This lesson introduces learners to what factors start ups might consider when choosing a location to start up, we then look at key factors that determine the location such as proximity to customers, labour, transport and more. A 3 mark question with a model answer to peer assess. Finally an engaging group activity where a case study is given and some financial data about different locations, students then work together to calculate and discuss which location is the best to start up. Whole class discussion on the ultimate location. Students can write down their conclusions.
A ranking activity where students have to consider various factors that affect location, and then for different types of businesses, state which factors are the most important when deciding to locate.

We also look at the limitations of using GDP as a measure of standard of living - a 12 mark question with a concise model answer for students to look before peer assessing and making improvements to WWW and EBI.
Finally, we look at happiness and how it is really included when measuring how well an economy is performing, we look at the 7 factors that determine happiness as identified by Laynard. Purchasing power is compared with a great example from spending in India compared to the UK.

We then go on to look at cell production, productivity and efficiency, each with their formulas. We look at a case study of a chocolate manufacturer that uses batch production, a 10 mark question based on this, with structure guidance and model answer provided for students to peer assess and make improvements. A second 10 marker is included on lean production on a different chocolate manufacturer, again with guidance and a model answer - a good day for chocolate lovers!

This lesson introduces learners to the value of a SWOT analysis. We start by looking at what a SWOT analysis is and the types of questions we need to ask ourselves to find out our SWOT.

We then go on to look at a concise case study on BHP the large mining company, students can work in pairs or a group to assess the companies position using SWOT, the outcomes of this can be used to answer a 9 mark question based on the case study. A concise model answer is included for students to peer assess. We finish with a kahoot quiz!

This set of resources includes 2x PPTs and 4x word documents consisting of exam practice and activities - this can be delivered over at least 4 lessons.
In the first double lesson, we start off by looking at an overview of developing and implementing strategy, including ways to implement strategy effective. 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.

A good set of examples and questions for ARR, with answers popping in to see how we get to the end figure. We then go on to look at NPV with a few more examples and questions.
Two kahoot quizzes with links to further consolidate knowledge of how to calculate payback, ARR and NPV. We look at what else needs to be taken into consideration when making investment decisions such as non-financial, risk, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.
