Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

IB Business Management

What level of math background is required for IB Economics?

IB Economics requires students to have strong logical thinking and quantitative skills, including the ability to draw and interpret graphs, perform basic calculations, and conduct simple data analysis. While the math requirement, especially at HL, is higher than for Business Management, it is generally not as specialized and complex as in Mathematics AA HL.

What's the main difference between Economics Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL)?

Both SL and HL cover the 4 core parts of economics. However, HL delves deeper into microeconomic and macroeconomic theories, including more complex analytical models and requiring higher quantitative skills, which are assessed through a separate Paper 3 exam. HL also demands a deeper level of analysis and evaluation of economic policies in essays.

How does Economics differ from Business Management in the IB program?

Economics focuses on economic theories and principles at a larger scale (markets, nations, global), analyzing issues like inflation, unemployment, international trade, and the role of government. Conversely, Business Management focuses on how specific businesses operate and are managed, examining functions such as marketing, finance, human resources, and operations from an organizational perspective.

What does the Internal Assessment (IA) for Economics involve?

The IA for Economics is a portfolio consisting of three commentaries. For each commentary, students must choose a recently published economic news article (within one year), then use learned economic concepts, theories, and graphs to analyze and evaluate the content, issues, or policies discussed in that article.

What university and career opportunities benefit from studying IB Economics?

IB Economics provides a strong foundation of knowledge and analytical skills, which are highly valuable for many university fields such as Economics, Finance, Banking, Accounting, Public Policy, International Relations, International Business, Law, and related fields that require economic analytical thinking and market understanding.
