The course aims to provide pupils with an understanding of the nature and problems of business through an investigation of the decision-making processes and environment within which business operates. The perspectives of all stakeholders are considered. There are no formal entry requirements other than a genuine desire to learn how businesses are organised, operate, plan and make decisions. Skills developed during the course include communication, application of numbers, problem-solving and working with others. The A-Level Business course introduces students to some of the key issues and concerns. Are you interested in questions such as How is Brexit still affecting businesses? What will be the implications of current high levels of inflation? How and what do businesses decide to produce? Why are some businesses more successful than others? How will current changes in interest rates affect investment decisions? The examination is based on real businesses, and so during the two years, you will need an interest in current affairs – What businesses are in the news and why? What are the forecasts for the economy and how will it impact on business decisions? Business will give you a greater understanding of the business environment whilst developing key skills required to analyse and evaluate business behaviour. It should be noted that Economics may not be taken alongside Business as there is too great an overlap in the courses.
In practice, they should expect to gain a significant number of 8 or 9 grades. We are looking for a minimum of five 8 or 9 grades at GCSE, and at least an 8 in the subjects they wish to study in the Lower Sixth (Year 12),
The course is assessed over three Papers each of which is two hours long. • Paper 1: Marketing, people and global business - assesses the content covered in themes 1 and 4. • Paper 2: Business activities, decisions and strategy - assesses the content covered in themes 2 and 3. • Paper 3: Investigating business in a competitive environment – this is a synoptic paper drawing on students’ knowledge of all areas of the syllabus. All of the questions are data responses based on case studies of real businesses.
