Recommended Prior LearningThere is no required prior learning for Level 2 Business Studies. However, students who have taken Year 10 Commerce or Level 1 Commerce may find this background helpful, as it provides a useful foundation of knowledge and skills.
This course provides students with the opportunity to learn and apply useful business skills such as planning, problem solving and decision making. For a large part of the year students will, in groups, plan and run a business, that involves two cycles of business activity. The business and / or product will specifically focus on the well-being of the students' community. In the latter part of the year, students will study various business concepts, including Market Research and Motivation. Students will also investigate issues within a business and the impacts that occur due to these issues. Students will develop solutions for these issues and offer recommendations based on these solutions.
