Higher Business Management

Update!

2009-12-11T16:57:00.000-08:00

I will still post materials and resources on this blog, though I have been putting pupil work and their study needs on my Higher BM 2009 blog and the Higher BM 2010 blog.

But for much of the stuff that will remain for a while, I'll put on here and the appropriate pages.

So for example, if you go to Operations, you will see my Methods of Production video.

Enjoy!

Some of you are having problems with Scribd, so I have also uploaded the notes to www.docstoc.com

You will find my notes available for download at these links:

BM Handbooks

2008-11-26T16:52:00.000-08:00

I have uploaded my Higher Business Management Handbooks on to Scribd. I joined this last year but I went with Google Docs because I felt it would tie in better with Blogger. Only problem is Google Docs only allows uploads of 500k!!! You know me, my stuff is always bigger (and naturally better!).

Anyway you will find the links to each of the units here:

BUSINESS ENTERPRISE UNIT

O7 Finance

O8 Human Resources
http://www.scribd.com/doc/8463272/BM-Handbook-HRM

Remember these handbooks do contain the core notes but also I have included many of the handouts and worksheets that I issue. They also have some excellent case studies distributed by Times 100 and I also have included Business news stories I think are interesting and relevant.

You need to get into the habit of reading the Business news EVERY day. You may find some examples that can help you explain a key concept in the exam.
