INTRODUCTION
Employability skills can be defined as group of essential qualities that involves
improvement of knowledge base, expertise level and mindset. Furthermore, it results in providing
adequate opportunities for growth and development. Essential qualification is typically advised for
many job positions and hence, it is necessary for an individual's employment success (Sinclair and
et.al., 2014). Present report is based on Aldi which is a supermarket chain that is headquartered at
Germany. This report covers the way in which the selected organization develops its own
responsibilities and performance objectives. Along with this manner the use of motivation
techniques used by Aldi is also highlighted in the present research report.
TASK 1
1.1
Being the manager of Aldi, I am responsible to make sure that all the aim and objectives
developed by organization are addressed in the best possible manner. Another important
responsibility of a manager is to administer the operation of area for which he is responsible (Das,
2015). Thus, I am also responsible for carrying out smooth flow of all activities and business
practises within the organization. Apart from this, it is my responsibility to check whether the
efforts of employees and resources of organization are invested in the right direction or not. So,
being a manager, I need to developed performance objectives of employees which can support them
to deliver effective and satisfactory services (Guzman, 2013). In order to attain the objective, it is
essential to get practical knowledge of recruitment process and plan. It is required to set
responsibilities and in order to achieve goals (Olson, 2016). The duty of manager is not only
restricted to getting thing done by employees but it is also associated with raising their interest and
encouraging them to give their best towards success of organization. I have also developed some
smart objectives which are mentioned below as:
 For the first year, to get knowledge regarding the practices of HR I will perform various
activities that are related to the recruitment.
 In the second year, my objective is to become senior HR manager in order to achieve higher
growth and success in my professional life.
My performance objective in connection with responsibilities is mentioned below as:
 Working as a manager I am responsible for the providing assistance and coaching to all
employees. Therefore, my objective is to enhance the overall quality of coaching and
assistance which I provide to others.
 As a manager I am responsible to increase the volume of sales and profits within the

business enterprise by 20% in the next 24 months. My objective is to learn different tools
and techniques which can support me to develop more effective strategies for increasing
sales and profits.
 I am responsible to ensure that all aim and objectives of business are accomplished within
specific time. Therefore my objectives to learn different tools and techniques through which
I can motivate staff members.
 I am responsible for carrying out smooth flow of all operations and activities. My objective
is to ensure that no form of discrimination or partiality is carried out between staff
members.
 My responsibility is to lower down the rate of employee turnover by 25%. Therefore, i
have developed objective of learning new ways through which I can motivate workers and
lower down rate of turnover within next 12 months.
1.2
In order to achieve the objectives I am required to determine my own effectiveness. As it is
explained above, at initial level, being the manager in Aldi, I will focus on leadership skills to set a
vision in the minds of employees. It is because; they have to be clear with the goals of organization
so that planned objectives can be achieved (Xiaobing and Xin, 2013). Further, to assist employees
about their career aspirations, process remains effective by providing proper training to them as per
their capabilities. So, this will improve skills in the field of their work. With the plan to administer
operations of area of manager, this will be effective as it includes reporting and financial
requirements as well as personnel and legal induce that must be met on time. As above explained, in
order to attain the objective, I am required to work upon my communication skills and enhance the
same. This will support me to communicate the objectives and strategies to other members in more
effective manner. Apart from this, I am also required to focus upon modes such as self learning and
gain knowledge about different strategies of recruitment which can be used. It will help them to
make better analysis of the administrative process. In order to become a successful manager, it is
required by an individual to continue the process of lifelong learning (Sung, 2013). In terms of
carrying out evaluation of my own effectiveness, it can be stated that I am required to work upon
skills such as communication, leadership and team working in order to achieve all developed
objectives.
1.3
On the basis of above career plan, I have analysed that formed techniques can help me in
advancing my skills and increasing effectiveness in my work. I am good at communicating with

employees and in leadership but on the other side, my weakness is that I am not good at planning
and presentation. So presentation skills must be improved so that I can present my ideas and
strategies in more effective manner. In the present scenario, it has become very important for every
individual to focus on learning new things and acquiring skills in order to get better opportunities
for growth and development (Smale and Fowlie, 2015). Training can assist in increasing knowledge
about different aspects of job and it could result in the achievement of performance objectives. It
will help me to face issues and challenges at workplace in more effective manner. Further, meetings
or sessions can also generate positive results for bringing the achievable improvements. A manager,
is required to become aware of strengths and weakness of each and every individual at workplace
(Naik and Ambig, 2014).
There is one of the specific situations at workplace which is related to the communication
between the employees in the organisation as staff members are facing problem regarding lack of
coordination between them. It has been seen that it affects the work and they are not able to manage
their work. It creates the various issues in the different department and this can be solved with the
help of using different strategies of managing the conflicts at workplace (White, 2016).
It can be stated that there are wide range of strategies which can be used by me in order to
enhance the communication and coordination. For example more and more team work can be
promoted in order to bring coordination among people in the organization. Along with this,
communication in the organization can be improved by using more effective and direct channels of
communication. People working in team can be provided with training and development programs
so that they can work more effectively within team and help each others. Training will also provide
them with information regarding different tools and techniques of team working which can be used
for carrying out smooth flow of all operations and activities.
1.4
Motivation plays great role in terms of encouraging employees to perform better in
accomplishment of organization’s goals and objectives. There are two important theories which can
be implemented with an objective to motivate people working in organization. Being a manager of
Aldi, it is my key responsibility to motivate employees time to time so that they work effectively. Maslow's need hierarchy theory:- According to this theory, businesses can motivate staff
members by focusing upon their needs and satisfy the same. Here companies needs to

identify different needs of people working at different level of management and then take
corrective measures to satisfy the same (Devambatla and Nalla, 2015). As a manager
working in Aldi, I can make use of Maslow need Hierarchy theory to encourage and
motivate all staff members. The main and most important advantage of this theory is that it
will create sense of satisfaction among workers as their need and demand will be satisfied
by management in the best possible manner.
Hers berg's two factor theory:- This theory is able to emerge satisfaction for employees towards
job. Application of this theory leads to stimulate workers for their work as well increases potential
for better work. Further, the theory has two factors such as job satisfaction and motivation. In order
to motivate workers with the help of this theory, I will be required to focus on two important factors
which are hygiene and motivators.
Being the manager of Aldi, it is my responsibility to motivate employees time to time so that
they work effectively. Maslow's need hierarchy theory identifies the fulfilment of basic needs of
employees as it motivates them to perform well and includes safety needs and self-esteem needs
including achievement, self-respect, prestige and respect from others. Management can also adopt
Herzberg’s motivational theory which provides It focuses on improvement in the quality of
supervision (Devambatla and Nalla, 2015). The advantage of this theory is that level of job
satisfaction will be increased. With the consideration of these theories, company would be able to
understand factors that can improve the performance of employees. Providing incentives and
rewards defined by the concerned theory. As a manager I can also adopt another tool for enhancing
motivation level of employees i.e. appreciation. Timely appreciation will assist employee to work
with interest. It will also uplift their willingness to work and make them integrated towards the
duties and responsibilities of company (Yang and et.al., 2015). It also helps an individual in
working with full dedication and determination. If the supervision style is functional, It assist to the
ground of motivating staff and create healthy relationship among employee and employer. It will
result in achievement of goals and objectives as well as improvement in the performance of
employees of the company.
TASK 2
2.1
Being the manager of Aldi, it is to acknowledge that there are certain problems or issues
needs to resolved in the best possible manner. Major problem is that the communication is getting
deformed due to variety of factors (Shah, 2012). Communication is an important component of
organizational overall activities and business practises. It can be also stated that businesses cannot
attain their goals and objectives in situations where the process of communication developed is not

effective. The main and specific problem with communication is that people are not clear about the
objectives of organizations and the key strategy which they need to adopt for the satisfaction of the
same. Lack of team meetings and unclear roles, responsibilities are the main causes of the problem.
To deal with this problem, organization can start conducting the sessions where all
strategies, objectives and action plan can be effectively communicated to all workers. It is necessary
to deal with solution or identify the problem so that proper assessment could be made with the
elements of communication (Guzman and Choi, 2013). Afterwards, training sessions can be
provided to employees in organization by which they boost up the confidence among staff
members. Aldi can also encourage views and opinions of all its workers by using more open
channels of communications and leadership style such as democratic. The employees are required to
become aware of the importance of communication skills in their professional growth and
development. Thus, in this way, functional solution can be developed to eliminate the issues related
to poor communication skills (Sung, Loke and Ramos, 2013).
There are some of the techniques which are used to improvement in the communication in
organisation such as direct communication which is helpful in order to manage the coordination,
create the description of job as to provide the proper concept which helps the members to resolve
the issues. Further, there is requirement of the report which helps in eliminating the issues of
communication at workplace.
2.2
At different levels, various types of communication techniques can be adopted by the higher
authorities of Aldi. Structure of company is an important factors which needs to be taken into
consideration at the time of selection of communication style or medium. Higher authorities can
communicate with the members of board through formal sessions and meetings and it helps in
managing the professionalism. Further, the middle level managers can be informed by seminars and
conferences (Andrews and Russell, 2012). It is the most important and useful technique which is
commonly used by middle layer of management. The verbal and as well written strategies could be
proper while communicating with middle level managers. Further, with the help of mailing; both
formal and written form of communication can be carried out.
On the other side of this to deal with lower level staff, I can focus upon using notice board or
seminar or big conference where the information would be displayed in a suitable mode. Nowadays,
website of company is the most professional and trusted media channel to communicate with people
at various levels where it acknowledges a large number of people that can be informed at just one
occurrence (Haasler, 2013). Usually, the non-verbal or informal communication is not considered as

effective but in case of passing the information, it can be sometimes used by managers at
workplace. On the other hand, non-verbal communication is just based upon the personal
understanding of reading face or mind and concentrating on the manner of voice while saying.
Therefore, these are the variety of communication styles or media channels that could be adopted at
various level of organization.
For the purpose of communication there are different ways used by the management of the
company. At top level of management they can provide information with the help of conducting
meetings among the different members of organisation. In the middle level of management they are
using portal for the purpose of communication with their employees and the general level of the
organisation they use the e-mails and forward the messages for delivering the information to the
different employees.
Top management The problem and solution to this level of
management can be communicated with the help
of meetings and conferences
Middle level Emails can be used to communicate The
problem and solution to this level of
management
Lower management Notice boards and emails can be used to inform
people working in this level of management.
2.3
In the modern era, time management has become very important in overall growth and
success of companies as well as for individuals. The rationale behind this is that time
management helps in completion of all activities on time and become more productive.
Strategic planning solve out issues to manage uncertain changes occurs in Aldi. Being the
manager of Aldi, strategic decision making is implemented to achieve efficiency of the
organization. Time management strategy:- Effective time management strategies can be adopted
including logical and disciplined approach. First of all, it is very important for the selected
business enterprise focusing on diary management. Through this way, one can quickly

concentrate on noting down the important and tasks on priority with a clear focus on whole
day activities which can save a lot of wasted time and efforts. It can help in remembering
important activities that are needed to be done on priority basis so that the tasks would be
written and completed one by one (White, 2016). This strategy is effective because it helps a
person to become aware of different tools which can be used to manage time. The advantage
of this strategy is that it helps in completion of task and activities on time. At the same time,
the drawback of this strategy is that there is no standardise strategy which can be used by all
individuals. Segmentation of work:- It is a form of time management strategy which focuses on carrying
out one task at a time which means limit multi tasking so that work is divided and target is
easily achieved. It allows them to utilize their time in a proper and efficient way and they
can easily manage the burden of task. The list of time management strategies considers
breaking work in different parts. Accordingly, the time can be allocated to the particular task
and most importantly, time management should be proper and accurate. Thus, these are
effective time management strategies that can be implemented by the members of staff
(O’Connor and Bodicoat, 2015). This strategy is effective in situations such as work load or
work pressure. The advantage of this strategy is that it helps in delivering quality of work as
the entire work is divided into different segments. On the other side of this, drawback of this
strategy is that sometimes it can results in creating confusion regarding which task to be
completed on priority. To do list:- Segmentation generates idea to prepare lists of work to divide work according to
ability of workers. Therefore, manager of Aldi makes list for scheduling that what work
should be done in how much time. It considers as great strategy to strongly follow on
planning. Hence, company gets target in proper time to manage allocation of resources. It
leads to gain effective position in competitive market. The advantage of to do list is that it
helps in prioritising the work whereas it disadvantage is that it sometimes can create
mismanagement of time and resources.
 Prioritization:- Manager of Aldi implements action to prioritise by giving authority and
responsibility to specific worker. Thus, division of work under some manageable employees
proceed to step forward for strategic planning. It involves strategic planning recognition as
well reduction in uncertain dynamics. The advantage of this strategy is that it helps in
reducing the stress level and provides focus on each task. On the other hand, its
disadvantage is that it can results in challenging the productivity of an individual.
Being the manager of Aldi, effective time management strategies can be adopted for

carrying out task and activities on time. First of all, I am required to make use of strategies such as
maintaining and managing diary. Through this way, one can quickly concentrate on noting down the
important and tasks on priority with a clear focus on whole day activities which can save a lot of
wasted time and efforts. It can help in remembering important activities that are needed to be done
on priority basis so that the tasks would be written and completed one by one (White, 2016). After
this, another time management strategy which can be used is to avoid the procrastination. It is
equally important to ensure that people should get enough time to complete a task. At the same
point, to avoid procrastination, it is required to make people highly obligated and disciplined
towards their work. Further, it includes one task at a time which means limit multi tasking so that
work is divided and target is easily achieved. It allows them to utilize their time in a proper and
efficient way and they can easily manage the burden of task. The list of time management strategies
considers breaking work in different parts. Accordingly, the time can be allocated to the particular
task and most importantly, time management should be proper and accurate. Thus, these are
effective time management strategies that can be implemented by the members of staff (O’Connor
and Bodicoat, 2015).
TASK 3
3.1
As a manager of Aldi, to understand the function of people in the organization in achieving
goals, there is enormous requirement of concentration upon the Beblin team theory. It provides the
role that could be possibly played by the individuals within the team. The Beblin theory suggests
the nine roles of individuals, these are divided into three parts action oriented roles, people oriented
roles and thought oriented roles which are described below:
There is one main problems related to decrease sales of the company as it can be solved with
the help of Belbin's role so that as an evaluator I have to solve the problems with the help of each
other and clarification of the different roles and responsibilities of all the people at workplace.
Further, being a monitor to work in small teams so that work can be divided among the people who
are beneficial for the members and get different ideas in order to boost up the sales of the
organisation.
Action oriented roles is to complete the work or achieving the shared objectives, the role of
Georgina a colleague in the team work. I required focusing on the role of implementer who fulfil
the initiatives taken by the shapers, they take one step forward to achieve the shared goals by
inheriting the plans with team (Shah, 2014). Further to achieve the objective, the main function of
finisher is to eliminate the error or mistakes within the project and they carry out the project in

proper and efficient way.
Being the team member at Aldi, Silvana role is more of people oriented as he perform task
such as coordinator, team work and resource expert. Silvana people make sure that proper
teamwork must be maintained. Further, it is acknowledge that coordinator act as people who
support the coordination within the teamwork through providing opportunities to people working
with a team.
On the other side of this role of Shaade is to generate some useful knowledge and opinion to
complete the task in an appropriate mode. Their role is to make a functional decision after identify
all the situation and alternatives (Poon, 2012). In addition to this, the employees listen to each other
and there is proper exchange of ideas is carried out within each other. Thus, in this way, these are
some specific roles and responsibilities of people within the team and teamwork is completed which
are required to be fulfilled for the achievement of shared objectives. Further, the role of Yenni is to
investigate the resource which can be invested in the organization for managing the needs of the
customer.
In order to achieve the shared goals teams work together and to work in a team it creates
high level of motivation with collective actions. Further, in a team there is proper control over the
activities and work in a discipline manner which is effective and helps to achieve the goals of the
organisation.
3.2
Team dynamics refers to the psychological forces which has influences the direction of the
performance and behaviour of the team. Team in a company have to work with cohesiveness which
is an important aspect. Further, working at Aldi there is lack of cohesiveness as the members of
team are not sharing proper ideas and opinion which can be a limitation of the team. In addition to
this, there is no interaction regarding the values and management of the organisation.
Being the manager of Aldi, to get knowledge about team dynamics the Tuckman model can
be taken into specific consideration. It includes four stages. Forming, storming, norming and
performing these are explained within the Tuckman theory. At the initial stage of forming, the team
meets and learn about the challenges and opportunities and then agrees on objectives and begins to
tackles the work, here the team members started to become comfortable with each other so that
roles and responsibilities could be understood with respect to shared objectives (Durrani and Tariq,
2012). Further, the storming stage represents where people come into communication phase with
each other so that they share their ideas about the ways or techniques to complete the task. In this
stage disagreements and attribute clashes must be resolved before the team can progress out of this

stage. Ahead the stage of norming, all team members take responsibility and the aspiration of work
for the success of team objectives. It also highlights the intermediate phase where the level of
conflict or confusion is small. At last, the stage of performing is there which lays emphasis on all
about completing the task with focus on achieving common objectives. By this time, they are
motivated and knowledgeable so they able to deal with decision making process (Boahin and
Hofman, 2013). Thus, this theory provides the fine scenario about team dynamics at every stage. In
order to analyse the team dynamics, as a manager need to concentrate on size of business means
each department should have equal employees who manage their responsibilities as per the goals.
At Aldi, the team work of the employees is effective in nature as it provides motivation to
the employees and it is not required to be improved due to the effectiveness of the different aspects
of team roles at workplace.
Thus, it can be stated that the in a team all of the members must share their ideas and
opinions which is helpful in order to solve issues at workplace.
3.3
Being the manager, I have identified a work based problem which is that the requirement of
appropriate communication skills at workplace. In order to achieve team goals firstly identify the
strengths and weaknesses of the organization. For achieving team goals, use appropriate
communication where interaction with team members should be in a positive way. Further, to adopt
various roles and responsibilities to complete tasks and projects, work effectively in a changing
situation and understand how to approach handling clashes using a win orientation (Wels, 2013).
Moreover, there is use of self discipline which helps in managing the activities and that is in the
control of a person only. With the help of social media proper flow of communication can be made
that can assist in carrying out work in effective manner.
Time management is essential to achieve team goals in which work divided into different steps,
it helps to save time and completion of task. To achieve team objective, it is necessary to remove
barriers in process of development. In order to achieve goals, understand the relation between work
and the organizational strategy to analyse the performance. In this, there is proper setting of the
goals which are to be achieved in appropriate manner by the management of the organization.
Set and attain high standard goals and measure the progress towards accomplish objectives
and use interpersonal skills to influence to guide others toward a goal. Other than this it is clear that
the sense of respect is required to be created among the team members. It will helps in building the
healthy relationship between individual and team members. It includes delivery of quality job

performance on time means work with efforts and Thus, in this way, these alternatives could put
into practice for the achievements of objectives.
Motivation is another example in order to achieve the goals and motivate the employees for
managing the activities as per the requirement of the company and there is also disadvantage which
includes that if the motivation comes from outside sources which is extrinsic. Further, use of social
media helps in achieving the goals as it will create awareness among people in the market an
increase the volume of sales.
As per above discussed problem which is decrease in the sales of company and to overcome
this issue there are different roles are played by people in order to achieve goals. Further, there are
some of the techniques such as social media marketing through which the company can promote
their products to wide range of customers. Along with this, to motivate the employees so that they
can give their best efforts which is to be effective and provide better results in order to increase the
sales of company.
TASK 4
4.1
Being the manger of Aldi I need to focus on certain aspects related to the development of
solution to the problem. It is acknowledge that if communication is effective and interaction process
is proper between team members so that goals could be achieved. If there is any problem in the
communication process, it is impossible to deal with the clashes and most importantly sharing of
information could also become extremely ineffective (Mcpherson. 201). The tools and methods
including communication through social media where employees are allow sharing their views with
each other to make meaningful and work related issues. To attend conference as a team is an
excellent way to open up communication and discuss with the employees about the development of
organization. Communication must be two way so that it gives number of benefits by fetching this
approach. Putting things in writing is another alternative in which it makes sure that everyone
understands an order properly without any misunderstanding, this is especially true when dealing
with large number of employees. Meeting with employees on a regular basis, it improves their
internal communication throughout the entire organization as well as authorise employees and keep
them comfortable in their position. Sometimes it is useful to make internal language which
improves the level of communication between employees (Employability Skills, 2016). To
strengthen connections between managers and employees so this will help in rising internal
communication in an organization. Thus, this are the tools and methods for developing solution to

problems.
In order to evaluate the problem of lateness as it has been for a long time that employees are
getting late as compared to their actual working hours and this problem can be analyse with the help
of using different tools such as reporting of the performance and time of all the people to the
manager. It can be stated that this problem must be solved so that employees are able to be on time
and manage their work at organisation. The root cause of this problem is due to the old employees
as they get flexibility at workplace so that all the new employees are influenced from them.
In order to resolve the problem, it is required by businesses to observe the problem during
the initial stages or in first part. Furthermore, there are wide ranges of techniques which can be
taken into consideration for the same. For example benchmarking can be used to identify the key
issue or challenge which has been faced by Aldi. Here, the selected business enterprise can carry out
comparison between desired and actual performance. The problem can be identified by observing
the difference between actual and desired performance. Apart from this, techniques such as
performance reporting and SWOT analysis can be also taken into consideration. The use of
techniques such as benchmarking and SWOT analysis is mentioned below as:
Strengths
The key strength of lies within its quality of
products and services
The pricing strategy adopted is another
major strength of the selected business
enterprise
Weakness
Only few retail stores at international level
is major weakness of Aldi
The stores are small in size as compared to
other key players in retail industry
Opportunities
Expansion in market such as Asia and Africa
Investment in areas such as marketing and
promotion
Threat
Increasing competition within the retail
industry
Still not able to target people or customers
which seeks for “complete shopping
experience ”
On the other side of this, the use of techniques such as benchmarking also depicts the fact
that the selected business enterprise is not able to deliver adequate and appropriate results.
The objective of Aldi is to increase its market share but the selected company is not able to
attain the desired results.
After identification of problem, it can be stated the root o problem can be lack of
marketing and promotional activities. In order to overcome this problem, it is required by

Aldi to work upon its marketing activities. Further, a team of effective personnel’s can be
developed for carrying out aggressive marketing strategies and gain competitive advantage
over other market players.
Advantages of SWOT analyses for Aldi
 SWOT analyses helps Aldi in the strategic planning which can provide competitive
advantage of rival companies.
 It can helps to identify organisational capabilities which can help to attain their long term
goals and objectives.
 It can also helps in determination of weaknesses which can be improved by the business
organisation. In the context of Aldi, higher authorities can helps to knowing their
weaknesses such as employability skills which can be improved in the near future.
Disadvantages of SWOT analyses for Aldi
 It required technical skills and knowledge about the business and its operations. SWOT
analyses required more time which can also increase the cost of the company.
 This tools is focused on the four aspects strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
This tool is not provide mechanism and various factors which can be improved by Aldi.
 It provide a subjective analyses which is not help in to the decision making. Aldi required
reliable, relevant and appropriate information and data which can help to make their
decision effectively.
Force field analyses
This frameworks is an strategic tool which can help to a business organisation to understand
various changes at the personal and corporate level in order to attain organisational goals and
objectives. It looks at the forces that either driving movement towards targeted objectives or
blocking movement towards the objectives. Therefore, Aldi required that to use this approach in
order to increase productivity and efficiency within the business unit which can help to enhanced
profitability of their business. In this approach the higher authorities are required to make a
proposed plan for their business and also make a list of those factors which can support and those
factors which create barriers for the goals. After this, assign score for each force form 1 to 5
according to its effectiveness on its proposed plan. Force field analysis helps to evaluate the
different forces against the changes and helps to analyse the forces which impact the changes. It
helps in solving the problems related to the lateness of employees at workplace which provides a
particular idea considering the approach of decision making. With the help of this analysis the
management make the decisions as per the issues of lateness so that it helps in reducing the
problem.

Advantages of Force field analyses for Aldi
 It provides a visual summary of different factors which support and oppose Aldi proposed
plan.
 It can also help to collecting data and information which can help to make Aldi decision
making.
 In addition, field force analyses also described the evaluation and qualitative variables
which can impact positive on negative on the business operations of Aldi.
Disadvantages of Force field analyses for Aldi
 It required full involvement in order to provide data and information for an effective
analyses, because full participation not possible.
 Field force analyses doesn't prove the reliable and realistic picture for various supporting
and opposing factors.
4.2
A thoughtful and broad communication strategy is a vital component to any successful
change and improvement (White, 2016). To improve the communication the selected business
enterprise needs to conduct training sessions, meetings and seminars through that there is increase
in the level of confidence among employees. With today's technologies, there are various social
media and online community networks which have made communication easy and effortless. In an
organization, everyone should be specific with their words means say what you actually mean so
Illustration 1: Field force analyses

that this can contribute to easy communication. In order to deal with the issues related to
management, the company will be required to carry out certain changes within its overall
management. Furthermore, this can be done by the help of using model such as force field analysis
which was presented by Kurt lewin. As per this model, the desired state of Aldi is to attain higher
market share. In addition to this, the use of above mentioned model will also support in finding out
the key obstacles which can be arises at the time of carrying out changes to achieve certain results.
Fishbone approach
Fishbone can be defined as the cause and effect as it is a tool for the causes the problem for
the purpose of analyse the root cause of the problem. This analysis helps to manage the and see the
different reasons and to explore the problem of lateness in employees. It also helps in managing the
focus on the problem which creates the different solutions related to lateness at workplace. The use
of fishbone diagram has supported the selected business enterprise to analyze the main causes or
key reasons behind then problem. The main benefit associated with use of fishbone diagram is that
