When developing or formulating the business strategies you need to do following:

  1. SWOT analysis first, i.e. analysing the internal and external environments.
  2. When you do the SWOT analysis you need to perform essential business roles like brainstorming, creative and critical thinking, use the delphi techniques, etc.

The next step is to implement the strategies. Implementation of the strategies is at three levels:

  1. Strategic level
  2. Tactical level and
  3. Operational level

The last step is evaluation of the strategies.

I think that this is a good contribution which can be used fruitfully and this can also address major challenges that we experience since 66% of the content is new.

I agree with your statement that brainstorming and creative thinking can be a useful tool when teaching the topic of Swot analysis. I also find that using creative problem solving techniques such as Provocation in most of the Business Studies topics can be very rewarding and create a large amount of interest and critical thinking amongst the learners. I find this tool especially useful when dealing with the topic of personnel and recruitment as many learners struggle to conceptualize the fact that their own work ethic and behaviour in the Business Studies class relates to employment factors. This tool gets the learners to  think and interpret the qualities that they, as future employers of South Africa, will find valuable and look for.

SWOT analysis are also extremely useful to practice on school level as it is extremly important aspect when learners want to leave school and study at univercity level.

Critical thinking in the school environment is very important but how do you get the unmotivated learners to partisipate? In business studies they learn through experiance and participation, aswell as group work and research. I know the learners have to give there opinions but some of the learners don't partisipate and feel cornered when you ask them questions. What can I do to get them more motivatede?

Business Studies as a subject should be implemented in such a way that it is linked to thhe learners real life situations.  There are so many topics in business studies that can be taught in a practical and interesting manner.

I have come to realise that the topic of a business plan is one that is usually done in the class and without any attention given to it but I believe that this topic can be done on a big scale especially in grade 9 (EMS) when a market day can be held.

I have found that the best way to get unparticipating children to join in a lesson, is to create a topic that they like or that they can relate to.

And also when doing group work you can give them tasks or a position that require's responsibillity.

Re: BCM: Business Studies

I agree with you, because since getting a job is a problem in our country is a problem, one need to choose carreers that will at the end of the day end up having nothing to do. so I strongly advice those who are still deciding to choose a carreer to choose business studies as one of their subjects.

Re: BCM: Business Studies

I enjoy teaching Business Studies because the subject is very practical, you can relate it to the personal experiences and the current issues that is happening around us.
You can make the class very lively and enjoyable if you have a passion for teaching Business Studies.
I think I have the power to create more business man or women which our country need at this moment.

After analysing the subject business studies to my learner, I have realise that there are entrepreneurs of tomorrow amongst them. Some of them (learner), they have started selling some sweets simbas etc in school for them to practice some business skills e.g management/ operation skill, atleast so far they do not give their friends for free instead they will wait for them to come and buy.
