The Hierarchy of Needs Theory in Business

Welcome, caffeine enthusiasts and aspiring captains of industry, to Coffee Club Business Studies A-Level! Today, we’re diving into Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which is essentially a fancy way of saying, “What do humans need to be happy, besides a good cup of joe?” Picture this: imagine you’re a coffee bean, starting at the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid. You’ll need to find water and soil—aka basic physiological needs. Next, you’ll need a safe place away from pesky pests (safety needs). After that, you’ll want some friendly beans to hang out with (love and belonging). Once you’ve got your bean buddies, you’ll aim to be the most prestigious bean in the coffee sack (esteem needs). Finally, you’ll reach the peak: self-actualization, where you become the espresso of your dreams. Remember, students, life is like a cup of coffee: it can be dark and bitter, but with a little sugar and milk, it can also be sweet and fulfilling!
