Abstract

This short course is a learning module designed for Year 11 students studying the NSW Preliminary Business Studies 9.2 Business Management course. It is structured around the peer-reviewed project that is inspired by Rotary International's Interact groups. These are groups of 12-18 years old who have addressed a need in their community. This learning module identifies the three management approaches of classical, behavioural and contingency and their applications in coordinating the key business functions of marketing, operations, human resources and finance. The learning module also introduces students to the important consideration of personal ethics and their significance in leading a business enterprise.
