13 Steps to Success in A/S Level Business Studies

Subject: Business Studies and Economics
Level: Secondary
Age Group: 16 - 18
Order Number: 2014

This unique resource consists of 13 chapters covering all the essential areas of the A/S -level Business Studies syllabus and is designed to encourage students to think and to utilise resources other than mainstream texts when learning about business.

Each chapter presents a number of key elements, offering clear definitions for key words, concepts and buzz words before progressing to the core points. Each chapter begins and ends with a varying number of quotations illustrating the key issues featured. Comprehension questions are provided to assist students in consolidating the topics covered and to help to set them in context. An exhaustive list of website addresses also provides ample material for independent research.

This resource is not the kind of book that is read once and then put to one side. Neither should each line and paragraph be pored over, memorised and then regurgitated. Rather, it is a book to be 'dipped into', to be adapted to different levels of study. The overriding intention of this resource is to encourage students to think independently about Business Studies and to be able to apply what they have learned as they progress through the text.
