  9. Human resources & retail management • The organising, selecting and training of personnel must be part of the retail planning process. Human assets are of the utmost importance to retail success, but often plans are made with little regard for the people who will carry them out. (Cox and Brittain 2001)

  10. Internal Marketing • Employees are the essential ingredient in increasing productivity, providing customer service and beating the competition. Thus, in addition to marketing activities targeted at external customers, firms are use internal marketing to attract, motivate and and retain qualified internal customers (employees) via satisfaction. (Dibb et al 2001)

  11. Importance of internal marketing • Employees are a crucial factor in determining the success of a business (Broady-Preston and Steel 2002) • satisfied employees makes all the difference (Arnett et al 2002)

  13. Internal marketing • Reasons for internal marketing • employees should…… • establish 2 way communication

  14. Internal structures • What type of structures • bureaucracy • autonomy

  15. Organisational design • Organisations have both a structure and a culture • organising both requires both DIFFERENTIATION & INTERGRATION • there is not a best way of doing either

  16. Organisational culture • Structure is firm; culture is soft • structure is clear; culture is intangible • structure is about systems to which people have to adapt; culture is about people who have norms and values in common • structure is about the distribution of authority; culture is about how people work together.(Torrington et al 2002)

  17. …continued • Organisation structure should be adaptable, with as few hierarchical levels as possible because fewer hierarchical levels means greater adaptability. Instead of permanent and unchangeable departments. • (Vranesevic et al 2002)

  18. Culture • The culture of an organisation can be defined as the impact of influences on it over time in forming its value and belief systems. (Cox and Brittain 2001) • Observed in the long term, one of the basic responsibilities and rights of the managing structures is creating company culture. Every company has some features which make its culture different from others. (Vranesevic et al 2002)

  19. Cultural analysis level • Observable behaviour • values • beliefs • eg Safeway changing culture

  20. HRM & Purchasing • Human resource management has an impact on all parts of a business/company • The focus now is on the purchasing department (Buyer)

  21. Purchasing • Undergone tremendous change • influenced by factors outside the organisation • companies forced to adapt the structure, roles and operations of their purchasing departments to operate in an external environment which is turbulent. (Humphreys, McIvor, McAleer 1998)

  22. The buyer • Role of the buyer • further responsibilities • skills in the procurement function • interpersonal skills • technical skills • roles in the purchasing/buying centre

  23. Next • Buyer qualities: • Manages • Delegates • Recruits • Motivates • Monitors

  24. Going back to the question…….. • Human resource management is VERY important for the purchasing department because…………………. • They work closely together with other parts of the business therefore they must strive for the same goal

  25. Over view/conclusion • How human resource management fits into the wider picture of RETAILING • Improving all aspects of the business, start internally first, then that will help to improve other parts of the business • add value internally • HR department do this
