IB Business Management questions

This page follows the IB Business Management guide for first assessment in 2024.

The course connects human resources, finance and accounts, marketing, and operations in real organizational contexts.

HL has a distinct external assessment structure, including Paper 3, and a different weighting for the business research project.

The levels have different papers, timings and weightings, so a level is required before opening assessment details or resources.
