Challenge your class to define key business words, assess new business ideas and explain business jargon – this resource gives definitions and important citations for business jargon in context. 200 10-minute challenges.

It’s near the end of term. You want to do something constructive. Yes, you have your own ideas but…here are 350+ mini-lessons that can be used in the classroom. Each idea is directly relevant to Business Studies – but may be expanded to include other related areas e.g. Economics and Accounting. Maybe the idea/task will take more than ten minutes – maybe there’s a whole lesson here!

Informative. Instructive. Useful.

In May 2001 Alex Hobbs came to the Oxford School of Learning for some tutorials in basic Economics. He hated the subject, he hated school and all he needed was a grade C for the AS level. Oxford School of Learning used Alex’s ‘hate’ of subject and school and explained a way of ‘escape’. He had ONLY four hours of individual tuition and then he took Business Studies – the full A level. He was taught on the basis that if he did not score a grade C or above then there would be no payment. We were paid! This book (co-written with his tutor) explains how he did it.

The application of lateral thinking to management and business studies will not only make your lessons more enjoyable but may pose questions that even the teacher finds difficult to answer. This manual shows how a different approach to business and Business Studies may lead to different answers and solutions to problems.
