2.
This Unit complements Business Decision Areas: Marketing and Operations (Intermediate 2). Between them they consider the main functional areas of business organisations. Neither of these Units covers the place of functional areas in the structure of an organisation. Candidates following the Course in Business Management (Intermediate 2) are expected to cover these issues as part of the Course content. Other candidates may find a brief introduction to these issues helpful.

This Unit is also closely linked to Business Decision Areas: Finance and Human Resources Management (Higher). Hence, the context of both is very similar, although candidates taking only this Unit are not expected to demonstrate as wide a range of contexts, for example, in the type of organisations covered, nor are they expected to have mastered a greater amount of content.

The emphasis in this Unit is on explanation rather than on analysis which is required at Higher level.

The Unit, like its Higher counterpart, is set in the context of contemporary UK society and, wherever possible, current examples of decisions which businesses have to take should be used. Examples of organisations in Scotland are likely to be particularly suitable and these should include voluntary organisations, such as charities, and publicly-funded organisations, as well as different forms of profit-making bodies from sole-traders to large multinational companies. Hence, the particular local situation in which candidates find themselves should be related to the national and international framework within which businesses operate. It may also be helpful to use examples of firms which have grown and ones which have declined. In doing this, it is essential to bear in mind that the Unit is set in the context of all types of organisation and, wherever possible, examples should make this apparent.

Overall, therefore, the Unit has both a practical and an explanatory focus. It can be set in the context of business decision making in the main functional areas of activity.
