Business encourages independent consideration and critical debate and analysis. It promotes thoughtful deliberation of the world around us, including contemporary business issues. Students will apply theory to real-life business situations, including research and group projects. Business lessons involve much discussion and problem solving for various scenarios.
To study A-Level courses, a student must secure five Grade 5s at GCSE (or vocational course Distinctions), including either English or Maths. To study a specific A-Level course, a student must secure at least a Grade 6 in that subject (or a similar specified subject/s). Please see individual course requirements.
Business is a very popular A-Level. Students are introduced to the challenges and issues of starting a business and explore the key functions of a business. They will use problem-solving to make decisions on these functions and how they interlink with each other. Students will learn about leadership and management before considering strategy, change management and how factors affect businesses. They will explore responses to these and develop methods to achieve objectives. Students use real-world examples to aid their understanding. Some of the issues we will look at include: - What is the impact of leaving the EU on business? - Why do Japanese car manufacturers choose to locate in the UK? - What are the implications of stricter pollution controls on business? - Why do pubs sell guest ales? - Why do small businesses cease trading despite having full order books? - Why did Subway expand through a franchise system? - How can a company improve employee morale? - Should training be viewed as an overhead or as an investment? - What is Total Quality Management? - What is Globalisation? - Why did Mars launch ‘Celebrations’? - How can UK products be more competitive?
