DP Year 2 Business Management

The DP Year 2 (Grade 12) Business Management curriculum is the culmination of the two-year course, offered at both Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL), and is organized around five core units: Business Organization and Environment, Human Resource Management, Finance and Accounts, Marketing, and Operations Management . In the final year, students deepen their understanding of these units, with HL students covering additional advanced topics (such as organizational planning tools, organizational culture, efficiency ratio analysis, the extended marketing mix, and advanced operations management) and preparing for the distinctive Paper 3, which focuses on analyzing and recommending action plans for a social enterprise based on stimulus material . The course is built around four key interdisciplinary concepts—change, ethics, sustainability, and creativity—which students integrate into their common 1,800-word Internal Assessment (IA) , a research project investigating a real-world business issue or problem faced by an actual organization . External assessment consists of two papers for SL and three for HL, with Paper 1 based on a pre-released statement and Paper 2 featuring a quantitative focus and structured questions, all designed to develop students' analytical, evaluative, and strategic thinking skills for the dynamic global business environment.
