BUSINESS STUDIES  AS/A2

The problems facing any business will change from day to day.  The owners and managers of businesses must, therefore, be equipped with the personal character, skills and knowledge to meet the stressful demands upon them.  All business courses deal with the marketing, financial, operational and personal issues which companies face.  They also look at problems which come from outside the managers’ control e.g. from competition and the government.  A level Business Studies is a modular course and therefore is examined at regular intervals.  Much of the style of work is ‘case study’  i.e. working with examples of issues and problems facing companies, attempting to understand and solve these.
