Comprehensive Syllabus Coverage: From HR to Operations
We cover the entire IB Business Management Guide
Unit 1: Business Organization and Environment
This unit sets the foundation. We cover:
Types of Organizations: Sole traders, partnerships, corporations, cooperatives, and NGOs. We explore the liability and strategic implications of each.
Organizational Objectives: Vision, Mission, Aims, Objectives, and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).
Stakeholders: Mapping internal vs. external stakeholders and analyzing conflict resolution.
Growth Strategies: Ansoff Matrix, Mergers, Acquisitions, Joint Ventures, and Strategic Alliances.
Unit 2: Human Resource Management (HRM)
People are a business's most valuable asset. We help you master:
HR Planning: Workforce planning, labor turnover, and recruitment steps.
Organizational Structure: Tall vs. flat structures, centralization vs. decentralization, and Handy’s Shamrock organization.
Motivation & Leadership: We compare theories from Taylor (Scientific Management), Maslow (Hierarchy of Needs), Herzberg (Two-Factor), Adam (Equity), and Pink (Drive). We teach you how to critique these theories in essays.
Corporate Culture: Understanding the clash of cultures in M&As.
Unit 3: Finance and Accounts
The most technical unit. We turn confusion into clarity:
Sources of Finance: Long-term (shares, debentures) vs. short-term (overdrafts, trade credit).
Investment Appraisal: Calculating Payback Period, Average Rate of Return (ARR), and Net Present Value (NPV). We teach you to interpret what the numbers mean.

Ratio Analysis: Profitability, Liquidity, and Efficiency ratios. We teach you how to write a financial health report based on these numbers.
Break-Even Analysis: Drawing the chart, calculating the margin of safety, and analyzing the effects of price changes.
Unit 4: Marketing
More than just advertising. We cover:
Market Research: Primary vs. Secondary, Qualitative vs. Quantitative, and sampling methods.
The Marketing Mix (4Ps & 7Ps): Product (PLC, BCG Matrix), Price (Skimming, Penetration, Psychological), Promotion (ATL, BTL), and Place.
E-Commerce: The impact of technology on the marketing mix.
International Marketing: Strategies for entering global markets.
Unit 5: Operations Management
The logistics of business. We cover:
Production Methods: Job, Batch, Mass, and Cell production.
Lean Production: Kaizen, JIT (Just-in-Time), and Kanban.
Quality Management: QC vs. QA, and TQM (Total Quality Management).

Business Tools (The Toolkit)
We ensure you are proficient in using the "Toolkit" required for the new syllabus:
SWOT Analysis
Ansoff Matrix
STEEPLE Analysis
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Matrix
Business Plans
Decision Trees
Force Field Analysis
Gantt Charts
Specialized Internal Assessment (IA) Support
our Internal Assessment is a unique opportunity to secure 20-25% of your grade before you even sit an exam. However, the IA criteria are strict, and many students lose easy marks due to poor structure or lack of critical evaluation.
How We Help You Write a Level 7 IA:
Topic Selection & Feasibility: Most students fail because they choose a topic that is too broad (e.g., "Marketing at Apple"). We help you narrow it down to a specific, researchable question (e.g., "To what extent did the introduction of the loyalty card program increase retention at Local Café X?"). We ensure the company you choose allows for access to primary data (for SL/HL) or sufficient secondary data.
The Research Proposal: We assist you in drafting a rigorous proposal, selecting the correct business tools (e.g., a combination of a Quantitative tool like Investment Appraisal and a Qualitative tool like SWOT) to answer your question effectively.
Data Collection & Analysis: This is where the marks are. We teach you how to present your data (using clear charts, graphs, and tables) and, more importantly, how to analyze it. We move you away from descriptive writing ("The graph shows sales went up") to analytical writing ("The increase in sales correlates with the new promotional campaign, suggesting high price elasticity...").
Evaluation & Conclusion: We guide you to form a synthesized conclusion. We look at the limitations of your research, the reliability of your data sources, and provide recommendations that are realistic and actionable.
Review against the Rubric: Before you submit, we review your draft against the official IB criteria (Criterion A: Integration of tools, Criterion B: Analysis and evaluation, etc.) to ensure you haven't missed any technical requirements.
Note: We strictly adhere to academic integrity guidelines. We do not write the IA for you; we provide the coaching, feedback, and structural guidance necessary for YOU to produce excellent work.
Customized Tutoring for HL (Higher Level) and SL (Standard Level)
While HL and SL share a core syllabus, HL students face significantly higher demands. We adjust our tutoring accordingly
For Standard Level (SL) Students: We focus on solidifying the core concepts and ensuring your Internal Assessment is top-notch. The goal is clarity, confidence, and mastering the fundamental business tools required for Paper 1 and 2.
For Higher Level (HL) Students: We dive into the HL extension topics which are often the most complex. This includes detailed work on Critical Path Analysis (CPA), Decision Trees, intricate Ratio Analysis, and the nuances of International Marketing. We also provide dedicated coaching for the HL-specific Paper 3, which requires a completely different approach to the SL papers.
