Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Naicker.

Business Studies is about how individuals and groups of people organise, plan and act to create and develop goods and services to satisfy customers.  In this course you will learn how internal and external factors affect large businesses in New Zealand.  You will do research on some of NZ's best businesses and learn how they are run and why they are successful.  You will have the opportunity of putting what you have learnt into practise by doing market research and carrying out a business activity of your own.

Recommended Prior Learning

10 Credits in L1 COM 5 of those credits must come from an externaly marked assessment. General understanding of any small business and its operation.  How a small business carries its operation.  It is expected that students have encountered some sort of interaction with businesses and have seen daily operation or function of some.  This will help them to understand business jargon which will improve their knowledge in the world of business.

If students have not previously done L1COM they need to gain permission from Mr Naicker.

Disclaimer

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:

  • Student demand
  • Staff availability
  • Resourcing

These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.

Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
