The second edition of Business Studies in Action Preliminary Course along with the third edition of Business Studies in Action HSC Course have been thoroughly revised and updated to meet the requirements of the Stage 6 Business Studies syllabus for New South Wales. The Business in Action series provides students with contemporary, engaging and accessible texts covering all compulsory topic areas. An awareness of the learning needs of students is the basis of the writing and construction of these texts. Student friendly language is used throughout, and concepts are consistently explained in straightforward terms. Business theory and practice is linked through the extensive use of Snapshots, each accompanied by a set of questions. Revision exercises at regular stages check and extend student understanding in line with outcomes.
