Objectives: Correctly identify a business which has made a loss or had to close due to environmental influences outside its control Understand the events leading up to this loss or closure, and accurately discuss the key factors which caused it Accurately apply course concepts to the key event(s) to offer an alternative path which may have prevented the loss/closure.
