Y13 Economics students have been starting to look at oligopolies and game theory today. Quick penalty shootout to put theory into action.

Business in the news - just two pages from the paper yields three stories on topics we’ve been looking at recently in Business & Economics. Some of the best A-Level consolidation comes from the news…and @tutor2uBusiness @tutor2uEcon

Some fantastic remote learning work from Y13 Business students today. Students have been working on collaborative research presentations & presented them in our live lesson today. Excellent teamwork and resilience shown, particularly when the technical gremlins struck!

Y13 Business students have been learning about sensitivity analysis with investment decisions today. It all starts with throwing paper balls into a bin - special thanks to Joe for aiding the example by deliberately missing all 3 😉

The benefits of diversified distribution channels? Apple announces $11bn quarterly profit - during a quarter when most of its physical retail stores were closed for most of the quarter. Interesting argument on cash-flow too - that ~$200bn cash pile looking quite useful now.

Good example of persuasive vs informative vs reminder advertising here. Not all advertising is for a product.

Nostalgia is becoming an increasingly powerful promotional tool for businesses trying to attract buyers of a certain age group. Mr Davis wouldn’t have bought this if it said ‘Snickers’ - can’t resist the retro edition though!

50/50 split over who could tell the brand from the non-brand in Y10. Next lesson we’ll look at the power of brands & why consumers continue to pay for them.

First giraffe has arrived. Lots of Belbin roles on show to get this made. Group 2 could do with a Completer Finisher....

[CHS Business @CHSBus]

Y13 Business students learning about Belbin’s team roles this morning. Here we are mid-construction of our giraffes.

Bit more CSR here: How does this tie in with Apple’s frequent highlighting of their green approach to technology? (Usual warning about finding another source to corroborate though)

[CHS Business @CHSBus]

External environment, CSR, ops management, environmental impact - take your pick! Good bit of reading for Y12 & 13 students before we start back.
