Unit purpose and aim(s)

This unit develops an understanding of the principles of business and the different legal formations by which organisations operate. You will be introduced to common organisational structures and learn to evaluate quantitative and qualitative data to make judgements about the types of structures suitable for different businesses.

You will learn about organisational infrastructure and examine physical and human resources and their role in delivering organisational performance.

You will develop problem solving skills through the use of case study activities which will enable you to apply the  theories and concepts covered in the unit in real-life contexts.
