Report
ASSIGNMENT 1: Jane Law, Area Manager of Modern Clothing, the group of clothes shop for which you work, is concerned that the shop you manage has run at a loss for the last two months and asks you to write a report for her explaining the reasons for this. She also asked if you have any suggestions for reversing this trend. Rapid turnover of young inexperienced staff; the opening of a rival store selling cut price items in a better trading position than yours; the recent designation of the road outside your shop as a no parking zone; these are some of the reasons which you may wish to consider for the loss making.
Write your report.
