Sixth Form Course Booklet 2013 - Bromsgrove School

One mandatory unit
Unit 7
Strategic Management. This unit draws the course together with a consideration of the strategic
decisions that can impact upon firms. A pre-released case study will test all aspects of the course. The
emphasis of the course is strategy, its nature, development, implementation and a critical evaluation in
the context of specific organisational and business situations. Candidates recognise potential conflicts
between the objectives of different stakeholders when making strategic decisions.
A variety of assessment techniques is used. Depending on numbers (and they are usually very high!) it is intended to
offer the full range of options.
APPROPRIATE SUBJECTS TO ACCOMPANY BUSINESS STUDIES
Any subject goes well with business studies. All subjects are currently combined with it but languages, mathematics,
geography and biology are particularly popular.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Students who study business studies can look forward to a wide range of career options including accountancy;
personnel; marketing research; public relations; advertising; account management (sales).
Every year, more Bromsgrove School students go on to study Business or Management at university than any other
subject.
