Business Studies A Level

You should…. Research two businesses 1) An International Business and 2) A UK based Business and link this to the 6 questions listed below.  These six questions link to the 6 units you will study in your first year of study. 

 This will provide you with knowledge of two Businesses that you hopefully can relate to theory over the two years, as well and learning a few elements for units without releasing it.
