Business 9609

Cambridge International AS & A Level Business (9609) is designed to develop learners’ understanding of how businesses operate, make decisions, and respond to internal and external influences. The course introduces key business concepts and encourages learners to apply these concepts to realistic business situations.

Learners explore how organisations are structured and managed, how they market products and services, how operations are planned and controlled, and how financial information is used to support decision-making. Emphasis is placed on developing analytical, evaluative, and problem-solving skills.

The syllabus progresses from foundational AS Level topics to more advanced A Level content, where learners examine business strategy, organisational effectiveness, and financial performance in greater depth. This progression supports academic growth and prepares learners for higher education pathways.

Assessment focuses on knowledge, application, analysis, and evaluation, enabling learners to demonstrate clear reasoning and informed judgement in a business context.
