Business & Management (10BSSM)

Course Outline
Business Studies is about how individuals and groups of people organise, plan and act to create goods and services to satisfy customers. Business is influenced by, and impacts on, the cultural, ethical, environmental, political and economic conditions of the day. Central to the study of business are the issues around globalisation, enterprise, citizenship and sustainability. 
Studying business enables students to develop an appreciation of the issues that challenge businesses and stakeholders, and creates the opportunity to understand the place of business as an integral part of society and the economy. 
Real-life, experience-based learning is at the heart of business and students will develop financial capability as well as skills such as problem-solving, co-operation, decision-making, negotiation and communication. 
There are eight modules during the year, two of which are practical. Students sit their examination in two out of the three modules in the mid-year examinations and five out of six modules in the end-of-year examinations. It is expected that the students will not complete the module in the examinations that they missed whilst they were at Kahunui.
