IB curricula stress command terms that students are expected to master on the official exams, and IB Business Studies is no exception. This resource consists of two worksheets for learning the easiest (Level I) command terms. Worksheet 1 gives a silly question and answer, then a business question and answer, for each term. Then the students have to write 3 examples of their own using unit 1 of their course. The worksheet was done for group work. Of course, it could be easily modified for any other unit, or done as an individual assignment. Worksheet 2 is a matching activity covering the same command terms, also set up for group work but could be done individually as well. There is a mark scheme for Worksheet 2 but not worksheet 1 (because answers will vary).

The IB Business Management course places great emphasis on the six “CUEGIS” concepts: Change, Culture, Ethics, Globalization, Innovation, and Strategy. Accordingly, paper 2 of the official IB examination contains an entire section, section C, in which students must discuss two of the CUEGIS concepts with reference to an organization of their choice. The resulting essay represents a significant percentage of the student’s final IB grade for the course. This resource is a multipage packet specifically designed as structured preparation for the CUEGIS question. It explains the nature of the CUEGIS task, then guides students through the choice of an appropriate organization (in my opinion, an unwise choice can be costly in terms of exam results). It then suggests some basic search strategies to assist students in finding more information about their chosen organization. Last, there are several pages which students can use to make notes about the organization, organized according to the CUEGIS terms. Suggested use: duplicate and pass out 1 copy of packet to each student. Guide them through the first page, then allow class time to choose an organization. I recommend discussing the choice with individual students. After making a choice (some teachers advocate preparing more than one organization but in my opinion this is an unwise use of limited study time), give them additional class time to make notes; perhaps 2-3 hours. Float to keep them on task. At our school we use this resource in conjunction with Level7’s “50 CUEGIS essays” resource, which provides examples of well written essays and teaches the marking criteria in more detail.

This is a structured document intended to assist IB Business Management instructors with accurate marking of the internal assessment (IA) for the Business Management course at HL level. The document also allows instructor comments to be made for each criterion. The document can be used for internal marking purposes, or as a “Teacher Marking Comments Document” for upload to IBIS. To clarify, the IBO specifies that IAs uploaded to the IB Information System (IBIS) should be accompanied by a Teacher Marking Comments Document. The IB does not specify the exact nature of that document; it could be a simple grid or handwritten notes. However, this downloadable document contains all marking criteria and descriptors along with sufficient space for marking notes, so it can easily serve as a teacher marking comments document for the purpose of IBIS upload. For this intended use, teachers would print out a copy for each HL IA, fill in marks and comments for each criterion, append the completed document to the student’s IA, then upload a scanned version to IBIS when needed.

This zip pack contains material for packet #7 of the Accounting and Finance packet series for IB Business Management , covering Production Planning/Inventory Management. Specific topics include: capacity utilization, productivity, cost to buy vs. cost to make, inventory control charts. This packet contains the following files: Accounting & Finance Packet 7.Production Planning & Inventory Mgmt.pdf This is basically a series of scaffolded worksheets for student use. They are designed to be printed as stapled sets and worked on paper by the student. Although using them in digital form is possible, it is not recommended; if students were to work and submit only the answers on separate paper, they would be deprived of most of the scaffolding for answers provided by the packet. The packet can be used summatively or formatively. Due to the large amount of content, if the packet is made a summative, I recommend that it be graded selectively (i.e., only mark a subset of pages or problems). The packet could also be done as group work, although in my opinion that would diminish its value as weaker students may not receive the structured instruction they need. Accounting & Finance Packet 7.Production Planning & Inventory Mgmt.mark scheme.pdf Self explanatory. I request that teachers do NOT make the digital file available to students. These days, digital resources tend to instantly spread everywhere on the Net, with the result that other teachers cannot use the packet for a summative any longer. As an alternative, the mark scheme can be shown on projector, or distributed to groups in paper form. Teachers’ Guide.rtf
