chaining
A
The
Birmingham
Alliance
will
provide
Birmingham
with
one
of
Europe's
largest
regional
shopping
centres, right in the heart of the city. The Alliance, an initiative between three of the largest developers in
the country, all with extensive experience of urban regeneration schemes, will facilitate an £800m
investment
in
Birmingham.
This
will
regenerate
40
acres
of
the
city
centre
within
the
next
decade.
Planning permission is in place for the new scheme, which will be a short distance from existing prime
retail areas. The development will be well serviced by all forms of public transport, as well as providing
parking space for 3,200 cars.

B
The private-public partnership between Legal
& General and Bracknell Town Council will manage the
£500m
regeneration
of
the
town's
centre.
The
proposals,
which
are
awaiting
the
outcome
of
consultation with local residents, provide for approximately 102,000m2 of retail and leisure facilities, 200
residential
units and office accommodation. This
development
is
expected to
set
the standard
for town
centre regeneration schemes to come because of the way it integrates the business and community sectors.
It will also facilitate great improvements in the region's transport infrastructure.

C
Bluewater is a symbol of retail excellence, achieved through a unique combination of design, retail mix,
leisure,
catering
and
hospitality.
The
centre,
surrounded
by
parkland,
is
situated
in
the
country's
most
affluent
region.
Eleven
million
people,
with
a
combined
spending
power
predicted
to
exceed
a
record
5.5bn
pound,
live
within
60
minutes
of
the
centre.
The
developers
set
a
precedent
in
the
industry
by
getting the country's three best-known department stores to open very large branches within the centre, as
well as over 300 leading fashion and lifestyle stores.

D
Following its recent
stock market
success,
Lend
Lease is
now developing Overgate shopping centre in
Dundee. Construction is well under way, and with several of the country's best-known retailers already
secured,
Lend
Lease
is
promoting
the
centre
as
the
unrivalled
shopping
destination
of
the
region.
The
economic base of the area has improved continuously over the past decade, due to the fast expansion of
the biomedical
and service sectors. With an
estimated potential market
of 500,000 people, Overgate is
proving attractive to leading UK retailers.


Staff Appraisals
A director of the advertising agency owned by tycoon Bob Jacoby once grumbled that he wasn't enjoying
his work. Jacoby's reply was, 'I don't pay you good money to enjoy yourself. If you enjoy working here,
you should be paying me money.' Jacoby's sentiments used to be common.(0)____ Happily, things have
changed.
Most
organisations
now
undertake
regular
staff
appraisals,
at
which
employees
have
the
opportunity to discuss one- to-one with their line manager their ambitions and hopes, their strengths and
weaknesses, their achievements and their disasters. But it is worth remembering how new all this is, and
why.

For a start, appraising isn't something many managers do naturally of their own accord. They often find
appraisals
difficult
to
handle
and
have
to
be
made
to
carry
them
out.
Appraisal
systems
have
become
widespread partly as a result of employment legislation, but more particularly because companies have
learned that such assessments can work to their advantage. (8)......The company can improve its collective
performance by helping employees to improve their individual performance.

Managers who use appraisals need to approach them very carefully. They should bear in mind their own
experiences of being appraised when in junior positions, recalling which appraisals were helpful, which
were not, and why. In most cases, their own bosses did their homework, checking out the job specification,
the C.V
. and any previous reports. (9).........As a result, a lot of time would have been wasted, debating
exactly what had happened and when.

Being
prepared
and
appreciating
what
it
is
like
to
be
on
the
receiving
end
are,
indeed,
the
keys
to
successful appraising. It is important to begin an appraisal by giving members of staff a chance to express
their own views about their performance. (10) ......... Any information gained from colleagues is normally
given in a positive spirit, since nowadays everyone understands appraisals and appreciates that they are
carried out with good intentions.

The atmosphere in the appraisal should be one of positive and open discussion about how the employee is
performing in the company.(11).........Some individuals will feel unjustly criticised when their boss makes
comments on their performance. Others will respond fiercely to a critical assessment - although if they
defend themselves passionately, that is no bad thing!

Finally, it is important to regard appraisals as part of a continuing process.(12)......... Instead, they should
be followed up with friendly questions from time to time, making it clear to employees that new goals and
strategies suggested in them are to be taken seriously and are to be acted upon.

If these pieces of advice are followed, it is hoped that both the employees and the company as a whole
will benefit from the experience.
A However, managers must take great care in this respect.
B Only after that should managers put forward their own points, which are likely to include comments
collected from others in the organisation.
C They should not be forgotten as soon as they are over.

D
Like
many
other
aspects
of
free
enterprise,
appraisals
are
an
excellent
example
of
underlying
self-interest.
E Sometimes the appraiser goes too far the other way and fails to communicate problem areas and scope
for improvement.
