SENIOR CYCLE KEY SKILLS The pace of change in Irish society and in the business world is significant. It is led by innovation and new technologies, from both within national boundaries as well as by international and global developments. These trends will continue to have an impact on the nature of the workplace, and on the skills employees and entrepreneurs will be required to possess in the future. This has been recognised by the NCCA, who have developed a framework of five key skills that are embedded throughout the Senior Cycle curriculum. These skills, in addition to further supporting the literacy and numeracy platform, are seen as key in enabling students to reach their full potential, allowing them to participate fully in our society, our communities and in the workplace. Information on these key skills and the national framework follows, with further reading available to teachers at www.ncca.ie.

Scheme of Work
SCHEME OF WORK Introduction
The following scheme of work has been produced to enable teachers to plan for the two-year senior cycle business course. All schools are different in terms of class time length, class frequency, and each academic year is impacted at different times by events such as the return to school in August, as well as the scheduling of Pre-Leaving Certificate examinations. These different local operating environments, in addition to students’ interests and ability levels, will influence the teacher’s decision on the time duration spent on each chapter. The attached scheme of work provides the platform to enable teachers to customise the plan for local needs. The editable version of the plan is available to teachers at www.edcolearning.ie.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES Activity 1 – Role Play • Divide students into pairs/small groups. • Assign a stakeholder relationship, e.g. employer and employee. • Allow the students to decide the type of relationship between the assigned stakeholders, e.g. co-operative. • Students work within an allocated timeframe to create a short role play to show the relationship between the stakeholders but should not use the name of the stakeholder in the role play. • After the role play, the other students need to identify the stakeholders and the type of relationship. • Students could also be asked to suggest other examples to show the relationship between the stakeholders in the role play.
Activity 2 – Loop Game • The following table needs to be photocopied, laminated and cut into individual cards. • Each student receives one card, which contains a definition and separate key word, both relating to the topic ‘people in business’. • One student begins by reading aloud the definition on their card. • The student that has the corresponding key word reads aloud the correct word. This student then reads the definition on their card. • The game continues in a loop, until all definitions and key words have been used.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY Activity – Contract Negotiation • This role play shows you how contracts are made through the process of negotiation. • You have been assigned into teams of four. In each team, there will be two clients and two solicitors. • Each side of the contract negotiation will be given confidential information relating to what they want to achieve in the contract. It is important that the solicitor and client work together to achieve the best result for the client. • Once you have received the materials, you will have 5 minutes to discuss the information with your side and make a strategy for the negotiation process. • After 5 minutes, you will meet with your opponents and the contract negotiations will begin. • The team of four must write a contract to show what was agreed during the negotiations.
The Sponsorship Deal Scenario: Taylor Andrews is an Irish tennis player who has recently won three major international tournaments. Oscar Duffy owns and runs SportQuest and would like to sponsor Taylor and for her to be the firm’s first brand ambassador. In return for the sponsorship, Taylor would be expected to wear the firm’s sports clothing and use their equipment.
Taylor Andrews & SportQuest Taylor Andrews: Taylor is nineteen years old and has played tennis since the age of eight. She turned professional at the age of seventeen. Taylor has trained in Europe and the USA and she recently won the French Open grand slam tournament. She travels all over the world to participate in tennis competitions in order to improve her world ranking. Taylor is currently ranked 20th in the world. SportQuest: Oscar Duffy set up SportQuest eight years ago, as he believed that it was possible to create high quality sports clothing and equipment from his factory in Ennis, Co. Clare. For tennis players, the firm manufactures tennis racquets, as well as clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, skirts and headbands. Oscar currently sells his range online but he would like to set up at least two stand-alone retail outlets in Florida and Berlin, with further expansion in the future. 6

Unit 1

Confidential Information: Taylor and her Solicitor Taylor believes that her contract with SportQuest should earn her €500,000 per year. In addition, she wants the firm to provide her with free sports clothing. The lowest amount that Taylor will accept from SportQuest is €400,000 plus free clothing. Taylor has won a number of international tournaments over the past eighteen months and she believes that she can improve on her current world ranking of No. 20. If she continues to climb the world rankings, she may be offered very large sponsorship deals with brands such as Nike and Under Armour. Therefore, Taylor wants the deal with SportQuest to last for a maximum length of one year. Taylor has used SportQuest racquets during training sessions and she finds them too heavy. She wants to be allowed to continue using Babolat racquets but wear SportQuest clothing such as t-shirts, shorts and footwear. While confident on the tennis court, Taylor can be shy when she meets new people for the first time. She will agree to take part in radio and print interviews, e.g. newspapers and magazines, but she does not want to commit to more than five in-store appearances. She finds it tiring to travel to different shop locations and instead wants to focus her time on practising her tennis and entering tournaments.
Confidential Information: Oscar Duffy and SportQuest As SportQuest is a relatively small Irish firm, Oscar does not want to pay Taylor more than €300,000 per year, plus free clothing. He will consider increasing his offer to €350,000 with free clothing, if Taylor agrees to sign a two-year contract with his business. In order to increase global brand awareness, Oscar is insistent that Taylor should wear the entire range of SportQuest clothing while training and taking part in tournaments. She must also use their range of racquets. If Taylor does not agree to use the racquets, Oscar believes that this will send a negative message about the quality of the racquets to other players and to the public. If Taylor refuses to use the racquets, it is possible that Oscar will want to negotiate for additional elements to be added to the contract. As SportQuest does not manufacture tennis shoes, Oscar is willing to allow Taylor to wear shoes from other competitors, such as Adidas. In addition, as Oscar wants to raise the profile of SportQuest, he intends to sponsor other world-ranked tennis players. Oscar wants Taylor to feature in all future print advertisements for SportQuest in national and international magazines and newspapers. In addition, Oscar wants Taylor to make at least seven in-store appearances to meet customers. He also intends to run a competition whereby the winner gets to spend one day training with Taylor. While Taylor’s behaviour on the tennis circuit has so far been impeccable, SportQuest wants to insert a ‘good behaviour’ clause in the contract while Taylor wears and uses the firm’s clothing and equipment. 7
