Course Description

Recommended Prior Learning

No prerequisite or prior knowledge required.  Free entry for any student who is willing to dive into the world of business and explore hidden gems that could change their world view of Commerce. This amalgamation of subjects will give them the taste of all Commerce subjects and planning for L2 will be much easier for them.

Commerce is the use and exploration of accounting, economic, and business concepts and models to make sense of society and solve problems. In this subject, ākonga will build the knowledge, skills, and values they need to navigate, and participate in the economic world. They will learn how participants in the economic world make decisions and they will analyze how these decisions impact on sustainability.

Ākonga will learn that decision-making is necessitated by scarcity and that decisions are informed by a variety of cultural perspectives and lenses. Learning and assessment will examine Māori, Pacific and different approaches to commerce and business models from whānau and organization contexts.

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.
