How to excel in Business and Management
1. Start coursework ASAP!
Always prepare in advance, especially when it comes to your Internal Assessment or Extended Essay. Do your research and begin brainstorming for your topic, because your prepwork relies on external sources and other people for surveys etc which all need time to collect, analyse and formatted neatly.
2. Know your statistics and finances
All businesses exist for profits and it is critical to know your figures well. You will learn costs, sales, revenue which all in turn mean dollars and cents for the company. If you have studied accounting before, you will have an edge over your classmates when it comes down to presenting your arguments and project. Being a business leader, you will also need to learn the key figures in a balance sheet when addressing shareholders.
3. Think like a business leader
A good business leader will need to have solutions to any business problem or issue that arises from any situation.
You will need to learn how to think like one. Understanding the case study first before applying the appropriate business model to arrive at the best outcome, is what a topnotch business leader has to do day-in-day-out. You will need to face the consequences of a bad decision so imagining yourself as a business leader now will give you an insight of what the future holds.
4. Study Smart!
Devise your lesson notes, read up in advance before tutorials, join online discussions about the latest business trends... all these will help towards attaining that coveted 7 points you want. There is no shortcut, you will need to put in effort and hard work, on top of studying smart if you want to ace the IB business & management exam.
5. Make a stand!
In the everyday life of a businessman, one has to make decisions that could go either way. You have to show to the examiner that you have a set of arguments behind every decision that will impact your business.
It is not the number of points you have, but the strength of an argument backed up with empirical data or business model, which will convince the IB examiner that you know your stuff well.
