 Operating the uncertainty situation: on the basis of the situation is describing about
organisation face unwanted circumstances like lack of productivity lack of capital or lack

points through relevant sources. Mark and Spencer also having financial as well as
Human Resource Department where they map their situation before while dealing any

issue it prevails more negative outcomes to every business specially retail Industry.
According to that people interaction is more important retail business which was not

the operation activity are regulate from perform home where human resource and financial
