project competition organised by the Department. The aim of the competition is to reward
student effort and creativity exhibited in the science of Economics. The prizes - although this
year it proved extremely hard to decide the winners because we had many excellent pieces
of work - have been given to those students whose posters/models exhibited thorough orig-
inality, good conceptualisation of theory and a high level of creativity.

2nd prize
Marianna Lordou, 4Y

A great opportunity was given to the AS business studies group. We visited Laikon Kafekoption where
we saw in action all the things we have been learning for the past three months. We realized that the-
ory and human action do not always cope together. It helped us understand more about how entre-
preneurs think and what goes on behind a factory’s walls, as well as the importance of technology in
modern industry. We were happy to receive samples from their products.

In addition, we were also invited to visit Ocean Basket restaurant in Nicosia, where we were given a tour
by Mr Christophoros and Mr Skordis. We saw how a franchise works, the use of technology in opera-
tions, the importance of customer service and correct marketing in any successful business. We were
also offered a delicious meal by the management, for which we are extremely grateful.
