Business

We all use businesses every day – shops, websites and apps are just a few ways that we access them. This course gives you an insight into how these businesses are run and what makes some businesses successful while others fail. You might even choose to start your own business one day! This course covers all types of business, from sole traders with just one person who owns and runs the business to multinational corporations with tens of thousands of employees.
