John Lewis, one of the biggest names on the high street, is allowing us to look inside of how they work. However, there is more to this than meets the eye. A man named Andrew Murphy was in charge of something, that would hurt a lot of staff-This being redundancies. He had managed a couple of these before but not on this scale or level of complexity. The number to be made redundant wasn't decided but it was in the thousands. As i saw this i automatically thought that this would be difficult for him as he has never had to make this many redundancies before. In my point of view i think that making this many people redundant is a great idea as long as it saves the company money, as expected it would save million and millions of pounds. Although, it could mean that a lot of the staff now become more demoralised as they could think that more redundancies are coming and they could be next. The way they are going to do this is by replacing all the local call centres in the John Lewis s...

Persil, Coca Cola, Mini's. All of which, have made mistakes in the past which have affected them on a large scale. Did it all work out? Persil Power? Persil, were the biggest brand when it was created in 1909, it was unrivalled by other brands such as Ariel and Fairy.

And so began the SOAP WARS!!!! Persil were under serious pressure to create a new powdered detergent which would power through the competition. So they ended...

Uber? Or no Uber? In 2012, the former Uber chief executive - Ryan Graves, contacted the Transport for London's (TFL) twitter about its London license application, just over two weeks later they received their very first permit. All was going well however 6 years later the relationship has taken a turn for the worst. Considering Uber contacted the TFL via twitter, i feel as though back in 2012 it was easier to get a private taxi company permits mainly because they were able to contact over social media. Nowadays i think its not the case anymore, businesses are becoming more professional from what i know , so that would mean a more formal way of contacting the TFL regarding license applications and permits. Since 2013, it is said that the number of private vehicle lines operating in a congestion zone has risen quite substantially, as a typical Friday in 2013 would have an average of 60,000 cars and a typical Saturday in 2013 would have an average of 75,000 cars. Whereas in 2...
