Level 2 Business Organisation and Market Research

Course Description

Big Question: How does business acumen assist us as we plan our future pathways?

The purpose of this course is to explore how and why large businesses in New Zealand make operational decisions in response to internal and external factors and plan, take to market, review and then refine a business activity incorporating a community well-being focus. 

This course will give the learner an opportunity to answer marketing questions and be involved in solving business problems, focussing on Marketing Research, and learning how to motivate staff.  We will cover topics that look at the changing face of business as more and more organisations move their stores online.  Assessments are a mix of internal projects and external examination.

This course creates pathways to Level 3 Commerce or Business Organisation and Marketing Strategies.
