This section of the InThinking Business Management website contains resources and activities to help students using the November 2022 case study (ELE PLC) as a classroom learning resource and/or for an internal / mock examination. The aims of these activities are to build student confidence and competence in terms of:

• Use of vocabulary (key terminology with reference to content in the DP Business Management course)

• Understanding business contexts through the ELE PLC case study

• Inquiry skills

• Research skills

• Examination technique

• Facilitating engaged learning as some schools continue to remain closed (distance / online learning).

Classroom and/or online activities to help students with the ELE PLC case study are explained below.
