How IB Business Management is assessed

IB Diploma Business Management is studied at Higher Level (HL) or Standard Level (SL). The course has five units: introduction to business management, human resource management, finance and accounts, marketing, and operations management. HL students study extra content and sit an additional paper.

Paper 1 (case study based on a pre-released statement): 25% at HL, 35% at SL.
Paper 2 (structured questions with a quantitative focus): 30% at HL, 35% at SL.
Paper 3 (social enterprise case study, HL only): 25%.
Internal assessment (Business Research Project): 20% at HL, 30% at SL.

Choose your level for details of each paper: IB Business Management HL or IB Business Management SL.

The Business Research Project

The internal assessment is a Business Research Project of up to 1,800 words on a real business issue. You use supporting documents, apply business management tools and analyse the issue through one of the course's key concepts.

Where students lose marks

Generic answers. Paper 1 and Paper 3 reward answers that use the case organisation's own details.
Calculation slips. Ratios, cash flow forecasts and investment appraisal need accurate, clearly set-out workings.
Tools without purpose. Using a SWOT or Ansoff matrix is only worth marks when it leads to a judgement.
