Business Management

Top skills; Leading, Communicating, Making Decisions

Business plays an important role in society, as it creates wealth, prosperity, jobs and choices. It is therefore essential to have effective businesses and business managers to sustain this role. The Business Management course helps learners develop an understanding of the economic and financial environment in which businesses operate. This enables them to make an effective contribution to society as consumers, employees, employers or self-employed people. Learners gain skills in personal financial awareness through improving knowledge of financial management in a business context. The course introduces learners to 3 areas of study: Understanding Business, Management of Marketing & Operations and Management of People and Finance. It develops skills in communicating and presenting business-related information, in a variety of formats, to the various stakeholders of an organisation. 

By studying this course, learners develop an appreciation of customer focus, enterprise, and decision-making. The course is theoretical, in nature, and S3 will focus on learners developing their literacy skills as the N5 Business Management exam is a 2 hour written paper.
