Business Studies in Grade 10 introduces learners to the world of business by exploring key principles, practices and environments that shape how organisations operate in South Africa and beyond. The subject equips learners with essential knowledge and practical skills in areas such as entrepreneurship, forms of ownership, business environments, leadership and management roles, as well as core business functions like marketing, finance and operations. Through analysing real-world scenarios and developing problem-solving, critical-thinking and teamwork abilities, learners gain a strong foundation for future studies in commerce and for participating meaningfully in both the formal and informal economy. Business Studies encourages responsible decision-making, ethical behaviour and innovative thinking, preparing students for a wide range of career pathways or for starting their own business ventures.
