This is the first title in the "GCSE A-Z" series, and it provides a guide to all the key terms within the increasingly popular area of business studies. Each entry begins with a one-sentence definition, and is followed by explanation and examples. The more important the term, the more detailed the entry. Entries are cross-referenced, to enable students to build up knowledge of particular topics for use in answering examination questions. This handbook was written by the Head of the Subject Committee for SEG GCSE Business Studies, but it would also be suitable for Foundation and Intermediate Level GNVQ courses with business content.
