Business provides pupils with an in-depth knowledge of how small businesses are set up and run by entrepreneurs. The course also looks at larger organisations, such as Tesco, Walmart, JLR and Gym Shark and provides an understanding of the challenges MNC’s face when expanding into global markets. Pupils study key economic indicators, such as inflation and economic growth, and how the external environment can impact business performance. The subject is very dynamic and company examples are used throughout the teaching, giving the course a practical feel. The Edexcel course is broken down into four themed areas: Marketing and People; Finance and Operations; Business Strategy; International Business.
