Summary - Out now

This free unit covers Topic 1.1 of the Edexcel specification and begins by introducing students to the purpose of business activity, and the concept of enterprise and entrepreneurship. The relationship between risk and reward is considered and the impact of managing these variables on business activity is analysed. The unit explores the reasons why new business ideas come about and how new ideas are developed. The unit concludes with a topic focussed on the dynamic nature of the business environment.

A range of contemporary case study examples are used throughout the unit to interest and engage students, reinforce theoretical concepts, and make the learning relevant. In the final topic students sit an assessment test comprising questions similar to those found on the GCSE exam paper.

What people say...

“
”

The A level units that we have purchased from PG Online are the first resources I have purchased that do what they say on the box. A complete scheme of work, nothing else required! At a time when the ICT/computing curriculum is in complete flux, these resources have been the rock we needed to hang on to. They have saved us many hours of work and have helped students (and staff) understand the curriculum. Thank you.

Steve Casey. Head of Computing, The Burgate School and Sixth Form
