About Business and Management
The world of Business covers so many diverse and relatable topics that it’s sure to keep your interest levels high. It’s also a subject that opens the door to so many high power career opportunities for you – from marketing and commercial law to finance and retail management.
You’ll look at the structures and strengths of businesses like Google, Harrods, M&S and Waitrose, and what is essential for their success, and what presents an opportunity or threat:
Does the culture of an organisation like Sports Direct or Ikea give it a competitive advantage?
Do Royal Mail or McDonald’s need to adapt to changes in their external environment to remain successful?
Does investment in innovation guarantee future profits for Apple and Uber?
Can a leader like Mike Ashley make a significant difference to the success of a business?
Do you agree that a business should operate sustainably with plastic packaging like Co-op, or renewable energy and recycling?
Learn to challenge yourself through presentations, webinars and seminars. You’ll go behind the scenes of organisations like cinemas or the Safari Park to see different business models in operation. You’ll plan your own business brunch meetings, marketing projects and event manage charity fundraisers. You can even create your own business with Barclays Lifeskills classes.
