BUSINESS ACTIVITY, CLASSIFICATION AND GROWTH

Introduction

Welcome to your IGCSE Business Studies course! 

This first module will study the purpose of business activity as well as identifying the different roles and characteristics of both the private sector and the public sector.  The module concludes by looking at the role of the entrepreneurs in business. 

Before you start work, please make sure that you have read the Course Guide and reviewed the CAIE syllabus.

Wolsey Hall courses are based on a supported self-study approach.  Our courses provide clear guidance on how to work through your coursebook and also links to supporting resources.   

Your course tutor will provide feedback to help you progress by means of module assignments which you complete and submit for marking. 

It is important that you follow our guidance on each Canvas topic page.  Our Programme of Study (PoS) shows how each topic is linked to your main coursebook and the CAIE syllabus.  It is a good idea to print this document and have it readily available in your folder/exercise book.
