1. Understanding Economic Activity: Business, Profession, and Employment

You will learn the difference between business (profit-based activity), profession (expert skill-based service), and employment. You will learn to distinguish between business (profit-based activity), professions (expert skills-based service), and employment (work performed under someone else for a salary).

These categories will help you classify actual examples, such as doctors and lawyers, factory workers and shopkeepers.

The purpose of this worksheet is to help you understand that everyone's contribution to the economy is different.

Learning Outcomes: You will understand that an employee puts in effort, a professional applies knowledge, and a business person is willing to take risks.

Mark's tip: Create a three-column, neat table. Give one reason for every classification.

2. Balance Profit and Responsibility: Business Objectives

You will visit or contact at least five local businesspeople or shopkeepers. You ask them about their main goals: growth, profit, customer satisfaction, or personal recognition.

These will be classified under the Economic, Personal, and Social objectives.

As an example:

• Profit-driven grocery shops = economic objective
• A pharmacy that focuses on public health = a social objective
• A boutique aiming for brand name = Personal objective

Learning Outcomes: Business is not only about money. It's also about relationships and your reputation. Mark's tip: Use authentic samples rather than copied ones. Examiners prefer the authenticity of data.

3. Everyday Life: Identifying Industry and Commerce

This project will help you to understand the division of business activities into two main categories: Industry (production and distribution of goods) or Commerce (exchange and distribution of goods).

Observe five different business activities and further classify them into primary, secondary, or tertiary industries.

Example:

• Farming is the primary industry
• Textile factory as a secondary industry
• Banking - Tertiary Activity

Learning Outcomes: You will understand that the coordination of these sectors is essential to every economy.

Mark's Tip: Create a flow chart that shows Industry, Commerce, Trade, and Auxiliaries of Trade.

4. The types of business ownership and challenges in expansion

You can meet sole traders and small business owners to discuss their experiences. You can ask if the shop owner would like to convert their business into a partnership.

Learning Outcomes: You will understand why the size, control, and finances of a business are important factors in determining its form.

Mark's Tip: Write clearly the points under "Advantages and Disadvantages."

Learning Outcomes: Delivery time and costs are affected by the transport modes, and this impacts pricing and customer satisfaction.

Mark's Tip: Include a "Details of Advantages and Disadvantages for Each Transport Mode" table.
