IB Business Management Tutoring for Students in the UAE
Business Management gives students a set of named tools and then marks them on whether the tool was used or merely mentioned.
- 2 examined components, weighted as shown below
- 9 syllabus areas mapped to your scheme of work
- Taught by a specialist in this subject, not a generalist
- 90-minute online lessons, scheduled in UAE time
How it is examined
The components, what each one is worth, and what it asks for. Planning revision without this in front of you is how students spend weeks on the part that carries the fewest marks.
| Component | Weight | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 · SL: 75 min / HL: 135 min | SL: 35% / HL: 35% | Case study (released in advance) |
| Paper 2 · SL: 75 min / HL: 135 min | SL: 35% / HL: 35% | Structured questions |
What the syllabus covers
Unit by unit, in the awarding body’s own terms so you can match it against your school’s scheme of work.
Core and SL content
Business Organization and Environment · Human Resources · Finance and Accounts · Marketing · Operations Management
Additional HL content
Strategic Management · Advanced Financial Analysis · Organisational Change · Global Business Strategies
Where marks are actually lost
SWOT, Ansoff, the marketing mix, break-even, investment appraisal — naming one earns nothing. Populating it with this organisation’s actual circumstances and drawing a conclusion from what it shows earns the analysis and evaluation marks. Students who list the tool and then write general commentary are doing the harder half of the work and collecting the smaller half of the marks.
The pre-released case study for the HL paper is the other place preparation goes wrong. It arrives months early and rewards deep familiarity — the numbers, the people, the constraints — so that exam time is spent answering rather than reading. Students who skim it in the last fortnight are effectively sitting an unseen paper that everyone else has seen.
The internal assessment
The IA is marked by your teacher against published criteria and moderated by the IB. We supervise it — we do not write it, because Business Management coursework a student cannot defend is worth less than a weaker piece they can.

IB Diploma Tutoring
Subject-specialist tutoring for IB Diploma students, at Higher and Standard Level, covering taught content, internal assessments and the core. Delivered online and planned around your school’s deadlines.
IB Pricing
The Diploma is not one thing to buy. Six subjects, an extended essay, internal assessments and TOK each need something different, and they are priced separately here so you can buy only what you need.
How it works
Every student starts with a free consultation and ends with a plan that has a date on it. What happens in between depends on which exam you are sitting.
