The Best Study Practices for IB Business and Management

The absolute best way to study for IB Business and Management tests and cement what you've studied is to practice past paper questions as you learn new topics in the classroom . Writing about concepts you're studying helps solidify them in your memory.

Also, there's a chance that you'll see the ideas covered in old paper topics somewhere on the final IB exam! You can find past IB Business and Management SL/HL papers in our guide .

As mentioned above, if you're struggling with the material in class, don't wait to ask for help . The best way to ensure you do well on the IB test is to learn the material throughout the year. If you're struggling to understand class lectures, you should also be reading the corresponding chapter in a textbook or study guide.

Common Study Mistakes for IB Business and Management

If you're having trouble in your IB Business and Management SL or HL class, you will need to seek additional help fast so you don't fall behind. Master the material during the school year and you'll be guaranteed to rock your IB papers!

But that doesn't mean you don't need to study to do well. The two most common study mistakes are as follows:

  • Ignoring the material you don't understand in the classroom: If you didn't understand it in the classroom, seek help elsewhere, such as by using this IB Business and Management study guide or hiring a tutor.
  • Waiting to learn the material until a week or two before the papers: There is a lot of material to master for the IB Business and Management class. A week or two is not enough time to get down everything you'll need to know (that's why the course is taught over a couple of years!). Be sure to learn the material as you're supposed to learn it in class.

Business management

The business management course is designed to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of business management theories, as well as their ability to apply a range of tools and techniques.

Students learn to analyse, discuss and evaluate business activities at local, national and international levels. The course covers a range of organizations from all sectors, as well as the socio-cultural and economic contexts in which those organizations operate.

The course covers the key characteristics of business organization and environment and the business functions of human resource management, finance and accounts, marketing and operations management. Links between the topics are central to the course. Through the exploration of six underpinning concepts (change, culture, ethics, globalization, innovation and strategy), the course allows students to develop a holistic understanding of today’s complex and dynamic business environment. The conceptual learning is firmly anchored in business management theories, tools and techniques and placed in the context of real world examples and case studies.

The course encourages the appreciation of ethical concerns at both a local and global level. It aims to develop relevant and transferable skills, including the ability to: think critically; make ethically sound and well-informed decisions; appreciate the pace, nature and significance of change; think strategically; and undertake long term planning, analysis and evaluation. The course also develops subject-specific skills, such as financial analysis.

The aims of the business management course at HL and SL are to:

  • encourage a holistic view of the world of business
  • empower students to think critically and strategically about individual and organizational behaviour
  • promote the importance of exploring business issues from different cultural perspectives
  • enable the student to appreciate the nature and significance of change in a local, regional and global context
  • promote awareness of the importance of environmental, social and ethical factors in the actions of individuals and organizations
  • develop an understanding of the importance of innovation in a business environment.

Syllabus outline

Key features of the assessment model.

External assessment for HL and SL students consists of two written examination papers. Paper one is based on a pre-seen case study issued in advance, and paper two consists of structured questions based on stimulus material and an extended response question that assesses students’ understanding of the key concepts of the course.

Internal assessment for HL students is a research project and for SL students a written commentary. In both tasks, students study real world business organizations. These are internally marked by subject teachers and then externally moderated by IB examiners.

Overview: IB Business Management HL/SL (First Assessment 2024)

Thịnh Nguyễn Hoàng

Note: The Business Management course changed recently. This article goes through the IB Business Management HL/SL course for the May 2024 cohort and beyond.

Do you want to investigate the relationship between people, businesses, and society while developing yourself as a creative, compassionate business leader or entrepreneur? Or are you interested in finding out how a variety of internal and external stakeholders are impacted by business decisions and how these choices are affected by internal and external factors? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then IB Business Management might be a subject for you!

IB Business Management courses focus on business operations, management procedures, and decision-making. It consists of 5 units:

  • Introduction to Business Management
  • Human Resource Management
  • Finance and Accounts
  • Operations Management

Most changes made to the IB Business Management curriculum are related to different subtopics. For example, subtopic 1.2 Types of Organization in the old syllabus has been renamed as 1.2 Types of Business Entities in the new syllabus. In other cases, subtopics have been moved to other units entirely. For instance, 3.2 Break Even Analysis has been moved to Unit 5.5. There are also some new additions to the syllabus. For example, topic 5.8 Management Information System to prepare students for the 21st century.

The IB also introduces the Business Management Toolkit in the syllabus, a collection of 15 tools, theories, and concepts that students can use to examine various multidisciplinary business contexts across the curriculum and in assessments (IAs and EE). You can find the official subject brief with the 2024 curriculum for SL here and HL here .

Key Concepts

Key concepts will help students to explore each unit from interdisciplinary and multiple perspectives. The new curriculum will start each unit with conceptual understanding statements that include the following four key concepts:

  • Sustainability

Key concepts can be used to summarize significant concepts and fundamental methods that are at the center of the unit. For those who are studying the old syllabus (M16 – N23), you might notice only two in CUEGIS (Change, Culture, Ethics, Globalization, Innovation, and Strategy) remain – “ Change ” and “ Ethics ”. More importantly, students are required to use key concepts in their Internal Assessment when they need to solve real-world business problems. That is in addition to applying their business management tools and theories to solve the issues. More information about key concepts can be found here .

IB Business Management Assessment

Paper 1 (sl/hl).

Both SL and HL students now have approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete Paper 1. While still based on an extended case study, it will now only be partly pre-released as a 200-word introduction and a list of topics providing the theme and context. These topics will require about five hours of research from the students. It evaluates students’ understanding of business topics that were not in the syllabus to  account for the dynamic nature of business. During the exam, students will receive a booklet with an unrevealed case study to use (800 – 1,000 words). Paper 1 could be on any of the five units, except for HL only topics. Paper 1 is out of 30 marks: 20 for section A and 10 for section B. This makes up 35% of your course grade for SL and 25% for HL.

Paper 2 (SL/HL)

In Paper 2, most of the questions are quantitative and demand in-depth analysis and evaluation utilizing business theories and techniques, but they will be similar to the old syllabus format. An examination booklet will be given to students, including stimulus material, as well as charts, tables, and infographics. 

All five units of the syllabus can be assessed. Due to additional material that covers HL-only topics, section A has one additional question for HL students. One of the section B stimulus options for SL students can be focused on social enterprise (non-profit or for-profit organizations). SL students will have 1 hour 30 minutes and HL students will have 1 hour 45 minutes to complete the paper. 

For section A, SL students must respond to both sets of structured questions based on the case study (total of 20 marks) and HL students will be required to respond to three sets of structured questions (total of 30 marks). Both SL and HL students must respond to 1 out of 2 questions in section B, along with an extended response question based on the stimulus material, for a total of 20 points. For SL and HL, Paper 2 accounts for 35% and 30% of students’ course grades, respectively.

Paper 3 (HL Only)

The new Paper 3 requires students to identify and describe a human need and any potential organizational obstacles that a social entrepreneur might encounter to address this need. The paper is intended to align with the CAS program’s goals, the IB mission statement, and the goals of the new course. Stimulus material will consist of a brief introduction, followed by excerpts from emails, Twitter feeds, and newspaper articles. Students must complete a single compulsory structure set of questions based on that stimulus material provided in 1 hour and 15 minutes . Students will then suggest a plan of action as a strategic move for the social enterprise. For HL, Paper 3 accounts for 25% of students’ course grades.

Internal Assessment

For the new syllabus, the Internal Assessment will be common for both SL and HL. For SL students, the IA is relatively more important because it makes up 30% of their course grade, compared to 20% for HL students. Utilizing one of the four key concepts, students are required to conduct research on a current or existing real business issue affecting a specific organization. Their research questions can be forward or backward-looking and are based on secondary research questions. The word count limit for the Business IA is 1800 words. More information about Internal Assessment can be found here .

IB Business Management is thought to be a relatively straightforward course. The exercise is straightforward if you are familiar with the material covered in the five parts of your syllabus, the case study you get before the exam, and maximizing your mark on your IA. This course will give you insight into all principles: marketing, business organization, human resource management, finance, operations, etc. I strongly recommend that you choose IB Business Management if you plan to study a business-related major at university.

What is this M24 Case Study all about?

The IB Organization has released a pre-released case study featuring "Before One PLC," a company that organizes music festivals since 200.

This case study is centered around the idea that global music festivals are on the rise, featuring diverse locations and genres, from commercial events on farmland to community-led gatherings in public parks. One PLC (BON), a European company organizing festivals since 2001, transitioned to a public limited company in 2016 for expansion.

With 60 permanent employees and reliance on temporary workers, BON hosts five festivals yearly, paying farmers an average of $100,000 per event. Cleanup costs average $250,000. The festival season runs from May to August, with each event spanning Friday to Sunday, requiring two weeks for setup and one for dismantling. BON faces challenges in environmental sustainability.
