loser123726 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Currently, my school is using an A-Level textbook which is not completely relevent to the IB syllabus. I bought the revision guide published by the Oxford Study Courses. The notes within it is pretty good, but it usually skips some sub-modules. I tried to write notes for myself, but I always don't have significant amount of materials. Are there useful business books or notes on the web relevent to the IB syllabus?? I really need them for my study sessions~! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 What you could do is go to: http://www.bized.ac.uk Hunt around on there, they have notes for the IB syllabus. There are no B&M books per se. I have to make do with an A-Level book and a copy of the syllabus. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan91 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Theres a new book out by IBID for business management it is thorough and follows the syllabus Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcarre10 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 For Students i believe the best book is the Business Studies Third Edition book by Dave Hall Rob Jones and Carlo Raffo Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenSara Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 For Students i believe the best book is the Business Studies Third Edition book by Dave Hall Rob Jones and Carlo RaffoWe have that book in class and I'm not that fond of it, while it does give great pros and cons with different business methods etc., it does not follow the business syllabus and that's confusing and annoying.

Abu Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 For Students i believe the best book is the Business Studies Third Edition book by Dave Hall Rob Jones and Carlo RaffoI quite like that book, it has quite a lot of detail, so one can even self study from it. Although, as the person above said, if you're gonna use this book, then it's imperative to have a copy of the syllabus document and look through the index to find your required chapter of study. It's not adapted to the IB syllabus.Also, I wouldn't get the OSC-IB study guides for B&M, they're not that detailed and not very well written wither.

Shrutika Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Im a May 09' B&M HL candidate alsoand our school gave us the Third Edition business studies book aswellI find it completely useless at times as it is so big and thick and rambles off about useless stuff at times though it is the only basis i have for beggining my notesI do wish there was a better business and management textbook for the IB out there.Right now what I do is i get the syllabus out and just make my notes according to that, using the big fat textbook along with the internet etc to make my notes!

charlotte.kenny Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hey all,Have you guys (2009 candidates) started your B&M IA's yet? I'm doing HL and I think I have all my data and stuff, but I'm really struggling with the format of the whole project. Like, I'm not sure about you guys, but we got this "guide" and it says we have to have this section in the main body called "main results and findings" and I'm just not entirely sure what to put there. I know this sounds like the dumbest question ever, but I'm really iffy about putting things in there because I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. Are we supposed to put like, data and figures and stuff in there? Are we supposed to talk about different theories in there?My IA is about this restaurant near where I live, and they're replacing some of their cooking equipment basically, and what I'm working on is more of a financial topic, like investment appraisals etc. Having said that, I'm going around my area, looking up quotes and things for the specific item the restaurant is looking for, as the restaurant have specified they wanted certain characteristics in the equipment (size, heat capacity etc), so I'm going to be doing the whole investment appraisal deal to figure out which machine is the one they should get. But my problem is that in this example HL IA that I saw, this person had all these random "results and findings" in the section, and I'm having a really hard time figuring out exactly what I should have in mine Sorry if that was a total waste of time and incoherent! I'm just really desperately stuck!- Charlie.P.S. sorry, one more question: whereabouts in the first section are you putting your introduction? I tried asking my teacher and he said he wasn't fussed, but I kind of am, so, yeah, just another thing. Sorry!!P.P.S. this sounds to me like another stupid question, but are we ALLOWED to be talking about this? I'm really sorry if we aren't, and I'm really sorry if the answer to this question is obvious! I'm just new to this site, really, and I don't really know anything :$ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquarius Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I believe that using A-levels textbook would give much more details for students especially for whom doing HL B&M. However, it would be hard in terms of revising because of the difference within the structure of syllabus. At the moment I am using the Business Studies 3rd Edition but I am going to buy IBID book sooner or later. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roro Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Helloi think you should go to Amazon.com and type IB Business Books. I was in your situation last year and i did that. It helped me greatly. I also wrote in google IB Business books SL and a great selection were shown to me in which i bought a few. Buy the books that you think can help you. It cant hurt because in the end all this information is required in ur last examination.Bye. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
