Introduction
Business activity does not take place in isolation from what is going on around it
The success of a business activity is greatly impacted by the structure and health of the
economy
Purpose of business activity
Businesses uses resources to meet the need of customers by providing product (goods &
services)
Business activity involves creating and adding value to resources (i.e. raw material & semi-
finished goods)

Business activity uses the scarce resources (limited resources) of our planet to produce
goods and services…
o allow us all to enjoy a such higher standard of living than would be possible if we
remained entirely self sufficient
So, what do businesses do?
o Businesses identify needs (consumers / other firms)
o Purchase resources (factors of production)
, o Produce goods & services – satisfy needs
o Market profit (make profit)
What do businesses need to produce goods and services?

The concept of creating or adding value (added value)
Business aim to create value- selling goods and services for a higher price than the cost of
bought in materials
A business adds value to the raw materials it uses to produce the goods and services it sells
If a customer is prepared to pay a price that is much greater than the cost of materials used
in making or providing a good / service…
Added value = selling price – cost
