A Level Business Studies

Introduction

A very broad based subject, A Level business is the perfect vehicle for students to study global corporate and economic relationships – bringings together aspects of finance, accountancy, marketing, economics and organisational studies.  Students develop a deeper and more critical understanding of organisations and their ability to meet society’s needs and wants at a range of scales. Pupils also consider the process of strategic decision making, along with a range of current ethical dilemmas and the corporate social responsibilities faced by businesses and individuals.
