Business Studies (9BSST)
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.
This course gives a sound preparation for Business & Management in Year 10.
