human, physical and technological resources can improve the
performance of the selected organisation (Asda).

Having a good recruitment and selection procedure will help the
business recruit the right people into the organisation. If the
business can do this there is more chance that they will be
successful, more efficient, satisfy customers and create more
profit.
Slide 19
Managing physical resources means that the buildings may well
be clean and in good order. If a shop is clean and in good order
more customers will want to shop there. If an office is clean and
in good order the employees may well feel more motivated. A well
kept building may well reduce accidents. It is also important that
a business uses good materials to make their products and they are
made to a good quality. If they are not, customers will complain
and not buy their goods anymore.
Slide 20
It is also important that businesses protect their own ideas
with patents and respect other peoples copyright to avoid being
sued. Having trained staff to be able to operate and maintain the
right computer packages and systems is vital to a business so that
it runs smoothly and customers remain satisfied.
