Business Studies - Te Mātai Pakihi

Students will learn how a business operates and work collaboratively in a group of their own choice to form and run their company. Students will be required to produce a business idea that has a community focus/outcome. Students will conduct market research, learn how to finance, promote and sell their product or service. They will take their product to market with the aim to sell enough to cover costs and make a profit. There is an opportunity for students to compete in the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) which will further develop business and personal growth. The last topic allows students to investigate different motivational theories used by businesses in the community. This course is all internally accessed.
