What's hot on the Business Blog
Specific Exam Board Support:
 |
Making Finance Fun 2012 - Kinaethetic Cash Flow This activity is a more kinaesthetic approach to use when teaching cash flow forecasting. The resource is best used as a main activity for consolidating the learning on producing a cash flow forecast. Best carried out in groups of 3 students, each group is given a copy of the business information, a cash flow forecasting template and a pack of numbers. The students simply need to use the business information to ascertain where each of the numbers goes on the cash flow template. |
 |
Step up to AQA A2 Business Studies (BUSS3) A comprehensive case study on a fictitious company called Gambles - a manufacturer of pies. Students are asked to work for a business consultancy called Omega Strategy, which has been asked to advise on the turnaround strategic options available to the family-owned Gambles business. A series of analytical and evaluative tasks can be undertaken on the exhibits that are provided to help students assess the options for the business. |
 |
Making Finance Fun 2012 - The Accountant The accountant is a multi-purpose learning strategy for delivering profit and loss accounts. The activity can be done individually or in pairs however we believe that it works best done in small groups. The resources involves students acting as accountants for a fictional accountancy firm. They need to work together and produce a profit and loss account for a pizza restaurant and takeaway called, Pete’s ‘A’ Place. |
 |
AQA BUSS2 - Headhunter Recruitment This activity allows students to get involved in a simulated recruitment case study. Students are placed as a team belonging to the best headhunting company in the UK. A high street clothing chain needs a new team of senior executives to rescue their reputation and sales after some terrible publicity. Students are presented with applicant overviews and notes of 10 potential candidates. Which three candidates should be chosen to form the new executive team - and why? |
 |
Pie Factory is a fun whole class game that helps students develop their understanding of revenues, costs and profits. Students are organised into teams who take on the management roles at a pie factory. Each round decisions are taken about how many pies to produce and the prices at which they will be offered. The teacher determines which team gets various orders and the students have to calculate their costs, revenues and profit for orders received. The team that makes the highest profit at the end of the game wins! |
 |
TBBLE - Paper Chain Paragraphs This activity is intended to help students develop their ability to write persuasive, well-structured arguments in response to more complex business exam questions. It encourages the use of connectives to fully develop a point. It also has kinaesthetic elements and some opportunity for peer assessment. Students can be given support by being given a structure to follow during the activity, or they can be challenged by being given very little structure. |
 |
BTEC First Business Unit 3 - Handling Customer Complaints This resource allows students to consider how different types of customer complaints arise and how they can be handled. There are two case studies for students to use in this resource - an airport and a theme park. Working in groups, students examine different types of customer complaint received by the airport or the theme park. Amongst the points that students consider are: - How could each complaint be registered? - How would the method of registration affect the handling of the complaint? - Who is ultimately responsibe for resolving the complaint? |
 |
Making Finance Fun - Ratio Formula Cards This is an excellent activity for consolidating learning on ratios and ratio analysis. It is a highly kinaesthetic activity and very good for facilitating whole class discussion. At the front of the class, the cards are spread out on a spare table. Shout out a ratio and ask a volunteer to come to the front, select the correct card and physically make the ratio by sticking it on the board in the correct order. The class need to say whether or not they agree or disagree with the construction. |
 |
This activity is designed to introduce students to motivation theory whilst also building their application, analysis and evaluation skills. |
