PPP2 // The Business of Design - Who are They?

The Business of Design

The UK economy is the 7th largest in the world

Different Sectors in UK Economy

Industry Sector - goods producing a segment of an economy

Primary Sector
Anything that is extracted and sold as a raw material (Milk, clay, oil, compost, sand etc...)

Secondary Sector
Anything produced using the raw extracted materials from the Primary sector.

Tertiary Sector
Taking the Primary and the Secondary sectors and using them in services

Quaternary Sector
Industries coming into improve, help and develop the first 3 sectors

this is the first I have heard of these sectors in the UK economy but after listening to Fred’s presentation and actually understanding how every job is catogorised into individual and specialised sectors.

It is a benefit to know these sectors as it will help you discover which sector you are most interested in
- find out which sector has the most design competition

- see where there is a gap in the market
- Understand which sector you are working in and why

Public Sector

NHS, Police, Military, Government, Council etc...

Private Sector
Businesses run for profit
Owned by individuals
Biggest employment sector

Third Sector

The sector in between Public and Private
