According to a more descriptive and professional definition, Auction is a public or private sale (In many cases) in which the sellers makes a deal with the bidder that offers highest amount for the respective stuff. Some experts also consider that auction can be called a system for selling since it is holds a well-structured format. According to this theory or concept, the definition for auction is, ‘It is a system, in which competitive bids from potential buyers are placed on stuffs that is put for sale. The selling item can be a property or even goods. The goods are handed over to the highest bidder in exchange of the price that he previously offered for the very same item.

Usually, sellers pays the fees for listing the item in particular auction and buyer pays entry fees o get the right to bid from the auctioneer. Once the deal has been finalized or bids have put on the item, seller have no right to refuse to pay the fees in any terms, not even if the item is not sold at a desired price or revenue. Most of the modern auctioneers make a legal contract with both sellers and bidders so they are not caught in such situation where buyer and sellers make a deal and refuse to pay fees for their services or intermediation, whatever it is called. 
  All the concepts that are related to auction in any way are included in Auction theory. Like any other theories, it explains all terms related to the field while making sure that the description is much likely related to the main subject.

The 21st century organisation will be an ideas/imagination business. Within this business, people have moved centre stage in being the only true value unlockers and wealth creators as the source of imagination, creativity, innovation, and invention. 
  
   
  
  Given people’s centrality to the continued viability of organisational performance and success in the present and future, knowing the state of their People Excellence is critical for every organisation. If there is on top of this criticality a global war for top talent, then ‘critical’ turns into mission-critical.

They flourish and thrive. 
   
  People excellence sits at the confluence of thriving employees, delighted stakeholders, and a viable organisation. When organisations become excellent at helping their people to flourish, they in turn unlock real, amazing value and create worthy, lasting results to the delight of stakeholders, ensuring the organisation’s viability. 
  
  This is why knowing the state of an organisation’s people excellence, as well as becoming smarter at people excellence, has become mission-critical for every organisation.
