Business Studies:Single

Course summary

The course focuses on a problem solving approach to business designed to help students understand the nature and working of business organisations. Much of the learning is based around business case studies and focusing on how students can use their business knowledge to determine the success of a business. The aim is to encourage students to develop a critical understanding of different businesses, the context in which they operate, the markets they serve, and ultimately recommend actions that businesses should take to be successful. Students will be expected to immerse themselves in a business-like mind-set and to pay attention to the world around them. For example, students would be expected to take note of relevant news items, which may be used as a basis for discussion and class-work.
