Goods and Services
It is important to make sure that students understand the
difference between goods and services. Emphasize that
goods are tangible (can be held or touched) like Nike athlet-
ic shoes, while services are intangible (cannot be held in
your hand) like a haircut.

Business and Entrepreneurship
In the United States the entrepreneur is held in high regard.
Most students have heard of Sam Walton and Michael Dell,
but it often adds to the classroom experience if they under-
stand how these entrepreneurs started their businesses. Sam
Walton started Walmart with just one store in Arkansas in
the 1960s. Michael Dell got his start building computers in
his University of Texas dorm room, ultimately leading to
the creation of Dell, Inc.

Revenue, Profit, and Loss
About 80,000 businesses in the United States close each
year. Even more close during economic slowdowns like the
one that started in 2008.

How Is Tax Money Used?

Outsourcing and Insourcing
1. Outsourcing is the contracting with other companies
to do some of the firm’s functions. As the slide
states, these companies are often in other countries.
For example, Dell Computers and many other com-
panies outsource support services to call centers in
India and other Asian nations. This can be an emo-
tional issue and one that students often do not under-
stand. When discussing this topic with students, it is
important for students to understand that outsourcing
has occurred for years and does not always involve a
company from the United States locating jobs in an-
other country.
2. Once students understand outsourcing, the concept of
insourcing can be discussed. For example, Hyundai
operates plants in the United States. Its design and
engineering headquarters are in Detroit, and it pro-
duces cars in Montgomery, Alabama, all of which
