DP Year 1 Business Management

The DP Year 1 (Grade 11) Business Management curriculum follows the new syllabus (first teaching 2022, first assessment 2024), which is organized around five core units: Introduction to Business Management, Human Resource Management, Finance and Accounts, Marketing, and Operations Management . The course introduces four key interdisciplinary concepts—change, creativity, ethics, and sustainability—that serve as lenses for analysis, along with a prescribed Business Management Toolkit (BMT) of 15 tools and frameworks that students learn to apply across different business contexts . The assessment structure includes external examinations (Papers 1 and 2, plus Paper 3 for HL students only) and a common internal assessment (IA) where students complete a 1,800-word research project investigating a real-world business issue through the lens of one of the four key concepts . Standard Level (SL) requires 150 teaching hours while Higher Level (HL) requires 240 hours, with HL students studying additional extension topics and completing the social enterprise-focused Paper 3.
