Topic 1 // The Role Of Business In Society In this topic I will explain the role Gamestation plays in modern day society. I will observe many factors of the business such as how they create wealth and how many people they employ. Firstly I will cover how they create wealth, Gamestation creates wealth through it's high street stores and via it's internet site where customers are able to order products online for home delivery. They sell products that they don’t manufacture which consists mainly of videogames and videogame consoles. Gamestation usually employs about six or seven workers per store which are thoroughly knowledgeable in videogames and videogame consoles. Topic 2 // Types Of Business Organisation In this topic I will explain why the business was set up, how the business was set up, what type of business it is, what sector is it in, what the sector means and the advantages and disadvantages. Gamestation was set up in 1993, founded by Stephen Hall and Julian Gladwin but eventually bought over by Game, a fellow high street videogame store, the company was originally set up as a Private Limited Company and still remains so today. It is in the tertiary sector of business which means it either provides a service or in this case sells the manufactured products to the public. An advantage of being in the tertiary sector is being able to sell the product at it’s highest price. A disadvantage of being in the tertiary sector is that if the primary or secondary sector business you purchase the product from goes out of business then you will lose that product.
