INTRO TO CADBURYS (BUSINESS 1)

Cadburys 




Cadbury is a British confectionary company owned by Kraft Foods.  Cadbury World opened on 14th August 1990 on Cadbury's Bornville manufacturing site, and has expanded and developed through continuous improvement. Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions - welcoming over 500,000 visitors each year. Cadbury is a subsidiary organisation. This means that a subsidiary company, subsidiary, or daughter company is a company that is completely or partly owned and partly or wholly controlled by another company that owns more than half of the subsidiary's stock. The subsidiary can be a company, corporation, or limited liability company.

Cadburys’ scale of operation is global. The reason why Cadburys’ is global is because the products are sold worldwide and are found in every country. However, the making of the chocolate is local because the chocolate is made in the Birmingham factory in Bournville where the attraction is based and customers can actually go and see what how Cadburys’ make their chocolate. The sector of business in which the business operates is private. This is because the organisation sells their products for profit. Private sector is part of the national economy made up of private enterprises. It includes the personal sector (households) and corporate sector (companies), and is responsible for allocating most of the resources within an economy, some UK examples of the private sector are: Morrisons, Tesco and Asda. Cadburys operates within the secondary sector.  The secondary sector is the manufacturing and assembly process. It involves converting raw materials into components, for example, making plastics from oil. It also involves assembling the product, for example: building houses, bridges and roads. Therefore, Cadburys is part of the secondary sector as this is where the chocolate is made (raw material) and is manufactured and assembled into different products, waiting to be sold.
