Business Studies:Single
Course summary
This year students will be introduced to the concept of business which will include areas such as the legal structures of businesses and external factors which should be considered when making business decisions. Once the students have acquired this foundation knowledge, the four functional areas of business (marketing, operations, finance and HR) will be taught which will enable the students by the end of the year to understand how businesses operate and why. Key words, theories and models are taught throughout the year in most units which enables students to become fluent with business terminology and puts them in an ideal position for some of the more complex areas of business which are covered in Year 13.
