prepare the budget for each field in building them with different situation.
Hiring the right person:- FSB need to require the right person with different approaches of
recruitment and selection for fulfilling the right vacant position in business of school. As it is

2. Analysis the area of importance to the client
The analysis look about what impact these factor may have in their organization-
Suppliers- Starting the business have to buy the raw material and finished goods which is
directly purchased by consumers. FSB developed services rather than goods, but they still need
some materials like computer, software and hardware and other schools suppliers (Lee and Seo,
2018). The situation is that without raw materials and other goods and services the institution
cannot work. In past decades, it was very common to choose the suppliers for business of schools
in books or other essential items with same region of one country. In today time there are to
many of competitors and the supply chain helps to guarantee the goods supply, have agreements
of goods and services and also reduces the costs. Hence, handling the suppliers chain is quietly
important for achieving the goals or objective for FSB.

Understanding customer leads:- Schools of business should need to identify the customer
needs and demographic according to their age, income, location and many more. For developing
FSB they can advertise their channels for making more customer in their education system. It is
private institution they have to generate more students because government schools are being
opened in market and more other private institution are developed more with technology. As
they have to also listen their students in making customer. In understanding customer trends they
have to listen over their students and must take opinion and suggestion about what should be
changes in education system as the government has provided many laws and different system for
developing their students skills and increases their knowledge in every field and also make them
capabilities for working in every field.
Government regulation :- Government is generally is part of external factor that analysis
competition of business of schools. These regulation depends upon the banking,
telecommunication and also have positive impact on both consumer and business (Nema and
Kasliwal, 2018). They provide public with high number of safety in education and make them
more attentive about the education system. Regulation are little risk for business but here FSB
must be complied with benefits, tax requirement and state payroll that can be present challenges
that are faced by education system. Government regulation sometime can be burden for business
ad however dealing with these regulation it can also create the size of organization. They have
provided many laws for private students for reducing the load of study at higher level or at
lowest level. According to this many of student behaviour are being changed while taking their
studies and other circular activities. In private institution that have provided the online class and
have some projector for their students and best software for making more upgrades about today's
world.

institutions are rising by offering various facilities and modes of study and advanced teaching

disrespect teachers. This is the major challenge face by the teacher. Family factor also influence
this. Separation of the parents influence this. Student affects a lot from all this. They do not able
to concentrate on their studies because of the family problems. Poverty is also the reason of
change in the behaviour of the students. Fairfield school should discuss these problems with the
parents of the students and ask them to help their child and provide good environment to child at
home.

in absenteeism. School should help their students to be fit. They can increase the physical
activity of the children and should educate their students about the importance of physical
