Gall, Joyce P.
This module on owning and operating a construction electrician business is one of 36 in a series on entrepreneurship. The introduction tells the student what topics will be covered and suggests other modules to read in related occupations. Each unit includes student goals, a case study, and a discussion of the unit subject matter. Learning activities are divided into individual activities, discussion questions, and a group activity. Units (and subject matter) in this module are planning your business (services, customers, competition; important personal qualities; legal requirements); choosing a location (importance of the general area you live in; what you need from your business location); getting money to start (statement of financial need; purpose of a business description); being in charge (dividing the work; paying for services; how to hire employees; supervising and training employees); organizing the work (making an estimate; work orders; work schedules; time planning); setting prices (factors that determine prices); advertising and selling (advertising methods; what makes a good ad; selling your services); keeping financial records (planning your record-keeping; handling credit; daily cash sheet); and keeping your business successful (profit/loss statement; making your business more successful; profit and personal satisfaction).
