Section A
Question 1
Transformational theory
Transactional theory
Trait theory
Contingency theory
The delegation of authority theory states that the administration should build an
environment in which workers have a variety of choices and the right to make their own
decisions.
"Handing over roles to others was a big relief for me," says Diane Owen, who has
allowed her staff more control and control. Owen's staff have a variety of job options. In
favor of collegiality and informality, formal partnerships are avoided. There is no simple
division of roles in this situation, because everybody knows what they are capable of.

Important decisions are taken at Owen Healthcare by working parties, making team
training official. They identify their concerns, identify and prioritize objectives and the
process of meeting these objectives, and assign a budget.
Question 2
As one of the most essential elements Diana used open communication. Successful
coordination is essential for sustaining employee morality and commitment at all levels
during times of leadership development and day-to-day activity. Patterns, procedures and
timeliness affect communication. Communication is a fundamental feature of any complex
corporate system and is without question one of its main facets (TQM).
Open coordination in staff confidence maintenance. Staff and management may shape
unified teams by good coordination, reducing needless rivalry and encouraging staff to work
together. Owen's care centers need to consider these quality management concepts before
applying quality control procedures.
For instance, for particular purposes that can increase the efficiency of an organism, a
methodological approach explains the discovery, study and management of a series of linked
processes. Quality staff are successfully qualified in these situations and form temporary
teams to identify and address challenges and issues that require the company to shut down if
they are not resolved and they form the foundation of the company.
Diane stresses that each department and individual is accountable for their actions in
this case study and empowers them to deal with problems and concerns when they emerge.
Encourage staff to assess their own goals and preferences for their performance and to make
the adjustments they need to enhance their workflow. Enhance employee trust and
stakeholder confidence by recognition of achievements and best performances.

partnering and other issues. It is said. She switched to other trustworthy associates and
gradually changed the company's management. They were empowered and influenced by
Diana. This raises workers' value for the company and the company. The management style
and projects of Diane Owen have paid off. Profits have started to increase and 90% of Owen's
customers have re-opened work.
Section B
Question 1
In this situation, the Perkins said that they had to maintain the property of the family,
where they both serve as executives at the moment. When this business was founded, both
partners were already optometrists. In essence, Specsavers is a family company that holds
relevant family traditions, seeking as much as possible to uphold those ideals. The group is
aiming to extend its operations so that new businesses are regularly opened and thus highly
skilled employees are required.
The department stores use a "joint partnership" arrangement. Specsavers stores run
under the principle that "all Specsavers customers are our customers," unlike many franchised
businesses. This means that the same service is provided to a customer from one of the
Specsavers branches. This arrangement varies from the own actions of Specsavers in the
franchising firm and from the sale under the franchise agreement of goods and services.
Mostly each business branch pf the company has its own franchise company that is
consistent with foreign principles. This working model concentrates on the outcomes and
hard work, as everyone dies for their own work. At least one optician must be able to verify
any store's vision. This represents a huge benefit for the reputation of the network and helps
to evolve as a company leader.
Because the majority of Specsavers retail stores have a hierarchical structure, the top
of the hierarchy has the greatest control. This style of command and structure will slow down
and distort any knowledge that passes over the chain. There are many layers and areas of
impact in a high-rise building, for example. The correspondence is generally slow, and the
precision of the details cannot be assured, because of the vast number of intermediaries. In
order for the retail as well as the clinical side to provide a healthy relationship, Specsavers
should apply direct contact lines. A flatter system with less layers and more span of control is
recommended.

Question 2
A job description is a document that outlines the roles and duties of a specific role.
This paper outlines all of the roles and obligations, as well as the working conditions. During
the selection process, the job description aids in determining the duties of the position and
selecting the right choice for it. Job standards assist HR departments with planning and
curriculum development.
HR experts look at job descriptions to determine the most relevant qualities that
employers need so that these subjects can be covered during preparation. Training may be
required for specific occupations, departments, or organizations. Human resources policies
and practices can assist in determining which types of preparation are required for specific
applicants.
• Other improvements to the message's content can obviate the need for the context.
Employees with specialized experience in a specific field are essential for Specsavers,
as they are for every other business. This is required in order to keep individuals accountable
for their acts. As a result, the organization profits from delivering excellent support to each
client and assisting them in meeting all of their demands, allowing them to accomplish all of
their objectives. Specsavers does this by creating a job listing that allows suitable applicants
to be chosen for each position based on the appropriate credentials and entrance
requirements.
Both specialized employees are dispatched to this agency to assist in meeting the
needs of their clients, thus strengthening the organisation and instilling high levels of
confidence in their customers.

Question 3
The acronyms for SWOT are Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats,
respectively. A SWOT analysis is a technique for assessing a company's productivity and
developing growth strategies. Internal and external considerations, as well as present and
prospective prospects, are all included in the SWOT review.
SWOT analysis is a tool for presenting a balanced, evidence-based, and data-driven
picture of an agency's, initiative's, or field's strengths and weaknesses. Through removing
preconceived assumptions or grey areas and focusing only on evidence, an organisation may
ensure the study's validity.
There are some drawbacks of using Specsaver. One of them is permormance.
Scepsaver operates at a high degree of productivity. The company's founders are both
optometrists. They are well-versed in their profession and hold a host of certifications. The
owners have a wealth of expertise in the optical industry. For eg, one has informed and
educated a variety of contact lens classes. The new managers have been named Optical
Company of the Year and Best Practice Mentor of the Year. This is just one indication of the
workers' candor. The owner of the business, other staff, and vendors are all in the same boat.
Specsavers' financial condition is stable. Sales have plateaued, but average
productivity has increased. The company's offices and buildings are brand new, cutting-edge,
and practical. The employees are highly motivated and well-trained.
The company's global and regional presence, profitability, strong financial
performance, appealing brand profile, flawless partnership with founders, and functional
mission division are all assets.
