Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Birch
This course is primarily focused on running an innovative, ethical and sustainable business online (ecommerce) and within the surrounding community.
The assessment aspect of this requires students to work within a business group of their choice or independently. Students are required to prepare a business plan which covers all components of a business model and gives focus to creative ideas, sustainability and ethics. This is a full year assessment and is worth 9 credits.
Marketing is a 10 week internal assessment which requires business groups to complete a marketing campaign to promote their product to a target audience and is worth 6 credits.
Alternative Standard
A.S. 91380 v2 Business Studies 3.2 - Demonstrate understanding of strategic response to external factors by a business that operates in a global context - 4 credits
This external standard has been offered in the past and students could request to be entered for this in discussion with the teacher. It is expected students are not entered for more than 18 credits except for exceptional circumstances so most likely this would be in lieu of another standard.
This standard focuses on international business and strategic responses to external factors. Students undergo a case study on a specific NZ business that operates in a global context and they are expected to use this content within the examination.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Initial investment of about $100 to kickstart student's own business. Any costs after that are not expected but might be necessary.
