https://t.co/IVeXgzQ51C Need a case study for Porter's 5 forces? This BBC article and video has it all. Yes, I know it's Body Shop (old news) but it has just been sold (again) which keeps it current. #businessteacher#edubus#busedu Great to set as home work or as a flipped learning task.
I love the big mac index (AKA burgernomics) as a way to show economic inequality between nations. Squirrel this link away until you teach Theme 4. Well spotted @thebizteach follow her for great links like this all year round 😀#businessteacher#edubus#busedu#Alevelbusiness #teacher #edux #theme4 #edutwitter #bigmac

https://t.co/NNIPf4T5ro Fun interactive graphic from the @OECD it displays countries alphabetically or by rank, change the sliders to rate by income or health, then hover over each country for more detail. Great if teaching #theme4 or 3.7.6 #businessteacher#edubus#bused #busedu #edutwitter
Pls DON'T let this be true. It reports @hmtreasury plans to shelve much needed, called for & worked on plans (by @WhichUK, @TheFCA, @CitizensAdvice & til now govt itself) to regulate Buy Now Pay Later
Why'd it not regulate the UKs fasted growing form of debt, with billions lent?
Yes, BNPL used right can help people borrow interest free to spread necessary costs, but it's still a debt. Protection's needed for when it's not right. Regulation doesn't curtail the industry, it'd just means that for both existing firms & new entrants:
- Fairness rules apply like with other debt
- If treated badly you can go to @financialombuds
- Firms must be honest that this is borrowing not market it as a lifestyle choice
Clearly amidst a cost of living crisis, when many are desperate and living on deficit budgets - all forms of major consumer debt need the protections embedded which regulation gives.
I'd urge @Jeremy_Hunt to continue with the plans, which we were promised years ago, and have huge support amongst consumer groups (and some BNPL firms) and ensure it's fully regulated like the debt it is.
