A-Level Business investigates the nature and management of organisations including small private firms, large public companies and not-for-profit concerns. The course has been designed to provide students with a critical understanding of the internal functions of contemporary organisations of all types and the dynamic external environment within which businesses operate. The principles of management and decision-making are examined and applied to case studies, helping students to understand how organisations face a number of interrelated problems. The course develops skills such as interpreting data, developing an analytical argument and making judgements based on available evidence, which will help students in their other A-Level subjects and at university. By the end of the course, students should have a good understanding of the skills needed for successful business management and will be familiar with problem solving techniques.
