Business Education Level 4 offers dynamic and up-to-date provision to cover the outcomes and experiences at Level 4 in Business Education and the Technologies relating to Business Education. The book acts as an access point to a range of textual and visual stimuli as well as linking to a range of digital resources designed to support the delivery of the outcomes in a motivating style that encourages active and collaborative learning. It is also a stimulus for further study and investigation of the outcomes and experiences, for which a mapping grid is provided to ensure full coverage, as well as pointing to outcomes and experiences in literacy and numeracy and other related areas.
The book offers two parts: chapter by chapter coverage of the outcomes and experiences with related activities followed by extension tasks which are designed to:
