This report touches on the implications of the brother’s proposal to take some of their existing staff from their manufacturing company into the fast food business. It also discusses the relevant leadership, motivation and group/team theories that Bob and Lloyd can apply in their fast food business. These issues are of vital importance in running a successful business.

Leadership theories

The Contingency leadership theory was developed by Fred Fiedler and it supposes that by addressing; leader-member relations, task structure, and position power, you are at the same time attending to the effectiveness of a leader. Considering that Lloyd and Bob intend to use their existing staff at their manufacturing company they may consider using this leadership theory. This is because; they can easily identify a leader who can mediate between them and the other staff and thus address the aspect of position power (Venture International, 2010). Secondly, putting up a team that can work with the chosen leader is also easy for them hence it is more likely that the staff would have a strong leader – member relation. Finally, the staff is composed of people who know each other and thus creating a stronger leader – member relation becomes easy for them.

The path-goal theory was developed by Robert House and it stresses on increasing subordinate motivation through taking into account their ideas and making it clear to them how they can perform at their best. Given that they fast food business is based on the ethos of excellent service, employee motivation will be very vital to them and thus this leadership style may come in handy.

The leader-style theory was developed by Vroom and Yetton and guides leaders in making suitable decisions and also provides a measure of the extent to which subordinates can be included in the decision making process. The advantage of this style is that subordinates are committed to the organizations objectives and it encourages leader-subordinate interaction (Matrix Solutions, 2009). The brothers who have a clear vision of providing excellent service and food produced using high quality products plus a long term objective of expanding beyond Cambridge would find this an appropriate leadership model for them

Motivation theories

One motivational theory that is appropriate for Bob and Lloyds’ fast food business is the Aldefer motivational theory. This need based theory argues that, the team – working arrangements will though out be a source of motivation to employees even after their have satisfied a certain need. This motivational theory is compatible with the brothers’ long term objective of expanding their fast food business beyond the borders of Cambridge.

The equity theory is also another appropriate motivational theory that can be applied in Bob and Lloyds’ fast food business. Application of this theory in the work place shows a concern for equity and fairness because it ensures that efforts that employees are putting into their respective jobs don’t go unrewarded. Considering that the fast food business intends to offer excellent service and provide food produced with high quality ingredients, individual employee and team efforts towards this end should be noticed and rewarded.

A combination of Aldefer and the equity theory is another way to go for Bob and Lloyds’ fast food business. As pointed above they will ensure that the desired culture of the business is maintained and also will aid in achieving Bob and Lloyds’ fast food business long term objective.

Another motivational theory that can work in Bob and Lloyds’ fast food business is the Hertzberg motivational theory. This theory emphasizes on motivators such as recognition, promotion, achievement, responsibility etc. and factors called hygienes which include salary, work environment, supervision, company policies etc.. The presence these two promotes motivation and an acceptable working environment, however, their absence does not lead to dissatisfaction.Bob and Lloyd can use this theory to design a work place that integrates more motivators.

Leadership will be very important to realize the objective of the process ArticleSnatch, 2010). The management must adopt a suitable leadership style that will address the issues that might crop up and the leadership fraternity needs to be proactive. The manager of the restaurant being vested with authority to steer the restaurant enterprise must not use his/her powers wisely. The leader might decide to be authoritarian which might cost the enterprise greatly.

The leaders should be in a position to provide direction to the subordinates accordingly. The leader must also be actively be involved in the day to day running of the restaurant and not to be a bossy type. The entire leadership fraternity should focus on the attaining the objectives of the business enterprise (McNamara).

The leader also needs to be responsive to the needs of the subordinates at all times. In addition, he/she must commend hard working subordinates before others to encourage others to work harder. This can be done by a warding certificates or and tokens. It is the also the duty of the leader to command the employees and this cannot be achieved by merely being authoritative but charismatic. A leader who is charismatic will be in a position to attract and appeal to his/her subordinates. To summarize on leadership and management this table summarizes the differences between being a manager and a leader (Accel-Team, 2010).

According to Webb (2009) Motivation in work place involves workplace leadership, work environment and education in leadership Webb states that, “In many of today’s work environments, employees’ primary goal is quitting time and payday. Leaders priorities are power, control and maintaining the status quo. Getting the job done is down the list. Once needed skills are mastered and employees follow established procedures, the job offers little or no challenge.”

In work place education Webb states that, “Change equals challenge which is the source of motivation, workplace efficiency and job security. Because of fast changing trends and technology, work environments are evolving into continuous challenges. Responsibility is moving to the front line where it becomes the workers’ responsibility to find the best way to get the job done, not management alone. For this to succeed, the front line must have continuous learning opportunity, be in a continuous learning mode and be continuously adapting to new technology.”

The management also needs to provide employees with suitable working environment to be able to give their best (Motivation tools, 2010).

Command and Control Leadership – Problems are always out of control.

According to Buzzle and Deshmukh (2010) teamwork is very important for success to be achieved at any work place. According to buzzle “Mankind has been working in teams and groups since the primitive days of civilization. Hunting and wandering together in groups is an apt example of teamwork during those days. It is only in recent times, that it has been developed as a ‘concept’ in the management jargon.

  • T – Together.
  • E – Everyone.
  • A – Achieves.
  • M – More.

Buzzle further says that there are the importance of team work are numerous and they include fast learning; workload distribution; Healthy distribution; exploring creativity; healthy competition and increased speed of work.

Leadership, motivation and team working are very paramount

Write a brief report to Bob & Lloyd, explaining the financial information you have produced in task 7.

Balance Sheet

A balance sheet is a statement of a business financial position especially at the end of the year. Every transaction undertaken by the business has a direct impact on the bearing of the statement (Berry Tim, 2008). There generics for preparing balance sheet formats are commonly two. One format has been for this assignment. Preparing balance sheet after transaction may theoretically be sound but the task is cumbersome for the personnel preparing the document.

This is impractical because of valuation of the certain aspects of the balance sheet that compose the business may lead additional costs. In fact, preparation of balance sheet on transaction bases involves perusing other previous balance sheet statement done before making it less useful.

A useful approach that can be applied when preparing a balance sheet considers the following: at the beginning of the trading activities period account for the assets investments, liabilities and capital injected; prepare individual ledgers, these will contain multiple supporting accounts; the individual accounts are for every single asset, individual liability and every capital; individual transaction made affecting any aspect in the balance sheet (that is for any of the items of the capital, liabilities or assets) are then posted into appropriate accounts accordingly, the value of the item rises or reduces with regard to the transaction undertaken and how it has affected the account and then at the end of the trading period individual accounts are then costed out and values carried forward are then used in preparing the balance sheet for the accounting period just ended. Bob and Lloyd have set aside £1,250,000 and additional boost of £100,000 from the aunt legacy this is the capital meant to initiate the business, these totals to £1 350 000.

Since capital investment are meant for profit making. Profit is made and calculated when after all transaction have been made and expenses incurred in undertaking the transaction have been subtracted then what remains is. Profit is expected to be made from discounts for purchase, large scale purchases and difference in sales makes the highest source of profits among others. The profit expected to be made in the accounting period amounts to.

The liabilities are basically what the business entity owes others. Land rates accrued cater for annual levies made on which the business is set up (Fullen, 2005). These are mainly at the end of the year but are calculated at monthly bases and are to the City Hall in this in Cambridge area. Trading license caters are paid by the business to the City Hall legalizing the business operations. This is expected to amount up to.

Fixed assets are those assets that the business will exist for long time and are not intended for sale in the day to day business operations to make any profit. Acquisition of property investment encompasses the whole location of the site. Expenditure on this item is expected to be. Equipments are fittings in the business that are for operations (PlanMagic, 2010). Kitchen items include cutleries, potteries, cookers refrigeration and coolers among other kitchen wares. These are expected valued up to. Dining area furniture and fittings are expected to value up to *. Delivery motor cycles and vans are expected to be valued up to.

Depreciation of these assets reflects on wear and tear for the equipments. These are subtracted for the respective asset based on the projected figure. Cash that at hand/bank attend of the accounting period is expected to be *. Current assets make up those items lasts short time; their fluctuations depending on the transaction made be the businesses. Stocks are meant for the business supplies; more of the supplies are purchased soon after they deemed low thus depending on the patrons to the business.

They are to be monitored regularly to ensure that they don’t run out completely. A standard amount should be estimated to make sure on which the amount of stock to be purchased is based on (Writer Staff, 2009). At the end of trading period the value of stock remaining is posted in the balance sheet. In this case it’s projected to amount up to.

Cash Flow Statement forecast

This statement projects expenses made in the business operations as well as incomes received from the said operations. This monitors item flows. It may be integrated in the budgeting process. This enables business to understand how items and their transactions will affect the business in this case costed out at monthly bases. In this case this will help the business to be able to know times when their will be peak cash in flows as well as when cash is low.

Thus strategize to avoid cash short falls and address surplus.. Some of the positives from cash flow forecast can include: estimating worthiness of the business and its operations at any given moment and can help in balancing operations by setting relevant bench marks to guide transactions (Entrepreneurship, 2010). Capital at the injected by the investors mainly in direct cash form to cater for initializing and ensure the business operations will keep it afloat. At the start it will be and it is expected to fluctuate with operations as shown above. Cash sales are generated from the food sold to the patrons mainly both through those coming to the premise and to those whom deliveries are made. Supplies for stock to be made are based how and when an expected shortfall this to avoid any grinding scenario for the business then a constant should be ensured.

Monthly salaries for staff are paramount to a business. Items in the business due to handling and fragility may need some repair and maintenance works especially for machines that are continuously running (fridges, coolers and coolers in the kitchen as well as the motor cycles and vans among others).

Market target for the restaurant should be wide in range

The following report discusses human resource, marketing and finance. In so doing it highlights to Bob and Lloyd the relationship that exists between people, finance and marketing. This are very critical areas that both Bob and Lloyd will have to build expertise on especially considering that there long term objective is to expand their business beyond Cambridge.

Human resource

According to the website Answers.com, human resource is a collective term that refers to the workforce of an organization. In human resource management each individual in the workforce can be termed as human capital. For any organization there is a financial risk associated with investing in human capital. The purpose of human resource in an organization then is to develop a strategy (or strategies) for the organization which when applied will maximize the revenue generated from the organization’s human capital (or the workforce) while at the same time minimizing this financial risk (Entrepreneur, 2010).

Marketing

The marketing department in a firm is charged with the responsibility of generating turnover for the firm through the customer – firm exchange process. Marketing is the process through which an organization; firstly, determines which of its products or goods interest a given customer and secondly, the ideal strategy to apply in sales, communication and business development (York, 2010). Marketing comprises of three parts; the first part is to identify who your customers are, the second part is keeping these customers and final part is satisfying these customers.

Finance

For a given business enterprise there are financial resources that possess a financial value and it is critical that the enterprise allocates these recourses in a way that will maximize its wealth (JRank, 2010). The methodology used to achieve this is referred to as business or corporate finance. To carry out this allocation process in the right manner three decisions have to be made. One of these decisions is capital budgeting. Capital budgeting decisions would consider the resources that are available to the organization and then after select the ideal investment for the organization to venture into.

The suitable investments for an organization would be those that allow for returns which exceed the cost of capital. The financing decision is the second of the decisions to be made in as far as allocating the organization’s financial resources. The objective of the financing decision is to;

  • Amass every relevant and necessary resource for the organization.
  • Undertake every investment that yields returns in excess of its input cost.
  • Get funds from external investors and creditors at the lowest possible rate of return.

The dividend policy is the third and final decision that has to be made in allocating the financial resources of the organization. This decision addresses repayment of equity investors.The objective of the financing decision is to;

  • Retain the required resources acquired through external investors and creditors.
  • Create room for more investments.
