The course essentially tries to encourage and teach students to research and analyse information to make the correct business decision. Thus, there is a heavy dependence on case study and ‘real’ business material. Year 12: Students will learn what a business is, alongside how managers and leadership can influence decision-making. We will look at making decisions to improve marketing, operational, financial, and human resource performance. Year 12 exams will be conducted internally to monitor progress. Year 13: Students will then explore how to analyse the strategic position of a business, choose the strategic direction, and learn how to pursue strategies and manage strategic change.
