Resource requirements
For this unit, learners must have access to information about
IT enterprises and
associated activities, particularly in respect of new and small enterprises. It is expected
that learners within a cohort will individually select and research the entrepreneurship
in new and developing enterprises.
Essential information for assessment decisions
Learning aim A
For Distinction standard,
learners will evaluate how the principles and characteristics
of at least two IT enterprises have contributed towards their success. Learners will draw
on varied information that leads to a supported judgement, showing the relationship
to the context. For example, the founders of Apple used their chip design, computer
building and sales skills to start a business. They spotted a gap in the market and took a
risk, selling their personal possessions to fund a start-up enterprise because they judged
that customers would buy small, cheap computers for home use.
Learners will evaluate their own skills by performing a realistic skills audit. They will
provide a supported judgement about their skills and expertise and state the relevance
and significance of their strengths and weaknesses to starting an enterprise. For
example, learners may demonstrate their IT expertise with a piece of software they have
written but recognise that they would need to develop some marketing skills to start a
successful enterprise. They will justify how effective teamwork could overcome any skills
gaps. For example, the lack of marketing skills could be overcome by developing a team
with the complementary marketing expertise, rather than diverting their own effort away
from developing an IT product or service.
Overall, the evidence, such as a report, will be easy to read
and understand by a third
party. It will be logically structured, use appropriate technical language throughout, and
be fluently written (i.e. consistent use of correct grammar and spelling) and/or spoken.
