  • Explain the ways enterprise activities affect GDP, employment, and export growth.
  • Analyse the impact of government policies on business enterprise.
  • Compare the roles of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in fostering innovation.
  • Evaluate case‑study evidence of enterprise‑driven development.
Materials Needed:

  • Infographic/flowchart of enterprise impact
  • Student worksheets for group activity
  • Laptops or tablets (optional for research)
 Introduction:

Begin with a quick poll: “Which well‑known brands started as a small garage business?” Connect responses to prior lessons on entrepreneurship, then state that today students will see how such enterprises drive a nation’s development. Success criteria: identify key contributions of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs and link them to economic outcomes.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5'): Students list local businesses that began small and share one example.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Define enterprise, entrepreneur, intrapreneur; present impact tables.
  3. Group analysis (15'): In small groups, create a mind‑map of how each impact (jobs, innovation, GDP, tax, exports) connects to national development.
  4. Case study deep‑dive (10'): Examine the South Korea example, answer guided questions on policy support and outcomes.
  5. Synthesis activity (10'): Whole‑class flowchart building linking entrepreneurship → innovation → job creation → higher GDP → improved living standards; teacher checks understanding.
  6. Exit ticket (5'): Write one sentence summarising why both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs are vital for a country’s growth.
Conclusion:

Recap the dual roles of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in driving economic growth and the importance of supportive policies. Collect the exit tickets as a quick retrieval check, and assign homework: research a local entrepreneur or intrapreneur and prepare a short paragraph on their contribution to the community.
