Building a strong foundation in Business Studies at Year 7 level is essential for understanding how the world around us works. This WJEC-aligned guide covers the key concepts you need to know, from what a business actually is to the basics of marketing, finance, and enterprise. Each point is explained clearly in both English and Chinese to support bilingual learning and revision.
在七年级打好商务学科的基础，有助你理解身边的世界是如何运转的。这份与 WJEC 对齐的指南梳理了从什么是企业到营销、财务与企业精神等核心知识点。每个要点都配有清晰的中英双语解释，方便双语学习和复习。
1. What is Business? | 什么是商业？
A business is any organisation that provides goods or services to meet the needs and wants of customers. The main aim of most businesses is to make a profit, but some may focus on social goals or providing a service to the community. Understanding this definition helps you see business activity all around you — from the local corner shop to huge online retailers.
商业是指为了满足顾客的需求与欲望而提供商品或服务的任何组织。大多数企业的主要目标是盈利，但也有部分企业可能侧重社会目标或为社区提供服务。理解这一定义，能帮助你留意到身边的商业活动——从街角小店到大型在线零售商。
2. Needs and Wants | 需求与欲望
Needs are things we must have to survive, such as food, water, shelter, and clothing. Wants are things we would like to have but are not essential, like a new smartphone, designer clothes, or a holiday. Businesses exist because they can supply both needs and wants, but it is important for young entrepreneurs to recognise the difference, as it affects how products are designed and marketed.
需求是我们生存所必需的东西，如食物、水、住所以及衣物。欲望则是我们想要但并非必不可少的东西，比如新款手机、名牌服饰或度假旅行。企业之所以存在，正是因为它们能够同时满足需求和欲望。不过，年轻的创业者需要认清两者的区别，因为这会影响产品的设计与营销方式。
3. Goods and Services | 商品与服务
Goods are tangible products that you can see and touch, like a pencil, a sandwich, or a car. Services are intangible actions provided for you, such as a haircut, a bus ride, or an online maths tutorial. Many businesses in Wales and across the UK provide both goods and services; for example, a restaurant offers food (goods) and waiting staff service (service).
商品是你能够看到和触摸的有形产品，如铅笔、三明治或汽车。服务则是为你提供的无形活动，比如理发、乘坐公交或在线的数学辅导。威尔士及整个英国的许多企业都同时提供商品和服务；例如，一家餐厅既提供食物（商品），又提供服务员的服务（服务）。
4. Factors of Production | 生产要素
To produce goods and services, a business needs four key resources, known as the factors of production: land, labour, capital, and enterprise. Land includes all natural resources. Labour is the human effort put into production. Capital covers man-made tools and machinery. Enterprise brings the other three together, taking risks to create a business.
要生产商品和服务，企业需要四种关键资源，也就是生产要素：土地、劳动力、资本以及企业精神。土地涵盖一切自然资源。劳动力是投入到生产中的人力。资本包括人造的工具和机器。企业精神则将其它三种要素结合起来，承担风险去创建企业。
| Land | Natural resources: water, oil, forests, land itself |
| Labour | Workers: farmers, factory staff, teachers |
| Capital | Man-made items: computers, delivery vans, factory buildings |
| Enterprise | The entrepreneur who organises the others and takes financial risks |
表格：生产要素一览 | 土地：自然资源；劳动力：工人；资本：人造物品；企业精神：承担风险的企业家。
5. Types of Business Ownership | 企业所有权类型
In Year 7, we focus on the simplest forms of business ownership. A sole trader is a business owned and run by one person; it is easy to set up but the owner has unlimited liability, meaning personal assets are at risk. A partnership involves two or more owners who share the workload and profits. Small private limited companies (Ltd) also appear in WJEC examples, but the core idea is that ownership structure affects how decisions are made and who is responsible for debts.
在七年级，我们重点关注最简单的所有制形式。个体经营是由一人拥有并经营的企业，设立容易，但业主要承担无限责任，意味着个人财产也可能面临风险。合伙企业则由两个或以上的所有者共同分担工作和利润。小型的私人有限公司（Ltd）也会出现在 WJEC 的案例中，但核心理念在于，所有制结构会影响决策方式及债务责任人。
6. Introduction to Marketing – The 4Ps | 市场营销入门：4P 策略
Marketing is not just about advertising; it is about providing the right product at the right price, in the right place, with the right promotion. These four elements are called the marketing mix or the 4Ps. Product is what you sell. Price is how much customers pay. Place is where the product is sold, including shops and websites. Promotion includes advertising, social media, and special offers.
营销并不仅仅是打广告，而是要以合适的价格、在合适的地点、通过合适的促销方式提供合适的产品。这四个要素被称为营销组合或 4P 策略。产品是你销售的东西。价格是顾客支付的金额。渠道是产品的销售场所，包括商店和网站。促销则包括广告、社交媒体和特价优惠。
- Product: features, design, quality
- Price: competitive, cost-based, penetration pricing
- Place: high street, e-commerce, wholesalers
- Promotion: adverts, influencer marketing, buy-one-get-one-free
中文：产品（特性、设计、质量）；价格（竞争性定价、成本加成、渗透定价）；渠道（商业街、电商、批发商）；促销（广告、网红营销、买一送一）。
7. Understanding Costs and Revenue | 理解成本与收入
Every business has costs. Fixed costs stay the same regardless of output, like monthly rent or an app subscription. Variable costs change with how much is produced, such as raw materials or packaging. Revenue is the income a business earns from selling its products, calculated as price per unit multiplied by the number of units sold. A Year 7 learner should be able to classify simple costs into fixed and variable.
每家企商都有成本。固定成本不受产量影响，如月租金或应用程序订阅费。变动成本则随产量变化，比如原材料或包装。收入是企业通过销售产品获得的款项，计算方式为单价乘以销售数量。七年级学生应能将简单的成本划分为固定成本和变动成本。
Revenue = Price per unit × Quantity sold
收入 = 单位价格 × 销售数量
8. Profit and Loss | 利润与亏损
Profit is the reward for taking a business risk. It is what remains after all costs have been deducted from revenue. If costs are greater than revenue, the business makes a loss. Even simple stall activities at a school fair can help pupils understand this idea: if you spend £5 on materials and sell your products for £8, your profit is £3.
利润是承担商业风险的回报，是从收入中扣除所有成本后的剩余。如果成本高于收入，企业就发生了亏损。即使是学校集市上的简单摆摊活动也能帮助同学们理解这个概念：假如你花费 5 英镑购买材料，以 8 英镑售出产品，你的利润就是 3 英镑。
Profit = Revenue – Total Costs
利润 = 收入 – 总成本
9. Budgeting Basics | 预算基础
A budget is a financial plan that estimates future income and spending. Governments, families and businesses all use budgets to make sure they do not run out of money. In WJEC Year 7 activities, you might be asked to draw up a simple budget for a small project, highlighting expected revenue and likely costs. Sticking to a budget helps avoid debt and encourages savings.
预算是一项估算未来收入与支出的财务计划。政府、家庭和企业都使用预算来确保自己不会没钱可用。在 WJEC 七年级的活动中，你可能会被要求为一个小型项目编制简单的预算，列出预期收入和可能的成本。遵守预算有助于避免债务并鼓励储蓄。
10. Customer Service and Enterprise Skills | 客户服务与企业技能
Good customer service means helping customers before, during and after a purchase. It builds loyalty and encourages positive word-of-mouth. Being enterprising is about spotting opportunities and having the confidence to turn an idea into a real project. The WJEC curriculum encourages young people to develop skills like teamwork, creativity, problem-solving and financial awareness — all of which matter in business.
良好的客户服务意味着在购买前、购买中和购买后都要帮助顾客。这能建立起顾客忠诚度，让更多人为你做口碑宣传。具备企业精神，则是要善于发现机会，并有信心将想法变成实际项目。WJEC 课程鼓励年轻人发展团队合作、创造力、解决问题及财务意识等技能，这些在商业中都至关重要。
