• Discuss the historical, social and economic context of the business or product • Entrepreneurship: What is the meaning, nature and value of entrepreneurship within this business? • Applying theories of networks, explore the practical relationships the business has with external, internal, social and commercial networks • Analyse pressure points which the business must be aware of and respond to in terms of regulation and lawful behaviour. • What overriding, ongoing or potential ethical concerns does a business of this nature need to consider? What is the business’s attitude or track record to such considerations? As this assignment is biased towards broadening your socio-economic understanding with a view to informing and underpinning your leadership, this study does not require particular focus on detailed business data. A robust overview of the business’s market position, financial situation (to the extent that it is publicly accessible) and the nature and level of its commercial activity will be sufficient.
