Hey guys,
Our school does a headstart thing for the new year for two weeks and I already want to drop french. I'm going into y11 and the only subjects that work with the blocking are things like art or physics, both of which I hate. Others are all year 12 subjects, one of which is business management. From your own experience do you think I could manage without the 1 and 2. I am also doing year 12 bio and I am of reasonable intelligence, I'm just wondering if I would already be too behind? Also any general info on the subject and what it covers would be much appreciated.
Having completed busman this year without undertaking the 1/2 units, I can confidently say that you can definitely manage business management 3/4, without having completed the 1/2 units! Everything that you are required to know for the final examination is taught in the 3/4 course, so you will not need to catch up on any information taught in the 1/2. Furthermore, units 1/2, whilst somewhat related to units 3/4, the 3/4 course does not explicitly build on such knowledge, rather, it introduces new content; so you won't be disadvantaged in that regard.
Business management, I believe, is a great subject to study in year 12. You'll learn about different types of businesses, management styles, different motivational theories, numerous stakeholders and their role within the business, and the notion of change and how this can impact businesses; to name a few. More information can be found in the
study design; give it a read if you want more information.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them.
