IB Business Management is a wide-ranging course that enables students to develop attributes required to become capable and creative business leaders and entrepreneurs in an increasingly globalised world. Students will explore the principles and tools used by businesses to make decisions, focusing on areas such as management, customers, operations, finance and marketing to understand how businesses function and can be successful in uncertain markets and contexts.
Teachers make use four key interdisciplinary concepts: creativity, change, ethics and sustainability and enable students to apply these to a business context, examining how internal and external forces influence a company’s stakeholders. Inquiry questions are used across the course to allow students to examine how companies grow and the organisational culture and structures that evolve with that growth. Practically, students gain an understanding of accounts, cost and revenue as well as marketing strategy and operations management alongside the integrated business management toolkit.
This is an intellectually stimulating course that prepares students to contribute in a compassionate and confident manner to the world around them and take advantage of opportunities to grow and be successful as citizens and leaders.
