The overall teaching purposes of the Strategies and Management are:
Strategies and Management focuses on equipping students with essential skills in strategic thinking and effective management practices. The subject emphasizes critical analysis, decision-making, and leadership principles, preparing learners to navigate complex organizational environments. Through case studies and practical applications, students explore various management theories, strategic planning methodologies, and the impact of globalization on business operations. This subject aims to foster a holistic understanding of how to devise and implement strategies that drive success in diverse sectors.
The overall teaching purposes of the Business, Accounting and Financial Studies (BAFS) are:
- To provide students at senior secondary level with fundamental business knowledge and skills, and develop their positive values and attitudes, so that they can fulfil their roles
competently and confidently as consumers, investors, employees and/or entrepreneurs; - To develop students’ generic skills in research, analysis, leadership, team building, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving and transfer them to different domains; and
- To explore different aspects of business to prepare students for life, for learning and for employment.
The BAFS curriculum offers two strands of study for students to choose from, namely:
Strand (A) – Accounting Strand
Strand (B) – Business Management Strand
Each strand comprises a compulsory and an elective part to strike a balance between breadth and depth of four main business areas, which include two common topics in the compulsory part, i.e. ‘Business Environment’ and ‘Basics of Personal Financial Management’, as well as ‘Accounting’ and ‘Business Management’, with one area covered in the compulsory part for basic understanding and the other in the elective part for in-depth study. The compulsory part provides a broad-based foundation of business for students to prepare for an in-depth study of concepts and knowledge in specific modules in the elective part. It is thus important that the concepts and learning elements in the compulsory part should be integrated, synthesised and re-examined in the related module in the elective part whenever appropriate.
