UNIT 1: Organizing work
INTRODUCTION
This is Mia. She would like to start her own business and open a beauty salon. She has
been thinking about this for years and she feels now is the time to fulfil her wish.
She wants to open her salon in one of the biggest cities in Slovenia. She has not quite
decided in which city she will rent business premises. However, she knows for sure
that she wants to have her salon located in a busy street in the very centre. The
location of the salon is very important for business in order to attract as many clients
as possible. Preferably, Mia would like to be situated near a hotel, as this would
attract many new customers beside regular clients.
Being close to a hotel and having a lot of their guests may, however, mean that Mia
will have to use English a lot in order to communicate with foreigners. Not only all the
promotional leaflets, but also price lists and advertisements will have to be in English
as well.
That sounds like a lot of work, which is why she needs your help! She would like you to
become her business partner and be the manager of the salon. You will help her run the
salon and assist
her when speaking English, as Mia is not so good at foreign languages.
You can start by deciding on the name of the salon and creating a logotype!
Furthermore, decide where the salon is going to be located, fill in the salon’s identity
card and draw the logo on the board on the cover page.
