Introducing Business Studies

Business Studies is structured to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values which are necessary for learners to participate responsibly, productively and effectively in business activities in both formal and informal sectors.

Business Studies as defined by the wilkipedia is the name of an academic subject taught at higher level in many countries and at university level. Its study combines accounting, economics, finance, marketing and organisational behavior, however these topics are taught somewhat differently depending on which board the examinations are sat on.

Business Studies is generally seen to be more theoretical, conceptual and academically more rigorous than the new vocationally focused Applied Business. The Applied Business course has a much more practical emphasis. This is in line with the UK government's vision for secondary education.

The subject investigates how private and public enterprises can be managed best to achieve profit and other objectives while providing goods and services that satisfy human needs.
