Mathematics and Unit of Inquiry (2 cycles)

Over the next two cycles, Mathematics and Inquiry Homework have been
combined.
Essential Elements of a Successful Business.
Write a report on what you believe are the Essential Elements of a
Successful Business. Your report should give details of all the important
things which help a business to be successful and make a profit. You will
need to think about what you have learned from the experience in your pizza
company, BUT write about the important aspects of ANY type of business.
Over the next two cycles, you should focus on the following areas:
1. Financial planning - What should companies think about in order to
work out how to make a profit? (see attached financial statement)
Think about : costs of items like raw materials, wages, marketing, tools and
machinery etc., income from customers, how many products they are likely to
sell (You could include some calculations which show what a successful
business might spend, and the income from customers).
2. People and businesses - How does the behaviour of people affect a
business?
Think about: teamwork, responsibility, different peoples skills and
experience, training, effort, commitment, etc.
3. Business responsibilities - What responsibilities do businesses have
towards all the different groups of people who are affected by the
business? Think about: customers, workers, suppliers of materials or
people who live nearby.
This is a challenging homework task, and you will have to spend quite a lot of
time thinking about what youve been doing over the last few weeks. It is
also very important, because you will use these ideas to give a short
presentation about your company, at the end of this unit.
Please Note: This task will continue for two more cycles. Parts 1 and 2
have already been completed. You will now have two more cycles to
complete Parts 3, 4 and 5.
