Share this content:

Students explore how the growth of Forbes Designer Clothing may have changed the challenges faced by entrepreneur Chris Forbes and the role he plays in the business.

In this activity, Sstudents read a short case study about Forbes Designer Clothing, a growing independent retailer, and analyse the challenges created by expansion. They consider issues such as delegation, maintaining customer service, motivating a larger workforce, coordinating finance and HR, and managing growth strategically. The activity then asks students to explain how Chris Forbes’s role may have changed from hands-on owner-manager to leader, delegator, mentor and higher-level decision-maker. Suggested answers support discussion and review in class afterwards.
