Business Yr 11 into 12 Transition Work

The following will help you with your first assignment.

Find out the difference between the private and public sector.

List 5 businesses or organisations in each sector.

Pick a large business that is based in the UK ie Tesco.

Using its website, company annual report and other research write a report on the business.

In your report you should 

• Identify the features of the business –explain its history, what its activities are, where is it based, how many stores it has, how many people it employs, who owns the business.

• Find out its aims and objectives. The company report might help you here.

• Try and find examples to illustrate each aim. i.e. if one aim is to make a profit find out their profit figures in the last year, if another aim is to help society give examples of the charity events they hold.

• Identify the stakeholders of the business (anyone who is affected by the business) and explain what each one might want out of the business.
