes are for your retailer
• iii.make three recommendations that your chosen retailer might take to ensure their long-term success.
Word count: approximately 800 words.
(35 marks)
Guidance notes
General
In tackling the EMA, you are expected to use appropriate concepts from B122 and choose those which support the argument you are making. In addition:
• Relate your answers to the retailer you have chosen rather than write everything you know about a particular area – answer the question(s) asked!
• Note the word limit; do not try to write about all you have learnt from studying B122.
• Read the guidance notes about each EMA part carefully before you start drafting your answers.
• Plan ahead, allowing plenty of time for drafting an answer you feel happy about. You have the time to work on several drafts if you wish, but only submit one version of the EMA.
• Submit your EMA through the online TMA/EMA service.
• Finally, if there is anything about completing the EMA or there are questions within it that you do not understand, ask your tutor.
Part (a)
In Part (a) you need to state which retailer you have chosen to focus on and why. Most of this section is a personal reflection, justifying why you feel the chosen retailer interests you and will be relevant to study for the EMA. You should refer to Block 1 and the sector theme for further ideas and guidance.
Part (b)
Part (b) requires you to focus on your chosen retailer and discuss how it operates within its market and competes with similar retailers. You can refer to examples provided in the module materials and identified in newspapers, magazines and on websites. Whichever source you use, remember to provide references for where the examples you are focusing on originate from.
Part (c)
Part (c) of the EMA is the most substantial part. Marks are awarded for the logic and clarity of your analysis of the three module themes and how they affect your chosen retailer. They are allocated evenly for each of the three themes.
Your answer should discuss how each theme affects your chosen retailer. In preparation for your answer you might find it helpful to revisit theme case materials from Blocks 1–5 and review the information gathered in the process of answering Parts (a) and (b). It is expected that you will use module concepts from Blocks 1–5 in your discussion.
By the end of this part you should have set out the issues affecting your chosen retailer. You should not attempt to discuss how your chosen retailer might respond to the issues as that will form the basis of your answer for Part (d). For example, if you focus on a book retailer you might consider digital technology as a major influence that is going to affect how consumers buy and read books in the future or discuss how the growth of Amazon as an online retailer is affecting the sale of books on the high street.
Part (d)
In Part (d), marks are awarded for the coherence of your argument and the appropriateness of the recommendations.
This is a challenging part of the EMA and to gain good marks you need to put together a logical and coherent argument about how your chosen retailer should respond to the issues you have discussed and analysed in Part (c). Markers will look out for the consistency of your argument and how this builds from your analysis in Part (c) to the final recommendations you make

Part 3 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are extensively employed to assist with working safely. They are sometimes called Safe Work Methods Statements (SWMS). They are usually preceded by various methods of analyzing tasks or jobs to be performed in a workplace. These methods include an approach called Job Safety Analysis, in which hazards are identified and their control methods described.

Develop an SOP to implement Behavioural Based Safety processes at YOUR CURRENT workplace. Explain how these processes can be maintained. Take into considerations the characteristics of users who will be reading the SOP. Write in a language and format that they will easily understand.

Part 4

A swimlane is a visual element used in process flow diagrams, or flowcharts that visually distinguishes responsibilities for sub-processes of a business process.

Design a swimlane for Behavioural Based Safety process/model for your current company. Your swimlanes are named Top Management Sponsor, Steering Committee, Working Committee, Facilitator, Observers and Workers.

You may categorize your flowchart into the following roles:
1. Observed workers
2. Observers
3. BBS Facilitator
4. Management representative
5. Steering Committee
6. Top management
Part 5

Evaluate the workers at your current workplace by conducting a generic Behavioural Based Safety Observation. Identify at least FIVE (5) behaviours at your workplace. You may make your observations based on the elements written in Part 2.
Give at least 3 to 5 examples of behaviours under safe and at risk scenarios. Present all your findings in a table format and discuss them.

Group Observation

This assessment builds on what you learnt from the first assessment. Prepare a detailed structured or semi-structured observation instrument for application with a group of 5-20 people. The group should be not too small but not a really large group either. The task is to conduct a non-participant observation exercise for around 30 minutes. Conceptualize and identify the group, context and reasons for the observation. Collect your data and analyse it in depth. The group of subjects may be any type, and may be aware or unaware of your observation. If you plan to observe in schools and most institutions you will need permission. This also has ethics implications and ethical standards must be maintained at all times. Prepare a summary of your findings (six pages maximum; including a copy of the observation instrument). Of that two pages (max.) should discuss how the observation was conducted and how you analysed the data. Up to two pages should address your findings. The findings should be presented in a summary, but coherent manner. The findings from your observation are very important and are the key to this assessment. Finally include up to one page i-reflective critical analysis of your observation plus your observation schedule. Ensure all four compoents are included in your submission.I will upload the assignment example just follow it but change thee topic from family context to work meeting the staff who i need to focus on their behavior.

Models of Change

 
The ultimate purpose of professional development is to bring about positive changes in teaching that have an impact on student achievement. Having a model of how a desired change will occur can contribute to the success of professional development efforts. In this Application you will explore models of change as they relate to different models of professional development. You will also answer essential questions about a school or school system’s current professional learning practice

Identify the similarities and differences between the two models
Describe how having a model of change can help guide and support professional development efforts
Support your response with information from this week’s The Three I’s of Change video
Then, consider the various models of professional development you learned about in the “Faces of Professional Development in Education: Multiple Intelligences at Work” book excerpt and how the essential components of those models can help to bring about positive change. Which models are currently used at the school? How do you rate the professional development practices at the school you are working with, in relation to the “Model for Planning Results-Based Professional Learning” from your Becoming a Learning School course text? What trends did you notice in the ratings your Walden colleagues reported at their schools? What do the trends reveal? Which seem to be the most difficult components for schools to operationalize? Why do you think this is so?

Finally, based on your review of professional development design practices at the school you are working with, answer the following questions posed by Edie Holcomb (2009, p. 2).

Where are we now?
Where do we want to go?
How will we get there?
How will we know we are there?
How can we keep it going?
Note: Your responses will be based on your learning thus far about professional development models and your current perceptions about professional development in schools. You will have the opportunity to return to and refine these questions at the end of this course.

Submit the following:

Your comparison of two change models and a rationale for having a model of change
A brief analysis of professional learning design at the school and the trends you noticed in your Walden colleague’s responses about their schools
