They are here - tutor2u’s new Business Influence Cards!

This is a new teaching resource which can be used again and again in the business classroom.

- A major competitor decides to reduce capacity in order to improve productivity
- The inspirational CEO indicates that he wishes to retire
- The industry comes under fire for unethical promotional methods
- IT consultants recommend that the business consider outsourcing several activities

* What should the business do to respond to these influences?
* Is a development good or bad news for a business and its industry?
* Which internal and external factors are most important for a business, and why?

These questions and many more can be addressed by students by using tutor2u’s innovative Business Influence Cards.

The Business Influence Cards comprise a series of 60 brief scenarios which may impact the functional and strategic objectives and decisions of a business. The scenarios contain a variety of political, economic, social and technological changes, as well as internal factors covering the main functional areas.

The Business Influence Card pack comes with guidance on the many ways to use the resource in the classroom. The cards are ideal for starter and group activities, as well as introducing and reinforcing key knowledge during a business course. Some examples of how the Business Influence Cards can be used are described here.

Each pack of Business Influence Cards contains 60 gloss-laminated A5 scenario cards - a long-lasting and flexible resource that you’ll find yourself using again and again!
