A short case study on Slovakia’s government incentive of a flat tax which attracted many producers to relocate there, a 4 mark model answer for students to self assess with. A few more activities and a 10 mark question on assessing the UK as a production location, structure guidance is given and a model answer for students to look at, to build those examination skills!

This resource can be used as a revision lesson for GCSE Business. The aim is to help consolidate key terms by playing a game. This could be used for remote learning if the document is sent out to players but ideally it would be in class with the cards cut out in a deck. 1 In pairs or teams - have at least one describer and one or more guessers 2 Roll the dice and look at the colour the dice lands on 3 The describer picks a card from the deck and demonstrates the key term to the guesser 4 The guesser has 30 seconds to guess the word 5 If correct, team goes again, if not, the next team rolls the dice 6 First team round the board three times wins (Note: the game can be adapted i.e. if no dice, you can just go in order i.e. first card marketing, then external influences etc.) Thank you
