Taking the right decisions is the key factor which determines business success. The course concentrates on how managers can take effective decisions and the information they need to make the right choices. Reading a subject specification is, generally, rather tedious. What follows is not the Business syllabus but a series of business situations which our students are encouraged to analyse and discuss during the course. Business tackles a range of diverse, exciting and thought-provoking areas including, to name but a few: - How can entrepreneurs walk away with thousands of pounds of investment, even with a product that doesn’t work? - Does the Body Shop care more about animal welfare than its loyalty to customers and shareholders? - What makes a business with a fantastic product file for bankruptcy within a few months? - Will companies like Coca Cola be a part of our future or should we leave them behind? Business is more than being able to be good at business. It forces students to reflect on everything around them and instils a world of curiosity and belief which will help them in their present and future lives. In the A1 year students focus on two key areas: Theme 1: Marketing & People – The Market; Market Research; Demand & Supply; The Marketing Mix; Recruitment, Selection & Training; Motivation; Role & Characteristics of an Entrepreneur; Forms of Business. Theme 2: Managing Business Activities – Internal & External Finance; Sales, Revenue & Costs; Break Even, Profit; Business Failure; Economic Influences; Legislation. At A2 level, the scale and complexity of businesses takes a more global picture looking at powerful multinationals and governments that shape our world today and will certainly play a key role in the future lives of our students. Once again students study two key themes: Theme 3: Business Decisions & Strategy - Business Objectives & Strategy; Business growth; Decision-making techniques; Business Decisions; Competitiveness; Managing Change. Theme 4: Global Business – Globalisation; Global Markets & Business Expansion; Global Marketing; Global Industries & Companies.
No specific requirements although Mathematics is a useful subject. Some universities may require Mathematics GCSE at grade 7 or 6 (A or B) Management Science courses typically require A Level Maths. To study Management at LSE/UCL you require A Level Maths
