Task 1 (outcome P4)

Prepare a presentation to describe the functional areas in two contrasting businesses, name the functional area (remember a department may have several functions) and describe how it works in each business. Your presentation should be no more than 10 slides. Each slide should be between 2 and 4 sentences.

Task 2 (outcome P5)

Select one of the organisations you highlighted in task 1, prepare an information flow diagram to show how information flows within that organisation. Keep the information relatively simple using a typical operation scenario, use the conventions we have discussed in class.

Task 3 (outcome M2)

Continue your presentation from task 1, explain how the activity of different functions is linked in the two organisations and how the activity supports the attainment of the goals in these businesses. Explain why there are similarities in the way that the functions are linked and also why differences occur.

This part of your presentation should be no more than 10 slides.
