Section outline

  • Kia ora class, 

    As we continue our focus on business planning, remember that the business plan template is available on your Google Classroom under (Business Planning) topic, and it is your assessment template. You need to work through the template with me  and commit to completing your tasks on Google Classroom every week right to the end of this term.

    This week we will finalise the following sections of the business plan:

    • Market Research: 1) Finalise and submit your SWOT analysis. 2) Recap on market research methods and analysis. 
    • Marketing Mix: Recap on what we expect to see in your assessment in relation to your market day products.
    • People: We will focus on understanding organisational structures, chart of group members, and roles and responsibilities [new learning material attached in the resources section below].

    • Locate human resource needs for a business by recognising different organisational structures.

    Matauranga Māori

    We continue to be guided by the whakatāuki below carries a wisdom that we can apply to different aspects of our lives - socially, politically, and commercially. 

    "E tio te tūī , e ketekete te kākā, e korihi te kokako", it takes many instruments to make a symphony.

    For our learning focus this week on organisational structure, this Māori concept alerts us to the vital role people (employees) play in the success of any business. The analogy of the instruments playing together to make a symphony is closely connected to an essential part of any business practice: managing human resources. Because through proper allocation of roles and delegation of responsibilities, people work in harmony, similar to playing a symphony!
