WHAT WILL I LEARN and DO IN COMMERCE ?

 

I will:

  • Explore culture and values and how they shape and influence decisions made for organisations and/or businesses in Aotearoa. Case studies of businesses support this.

  • Make decisions that matter for an organisation (eg NGHS) using Financial and Non-Financial information. Evaluate the costs and benefits to key stakeholders via a presentation on the decision (eg buying a new minivan, planning a tournament trip).

  • Understand there are connections/ interdependence between whānau/ groups/ communities / organisations / businesses and government.  How do they all fit in the economy?

  • Explore case studies of businesses supported by models to evaluate how they operate in the marketplace and respond to changing market conditions and events.

  • Innovate and create a business idea as a team, taking it to a designated market day at school. Plan, cost out and keep financial records to price the idea and realise profit.
