By taking a holistic approach to the subject, Business A Level demonstrates the interrelated nature of business. We use business models, theories and techniques to support analysis of contemporary business issues and situations to provide a dynamic specification. The content is designed to engage girls through topics and issues that are relevant in today’s society – they will study key contemporary developments such as digital technology and business ethics; and globalisation is covered throughout the topics. Girls will develop the knowledge and skills needed to analyse data, think critically about issues and make informed decisions – all skills that are needed for further study and employment. Course Content There will be three examination papers assessing the following: • What is business? • Managers, leadership and decision making • Decision making to improve marketing performance • Decision making to improve operational performance • Decision making to improve financial performance • Decision making to improve human resource performance • Analysing the strategic position of a business • Choosing strategic direction • Strategic methods: how to pursue strategies • Managing strategic change.
Girls do not need to have studied Business at GCSE but they do need to enjoy manipulating and analysing numerical information. A Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics is desirable.
