IB DP Business Management SL
Business Management SL is the Standard Level course for Business Management. It covers how organisations operate and make decisions, from human resources and finance to marketing and operations.
Standard Level (SL) courses cover the essential content and skills in roughly 150 teaching hours, giving a solid foundation without the added depth and breadth of Higher Level.
What students will do
- Analyse business cases
- Apply tools and theories
- Make justified recommendations
Internal assessment
Students complete an internal assessment based on real organisations, which contributes to the final grade alongside the external exams.
Practise using evidence: for every point you make, name the source, example or data that supports it.
Should I choose HL or HL?
Choose HL for subjects you enjoy most or may study at university, and SL for the rest. Your teacher or DP coordinator can advise on the right balance.
