1. Understanding Business Activity | 理解商业活动
A business is any organisation that provides goods or services to satisfy people's needs and wants. Goods are physical items you can touch, such as trainers or sandwiches. Services are intangible actions done for you, like a haircut or a bus journey. The main purpose of a business is to add value — turning raw materials into something customers are willing to pay for. Without businesses, many of the products we use every day simply would not exist.
企业是提供商品或服务以满足人们需求和欲望的组织。商品是你可以触摸的实物，例如运动鞋或三明治；服务是为您完成的无形行为，如理发或乘坐公交。企业的主要目的是增值——将原材料转化为顾客愿意购买的产品。没有企业，我们日常使用的许多产品根本不会存在。
2. Types of Business Ownership | 企业所有权类型
In Year 7 we focus on three main forms of business ownership. A sole trader is a business owned and run by one person; the owner keeps all profits but has unlimited liability — meaning personal belongings could be at risk if the business fails. A partnership involves two or more people sharing decisions, workload and profits, but also sharing unlimited liability. A private limited company (Ltd) can sell shares to friends and family, has limited liability, and is legally separate from its owners. Use the table below to compare them quickly.
七年级主要学习三种企业所有权形式。个体经营者是由一人拥有和经营的企业；所有者获得全部利润，但承担无限责任——意味着如果企业失败，个人财产可能面临风险。合伙企业涉及两个或更多人共同决策、分担工作和分享利润，但也共同承担无限责任。私人有限公司（Ltd）可以向亲友出售股份，承担有限责任，并且在法律上独立于其所有者。用下表快速比较它们。
| Feature | Sole Trader | Partnership | Ltd |
|---|---|---|---|
| Owners | 1 | 2 or more | Shareholders |
| Liability | Unlimited | Unlimited | Limited |
| Decision making | One person | Shared | Directors |
3. Business Aims and Objectives | 商业目标与目的
Every business sets aims — the broad, long‑term goals it wants to achieve. Objectives are the specific, measurable steps that help a business reach its aims. Common aims include survival (especially for new businesses), profit maximisation, growth, providing a service to the community, and increasing market share. A social enterprise, for example, might aim to help the environment rather than earn the highest profit.
每个企业都会设定目标——它想要实现的广泛、长期的目的。目的是帮助企业实现目标的具体、可衡量的步骤。常见的目标包括生存（尤其是新企业）、利润最大化、增长、为社区提供服务以及提高市场份额。例如，社会企业可能旨在保护环境，而不是追求最高利润。
4. Stakeholders and Their Interests | 利益相关者及其关注点
Stakeholders are individuals or groups that have an interest in a business and can affect or be affected by its actions. Internal stakeholders include owners and employees; external stakeholders include customers, suppliers, the local community and the government. Owners want high profits, employees want fair pay and job security, customers want quality products at low prices, and the local community wants jobs and a clean environment. Conflicting interests often arise — for instance, paying workers more may reduce profits.
利益相关者是对企业有兴趣并可能影响企业或被企业行为影响的个人或群体。内部利益相关者包括所有者和员工；外部利益相关者包括顾客、供应商、当地社区和政府。所有者希望高利润，员工希望公平薪酬和工作保障，顾客希望低价优质产品，当地社区希望就业和清洁环境。利益冲突经常出现——例如，给工人加薪会减少利润。
5. Market Research: Finding Out What Customers Want | 市场调研：了解顾客需求
Market research gathers information about customers, competitors and market trends. Primary research involves collecting new data first‑hand, such as through questionnaires, interviews or focus groups. Secondary research uses information that already exists, like internet reports, government statistics or sales data. Primary research is tailored to your exact needs but is expensive and time‑consuming; secondary research is cheaper and faster but may not be perfectly relevant.
市场调研收集关于顾客、竞争对手和市场趋势的信息。一手调研涉及亲自收集新数据，例如通过问卷、访谈或焦点小组。二手调研使用已有的信息，如互联网报告、政府统计数据或销售数据。一手调研完全针对你的需求，但昂贵且费时；二手调研更便宜快捷，但可能不完全贴合你的需要。
6. The Marketing Mix: The 4Ps | 营销组合：4P
The marketing mix describes the four key elements a business uses to promote its products: Product (what you sell — design, quality, features), Price (how much customers pay — strategies like penetration or skimming), Place (where products are sold — shops, online, delivery channels), and Promotion (how you tell customers about the product — advertising, social media, sales offers). A successful business blends these four into a consistent brand image.
营销组合描述了企业推广产品所使用的四个关键要素：产品（你卖什么——设计、质量、功能）、价格（顾客支付多少——渗透定价或撇脂定价等策略）、地点（产品在哪里销售——商店、线上、配送渠道）以及促销（你如何告知顾客——广告、社交媒体、优惠活动）。成功的企业会把四者融合成一个协调一致的品牌形象。
7. Introduction to Finance: Revenue, Costs and Profit | 财务基础：收入、成本与利润
You must be confident with three financial formulas. Revenue is the money a business receives from selling its products:
Revenue = Selling price × Quantity sold
你必须熟悉三个财务公式。收入是企业销售产品获得的资金：
收入 = 售价 × 销售数量
Total costs are the sum of fixed costs (rent, salaries that do not change with output) and variable costs (raw materials, packaging that rise with each unit produced). Profit is calculated as:
Profit = Revenue − Total costs
总成本是固定成本（租金、不随产量变化的薪金）与可变成本（随每单位产量上升的原材料、包装）之和。利润计算如下：
利润 = 收入 − 总成本
If revenue equals total costs, the business breaks even — it is not making a profit or a loss.
如果收入等于总成本，企业就盈亏平衡——不赚不赔。
8. Break‑even Analysis in Practice | 盈亏平衡分析实践
Break‑even tells a business how many units it must sell to cover all its costs. The formula is:
Break‑even output = Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price − Variable cost per unit)
盈亏平衡告诉企业必须销售多少件产品才能覆盖所有成本。公式为：
盈亏平衡产量 = 固定成本 ÷ (售价 − 每单位可变成本)
For example, if fixed costs are £2000, selling price is £10 per unit, and variable cost is £6 per unit, break‑ ing this number helps a business set sales targets and decide whether a new product is worth launching.
例如，固定成本为2000英镑，售价为每件10英镑，可变成本为每件6英镑，盈亏平衡点为2000 ÷ (10 − 6) = 500件。知道这个数字有助于企业设定销售目标，并决定新产品是否值得推出。
9. Production Methods: Job, Batch and Flow | 生产方法：单件、批量和流水
Businesses choose a production method based on the product and demand. Job production makes one unique item at a time — a wedding cake or a tailor‑made suit. It is high quality but slow and expensive. Batch production makes groups of identical items together — bakeries often bake trays of 24 cupcakes. It is flexible but machines must be reset between batches. Flow production uses a continuous assembly line, making large volumes of standardised products, like cars or soft drinks. It is efficient but very expensive to set up and boring for workers.
企业根据产品和需求量选择生产方法。单件生产一次制作一件独特的产品——婚礼蛋糕或定制西装。质量高但速度慢且成本高。批量生产一次制作一组相同的产品——面包店常常烤制24个一盘的杯形蛋糕。方法灵活，但每批之间必须重置机器。流水生产使用连续的装配线，大批量生产标准化产品，如汽车或软饮料。效率高，但前期投入巨大，且工人容易感到枯燥。
10. External Influences on Business | 外部影响
Businesses do not operate in a bubble. External factors include technology, which can lower costs through automation or create new ways to sell (e‑commerce). Globalisation means businesses now compete with firms from around the world, but they can also source cheaper materials internationally. Legislation (laws on health and safety, consumer rights, employment) forces businesses to behave responsibly. These influences can be opportunities or threats, and successful businesses adapt quickly.
企业并非在真空里运作。外部因素包括技术，它可通过自动化降低成本或创造新的销售方式（电子商务）。全球化意味着企业如今与来自世界各地的公司竞争，但它们也能在国际上采购更廉价的材料。法律（健康与安全、消费者权益、就业等方面的法律）要求企业负责任地经营。这些影响可能是机会也可能是威胁，成功的企业会快速适应。
11. Business Ethics and Sustainability | 商业道德与可持续性
Acting ethically means a business does more than just follow the law — it makes choices that are fair to workers, customers and the planet. Sustainability means meeting today's needs without harming future generations. Examples include using recycled packaging, paying suppliers a fair price, or reducing carbon emissions. Ethical behaviour can raise costs in the short term but often builds customer loyalty and a stronger brand reputation over time.
道德经营意味着企业不只是遵守法律——它还能做出对工人、顾客和地球都公平的选择。可持续性是指满足现今需求而不损害后代利益。例如使用可回收包装、向供应商支付合理价格或减少碳排放。道德行为在短期内可能增加成本，但长远来看往往能建立顾客忠诚度和更强大的品牌声誉。
12. Put It Into Practice: Key Terms and Exam Skills | 付诸实践：关键术语与考试技巧
To prepare for your assessment, create flashcards with definitions of all the key terms in this plan: enterprise, stakeholder, revenue, profit, break‑even, marketing mix, etc. Practise short‑answer questions such as 'Explain one advantage of being a sole trader' or 'Calculate the profit if revenue is £5000 and total costs are £3200'. Always structure your answers using the PEEL method — Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link — to show the examiner you can apply business theory to real situations. Work through past paper questions slowly, and you will see your confidence grow.
为评估做准备时，请制作抽认卡，写上本计划中所有关键术语的定义：企业、利益相关者、收入、利润、盈亏平衡、营销组合等。练习简答题，如“解释个体经营者的一个优点”或“计算收入为5000英镑、总成本为3200英镑时的利润”。始终使用PEEL结构作答——观点、证据、解释、联系——向考官展示你能将商务理论运用于真实情境。慢慢练习历年真题，你会看到自己的自信与日俱增。
