This lesson introduces learners to the various stakeholders and how they can conflict with shareholders priorities. We start by looking at the different types of stakeholders involved in a business, we then look at their key interests, followed by evaluating the most important interest for each stakeholders. Once students know the interests well, we can start to look at how stakeholders might conflict with each other - a few examples given here. We read a case study on Unilever, students prepare presentations on whether they should focus on shareholders or stakeholders, this is in the form of a 20 mark question so students could answer it after the presentation, or for homework. Structure guidance and concise points that would be the main focus of the answer is provided. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to recent protectionism that has taken place. We start by looking at the purpose of protectionism then look at the recent example of Donald Trump imposing tariffs on China, and then another example of Obama imposing tariffs on Chinese tyres, a concise case study on this with a 4 mark question, structure guidance and a model answer for students to peer assess with. We then go onto the short and long term effects of protectionism with a 10 mark question, answers included. We finish off with a box plenary and a homework research task.

This bundle could be delivered over 3 lessons and introduces learners to return on capital employed and gearing, whilst consolidating ratios from theme 2 such as current ratio, acid test, gross and net profit margins. Students have a chance to consider the limitations of ratios also. We start by demonstrating simple broken down examples of roce and gearing, as well as the other ratios with a range of consolidation activities. We also have a group task where students are given accounts of a major retailer, and they have to report back on how well the company has been performing by carrying out all the ratio analysis. Two kahoot quizzes with links provided and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This bundle of lessons can be spread over 2-3 lessons and learners are introduced to the two financial statements. We start by breaking down an example of a Pizza shop’s revenues, costs and profit to show how the income statement is built step by step, students consolidate with an activity of creating an income statement for Ian Beale’s fish and chip shop. Answers provided to self assess. We then go on to the statement of financial position or balance sheet, before looking at some financial information and carrying out calculations (which students would’ve learned in year 12 theme 2 such as current ratio), answers provided to self assess, next, using these answers students complete a 12 mark written question - the type that appears in paper 3, so it’s a good idea to make sure students are familiar with this. Structure guidance and concise model answer provided to develop exam technique, a kahoot quiz and box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the interaction of supply and demand and consolidated on the previous lessons of supply and demand. We start by looking at how to construct a fully labelled diagram - animated so students can see how to draw it in their exam. We look at a few different examples where the supply and demand shifts to a new market equilibrium. A selection of short activities to consolidate the knowledge Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the factors which make a firm globally competitive. We start by looking at the impact of changes in exchange rates and how this can affect the competitiveness of firms even though it is out of their control. We then move onto factors that are more in their contrl such as differentiation and trying to gain low cost competitiveness through economies of scale. A concise case study on China’s toy factories as they manufacture most of the toys in the world, students answer a question on how their competitiveness might affect UK firms in the same industry, and to what extent. Structure guidance and concise model answer to aid in peer assessing. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to the important concept of specialisation and divison of labour, we start with a game where students produce a paper aeroplane, with and without specialisation to introduce the concept of efficiency when speciailising. We talk about the roots of this concept from Adam Smith and some real life examples of long supply chains yet the most efficient. After looking at divison of labour and functions of money, students have the opportunity to attempt a specialisation question (on a macro level rather than micro but same concept), structure guidance and a concise model answer is provided before we finish with a box plenary. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to public goods, what they are with examples of them, we then consider the free rider problem and why the private sector doesn’t offer public goods. We then look at information gaps and examples of how this could lead to market failure through witholding information and moral hazard. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This lesson introduces learners to consumer and producer surplus, we start with engaging examples to stimulate learners into the topic, we then look at what it actually is with broken down, step-by-step animated diagrams, to make it easy for students to understand, and for the teacher to deliver. We look at changes that might cause consumer and producer surplus to increase or decrease, as well as discussing society surplus with some consolidation activities. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the final two components of aggregate demand - government expenditure (G) and net trade (exports - imports). We start with a recap on investment before looking at different categories of government spending. We then look at some recent examples of how much government has spent as well as the 2021 budget by Rishi Sunak. Students can see the difference between a budget deficit and the national debt. A short exam style question on the increase in tax allowance with a model answer on the following slide. In the second lesson, we look at net trade and factors which affect the UKs net trade balance. An 8 mark question with a model answer for students to look at for improvements to own answers. We finish with a true and false quiz and a box plenary. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to supply and the factors which influence it. We start by looking at why suppliers supply, once students grasp that it is for the incentive of profit we look at examples which can affect supply. We then go on to illustrate these impacts on diagrams with shifts in the supply curve - all broken down so students can grasp it quickly. We then have a four mark question with a case study on the supply of houses, guidance on the assessment objectives required and concise model answers for students to look at when peer assessing. Two links to kahoot quizzes and a box plenary to finish with. Colourful, concise and engaging slides! Thank you

This double lesson introduces learners to the variety of interventions that governments use to intervene in markets. We start by recapping indirect taxes and subsidies before looking at examples of minimum and maximum prices - students contextualise this by looking at alcohol minimum prices and tuition fee caps in the UK - a short question with a model answer on this too. We then look at pollution permits, state provision of public goods, provision of information and regulation as other ways governments can interevene in markets.
