The business studies area of Social Sciences Online provides curriculum and assessment information, resources, and useful links to support the teaching and learning of business studies in years 11–13.

"Business is influenced by and impacts on the cultural, ethical, environmental, political, and economic conditions of the day. Issues such as sustainability, citizenship, enterprise, and globalisation are central to both business and the study of business."

Ministry of Education, 2009

  
The study of business is about how individuals and groups of people organise, plan, and act to create and develop goods and services to satisfy customers.
