Level 2 Business Enterprise
This course will only run if there are sufficient numbers
The study of business and commerce is about how individuals and groups of people organise, plan and act to create and develop goods and services to satisfy customers. Commerce is influenced by the cultural, ethical, environmental, political and economic conditions of the day. Issues such as sustainability, citizenship, enterprise and globalisation are central to both business and the study of business. The knowledge and skills gained in Commerce and exposure to enterprise culture, will help shape 'creative, energetic, and enterprisin' young people who will go on to contribute to New Zealand's economic future. In Commerce, students develop their understanding of business theory and practices in a range of relevant contexts, through experiential as well as theoretical approaches to learning.
