If you enjoy watching the Apprentice or Dragon’s Den, or like the idea of buying shares or if you want to manage a business, then this is the subject for you. You need to want to know more about why people set up in business, what makes them successful and how they can do things even better.The subject is based around the concept of choice and decision making.
- Should Marks and Spencer move all of its operations online?
- Is it better to pay high dividends to shareholders or invest profits?
- What should Tesco do to reposition itself in the market?
Essentially the course is about debating and decision-making in a business context and as such it develops invaluable skills whatever you want to do next. You need to learn and understand the theory and then apply it to a context. The “right” answer will depend on the problem in front of you and you need to be able to think issues through logically, put together well reasoned arguments and make recommendations.
