Part A
This was found out that one was able to gather a lot of knowledge regarding the principle
of Treaty of Waitangi and its application during the internship at Root Restaurants in New
Zealand. Most of the aspects of the Treaty are used in the business practices as observed by the
interns for continuing the business in a more ethical and smooth manner. According to this
principle, the partnership, participation and protection attributes should be present between the
parties for reflecting the good faith and the reasonability actions. Therefore this can be said that
the intern should implement this principle for ensuring the mutual benefit of the intern as well as
the organization. This theoretical principle would help to protect people’s right to get involved in
the business.
One of the major keys towards business success is the communication skills that can only
be improved by the internship as the interns would be trained on how to maintain effective
communication with the clients. This is found out by the critical analysis that in most of the cases
the formal conversation continues from top to bottom and from bottom to top. The
communication mostly takes place in such an order that the directors convey the message to the
senior manager and then the manager conveys it to other mediators and then to other employees.
The informal communication allows direct conversations between the managers and the
employees.
Root restaurant has conducted an internship in a very efficient manner as the interns were
treated how to remain loyal for the job position in such a restaurant. The interns are also treated
to focus on the industry values for maximizing the organizational values and the reputation in the
market. The Root restaurant also reflects the sensitive approach towards the internship
requirements and this was also found out that the Root restaurant’s manager also put good faith

as per the current trends of the business. In my internship, this developed my improvement skills
in the communication areas, leadership strategies and others responding to the market changes
and the market trends in the restaurant industry.
The internship experience is required as it usually helped any employees of the
restaurant to deal with the hard situations. The interns are able to deal with such situations by
reflecting the maturity level. This is also found out that Root restaurant was lacking behind based
on the adoption of the present business trends of sales and the business performances. This could
be noted that Root restaurant are required to adopt the present trends of the business market as
the customers usually complain about the taste of the restaurant’s food. Thus this is
recommended for the Root restaurant to utilize the feedbacks of the customers for providing
efficient services to the customers and resolving such issues in the restaurant.
