Business Lesson 15.10.2010

Sooooo Mr. Sen said: Let's get down to business.


Our first question was " What is STEEPLE "? 
Nobody in the class could remember.  


Even though steeple 's dictionary definition is a church tower and spire.
• a spire on the top of a church tower or roof.• archaic a tall tower of a church or other building.   when considered as a business term it means different factors that may affect a business in different ways.  The S stands for Social and cultural opportunities , T stands for Technological opportunities , E stands for Economic opportunities, the second E stand for ethical, P for Political opportunities , L for Legal opportunities and the final E stands for environmental factors that may affect a business. The importance of each of these and different factors and their possible threats may cause a lot of different changes in a business. All of these factors need to be considered through-outly in order for the business to have a long and healthy working period.
Certain examples for each of these factors are below:

Socially, Gazi Osman Pasa and the Koc School have different students with different family backgrounds.
One of the social factors in a school are the expectations parents have for their children because the school has a certain reputation.
What is the demographic profile of the families of the children in a certain school ?   could also be a social investigation to be held. Also suppose that the ministry decides that Jewish people can’t go to school. Then that would be a social change in the schools students.

Social and Economic factors were misunderstood between our classmates. So how do you distinguish a social and economic factor?
Social factors have to do with ethnic identities with religion with social class with democracy and with occupations.  Economic factors are the factors related to economy and cash and income and so on.


Some Economic Factor examples are:  Turkey -2001 – a lot of parents woke up one day and say that they no asserts left due to the crisis . This is an economic factor that negatively affected families. Another example is if The dollar goes very week it can be a good thing for imports. If your company has a loan of 1 million dollars and if dollar weakens it is a good thing, you will pay the same amount but it will mean less value.Economic factors, like all other factors that affect a business can either hurt you of be to your benefit. It depends on the aspect you look at.

Political changes can be related to the ideologies of people and the government. For example according to the ideologies of children and their parents, in a certain school, the school may need to change its certain aspects of perhaps certain classes.  In our country(and many others) politics and education has never been separate. The programs of the ministry of education are always interrelated with the political issues. And we can clearly see that politics interferes with education.
