This set of resources includes 5x PPTs, 4x word files and can be delivered over 8-10 lessons. There is quite a lot of theory in LO6, in the first powerpoint, we run through each category of influences briefly, and in the next 4 ppts we focus more on economic, legal and ethical influences as these are larger areas.
For economic influences, we start by looking at some shocking (for students) price changes in the last few decades before looking at how inflation is calculated and the implications on businesses and concumsers. We then go onto looking at interest rates and again, implications on consumers and businesses. Two essay exam style questions included on each topic - both with structure guidance and concise model answers to help students with peer assessments.
The second part to economic influences introduces learners to the stages in the business cycle and how each affects businesses and consumers, we also look at different types of tax and their implcications. Finally we look at exchange rates and their impacts. Two guided research tasks, a link to a kahoot quiz and box plenary to finish off with.
For legal factors, we start by watching a clip on discrimination at work before looking at the various types of legislation that exists to protect consumers and employees. A matching consolidation activity followed by a case study on an electronics manufacturer, students have the opportunity to consider whether complying with law outweighs not complying with law - 12 mark question with structure guidance and a model answer. Students can self or peer assess with the marking grids before engaging in a kahoot, finally ending with a box plenary.
For ethical factors, learners engage in provoking discussions. We start by looking at what ethics involves, we look at some real thought provoking case studies with Primark and Bangladesh’s factories, Apple and Foxconn’s sweatshops.
A 12 mark question with a concise model answer to peer assess with and a debate task acting for and against firms that are unethical.

We then look at the importance of leadership and communication in implementing strategy. Learners are then introduced to key concepts in organisational structures such as span of control and chain of command in engaging ways i.e chinese whispers to demonstrate the negatives of a long chain of command. We look at the pros and cons of tall, flat and matrix structures, then we move on onto centralised and decentralised structures. A short case study based on cartoon characters who have switched to decentralised - a few questions to contextualize the knowledge. Students acknowledge that orgnaisations can be strcutured in different ways such as by function, product or region.
In the second lesson, students have the opportunity to learn about the supermarket industry, in particular Morrisons struggle with the budget supermarkets which led to restructuring - a 16 mark question with structure guidance and a detailed model answer to help students with peer assessments, as well as making improvements to WWW and EBI. To spice it up a bit, a group matching task, where students have to create an organisational structure - answer sheet provided so teacher can look around whilst students work on it.
In the second double lesson, learners are introduced to critical path analysis, quite a tricky concept to understand at first for a lot of students - but not with this powerpoint. We start with an engaging starter to contextualise the topic, then we break down the elements of the critical path such as node, EST LFT, activities and durations so that we can see how it is built. Guidance is displayed step by step how to work out EST and LFT.
Students have opportunities to practice completing and calculating critical path analysis, including working out the EST and LFTs, float times and the critical path.
We then look at the advantages and disadvantages of CPA, followed by a concise case study on the usefulness of using CPA. Structure guidance and a concise model answer is given to help students improve their exam technique. A group task to construct a more challenging CPA and a kahoot quiz + box plenary to end with.
