The management and change topic was removed from the HSC course to the preliminary course.
The Global Business Topic was removed as a separate topic and was integrated through the four HSC topics
Operations became a major focus in the HSC, as it is one the key business functions.
The structure of all topics were streamlined, so there was a consistency between all topics.

previous papers.
Challenges faced by teachers and students

The structure of the Business Studies exam did not change with the new syllabus.
However there were some changes in the way some questions were asked.
The Business Report (Section III); could still ask questions, which covered three topics
The Extended response (Section IV); still covered two topics, however there will not be a combination of two topics in one question.
The extended response still requires students to integrate a case study in their response.
