Teacher Page
I chose to divide functions of a business in three lesson so that learners can grasp all 8 functions better. This method allows learners to focus on each function more instead of having to study all 8 at once.
This particular assignment is primarily for learners to understand how the Marketing, financial and human resource function works in a business and also to see whether they understand that their are various departments that contribute to the success of running a business.
