The Four Factors of Production ELABORATE: The Four Factors of Production

Think About It: Imagine you have a chocolate chip cookie  Consider all the different things needed to make this cookie from start to finish- from when things are grown until the package is in your pantry. Make a list and see how many you can think of in my set time limit.

Did you consider...? Tractors, farmers, chickens, eggs, delivery trucks, printers, cocoa beans, trucks, ovens, conveyer belt, factory workers, store, cashier, gas station, paper, oil, sugarcane, cows, etc. You get the point… Lots of different parts come together to produce any product

The Four Factors of Production Producing goods and services requires the use of resources. ALL resources can be classified in to one of the Factors of Production: Land Labor Capital Entrepreneurship

The Four Factors of Production Land- All natural resources that are used to produce goods and services. Anything that comes from “mother nature.” (Water, Sun, Plants, Oil, Trees, Stone, Animals, etc.)

The Four Factors of Production 2. Labor- Any effort a person devotes to a task for which that person is paid. (manual laborers, lawyers, doctors, teachers, waiters, etc.)

The Four Factors of Production 3. Capital- Any human-made resource that is used to create other goods and services (tools, tractors, machinery, buildings, factories, etc.)

The Four Factors of Production Entrepreneurship- ambitious leaders that combine the other factors of production to create goods and services. EX: Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Inventors, Store and Business Owners, etc. Entrepreneurs: 1. Take the Initiative 2. Innovate 3. Assume the risk So they can get PROFITS.

Task: Read through the cards. Try to figure out where they belong on the chart. Each row reads left to right and describes the same idea.

Where did you place the cards? Which did you group together? Why? Think About It: Where did you place the cards? Which did you group together? Why?

Types of Industries Primary Industry- b) Secondary Industry- Businesses that gather the natural resources needed to make the good b) Secondary Industry- Factories where the good is produced c) Tertiary Industry- Stores and businesses that sell the good or service d) Quaternary Industry- Jobs that study and conduct research

Think About It: Choose one of the following industries and think of examples of each type for that field. 1. Music Industry 2. Cattle Industry 3. Oil and Gas Industry 4. Space Industry
