Term 3 Week 5 (17-23 Sep) Business Issue continued

Learning Intentions

• To explore business aims and objectives, and the conflicting interests of different stakeholders. 
• To explore how business impacts on society and how pressure groups and government can influence decisions.
• To explore why some businesses are run sustainably and 'environmentally', and some are not. 

• Can explain different business goals that influence an issue.
• Have raised awareness or advocated a change of practice, beyond school (eg article presentation, emails)
• Can describe different stakeholders in a business issue.

You should by now have looked through the resources on business issues (eg pollution, health) and chosen an issue that is of interest to you.

Research the winners and losers in this issue and the organisations that should protect the 'losers' and that are enabling the 'winners' to continue.

Try to understand exactly why the problem continues and what the costs are on all the people involved.
