What the college says

The new Business specification allows students to develop a critical understanding of business activity in the modern world. The revised specification gets rid of the development stages of business and focuses more on the management and strategic decision making businesses take to survive and grow in a modern day economy. Students will develop an understanding of how old and new theory models inform business decisions, and will analyse whether these decisions taken by businesses, were the correct ones, and if not, suggest a different strategic direction. The examination paper uses real life businesses and therefore helps to further immerse students in current affairs and the subject. Not only will this course develop students' academic ability through the use of practical skills such as analysing and evaluating, it will develop students' independence and confidence, through presentations, group work and target setting, which are all valuable assets to have.
