Hey Guys. IB started in my school just 2 months ago, and I'm finding Business Management to be difficult, as I have it at HL and have never studied it before. I've practised all the case studies given in the textbook, and still, I don't seem to score well. So, can someone share some case studies with me, especially for Unit 1? Thanks in advance.

Hello, guys! I am currently working on my research project in Business & management HL. I know exactly, that I want to investigate the relationship between staff motivation and efficiency of the company. I have already gathered plenty of information about motivation and efficiency, but I still do not have any company to work on. Can you give some tips, advice on how/where I should search for possible organizations and what I should take into account when making my choice? I am looking forward to your replies^^

Hey, I am an MYP student, currently planning for DP. I consider my self as a scientifically & mathematically inclined student. To full fill my group 3 choice for my full IB diploma, I am stuck in whether or not I take Business HL or SL. Initially, I tried for Economics, but classes are full in economics. But I still like to know whether Business is easier than Economics and if YES, which levels of business should I choose.

Hi... Can someone tell me how to study BM?. i am taking BM HL as an online course and i really regret it. Can someone recommend a book and a revision guide that would help me at least get a 5? as well as I've noticed that BM is not only memorization, so can someone also recommend a way of studying this subject 😢

What kind of effect does legislation have on a negative externality of consumption diagram? Do production costs increase and thus supply shifts to the left? Or does demand decrease? Or does it depend on the context and both could happen?

Hello all, I am Pre-IB student looking for options to take Economics either SL or HL in DP. My school does not offer these courses, so I wish to take them online. I already decided that I am going to take Philosopy SL online due to my passion for the subject, but I am unsure of Economics. How is the learning environment in Pamoja online courses? What are its strengths and weaknesses in terms of its ability to foster academic development? Especially, what is the degree to which the teachers are supportive? Less importantly, are there any other online courses? I heard of the Elite in London, but I know little of them. Thank you very much in advance

In my Economics IA on Microeconomics, I mixed labeled the Supply curve as the Demand Curve and vice versa (I actually analyzed the diagram the way I drew it, so it shouldn't have affected my explanations). Should I be worried?

My BM teacher isnt exactly radiating knowledge or help when it comes to the IA and. Also isnt too fond of me which is why he’s shut down 3 of my IA proposals. I have a new idea which he said is “Viable” but I would love a second opinion on it since he doesnt have the best reputation and I’m personally at odds with him. Also, if this idea is as viable as he says, I’m desperate for help as to where to start because frankly, between being utterly frustrated and not the best BM student, I’m very lost. Thanks!!!!!

Hi, I am doing my economics commentary and I was wondering about the tariff diagram: For a small importing country 'A' that has a trade agreement with a large country 'B' to eliminate tariffs on country B's exports to country A, how would you draw the tariff diagram? For the Sw curve would you instead denote it as Scountry B? And would the curve be perfectly elastic for the Supply-curve if country B is a "large" country? Thanks so much for any help! All input is appreciated.

I'm in BM HL. My teacher is very inexperienced and doesn't know how to teach. I need to self- study it completely. How do I approach the subject? I have the Paul Hoang textbook, which I think if I do thoroughly will clear all my concepts. However, still I don't know how to write the answers properly. Any resource that you will sugges so that I understand how to write the answers? I basically consider myself without a BM teacher. Any help from you will be greatly appreciated.

Hey! I am writing my first article for IA from Microeconomics. I know that I have to focus on this particular unit (not brining up other topic from our syllabus). I am not sure whether what I want to describe is clearly a micro-case. It's an article about imposition of minimum wage in Ontario, the potential effect of which would be job losses. As the topic is a microeconomic one, I'm not sure whether the solution that I aim to propose is (unemployment is a part of MACROeconomy in the syllabus). I was thinking about offering subsidies to firms to increase the production and therefore, the demand for workers? But I'm not sure. Thanks for your opinio…

Hey guys, I've recently been told by my teachers that I should start preparing my Extended Essay. I'm currently in G12 and I'm planning to write my essay on Business and Management. I would like suggestions of topics. I've read that if you have access to a primary source of information it can be very useful for you during the research process. My dad works as Business Unit Controller in Pirelli and I was talking to him about which topic should I write about involving Pirelli. I've had some ideas like "How does Global Warming affect the sales of Winter Tires", "How has the Chinese market invasion affected the production and sales of tyres in Europe". Taking in ac…

I am in year 11 and I am doing AQA GSCE Psychology, which I really am not enjoying. I get A's and a few A*'s. I started doing Economics GSCE but changes to Psychology within the first two weeks because our teacher was extremely bad, meaning I have no prior economics knowledge. I'm extremely oriented towards humanities and my math isn't that good. I want to study Politics or Law in university. Right now, I really don't want to do Psychology for IB (we need to choose our subjects by next week) and I have a read a bit of Economics and it seems really interesting. My strong point is my memory. SO 1)How hard is it to get a 7 in HL econ? 2)Should I do it? (taking into…
