It helps students evaluate business decisions in a realistic context, recognising the balance between commercial success, social responsibility, and the needs of different groups.

scheduleWhy now? Influences on Business Decisions is delivered after Decision-Making Techniques because students have already learned how businesses analyse options and make strategic choices. This topic develops that understanding by exploring the factors that shape those decisions, including corporate culture, stakeholder interests, ethics, and differing business objectives.
