Business Studies

Course summary

Students will learn how a business might evolve. From a small start-up business to a large multinational organisation, students will consider a range of different business types and gain an understanding of how the choice of business type might affect the objectives that are set. Students will also look at the internal workings of businesses, including their internal structure and how different functional areas work together. There is a range of units to choose from, including The Business Environment, Working in Business, Business Decisions, Customers and Communication, Marketing and Market Research, Human Resources, Accounting and Resource Management. The topics will be determined by the interests of most of the students at the start of the course, though some are mandatory.
