Year 10 Business Studies

Whatever the environment, all of us are affected by business.  Business Studies involves the study of how people make key decisions at work, at leisure and at home which affect our daily lives. The study of business is about how individuals and groups of people organise, plan, and act to create and develop goods and services to satisfy customers.  

Business Studies involves more than just sales and profit calculations.  It is about solving problems, communicating ideas and using judgment.  In this course you will get first hand experience at doing all of these things in relation to the creation and sales of products.
