VCE - Australian Business Case Studies

Australian Business Case Studies – helping students pass the VCE

Australian Business Case Studies is a FREE educational resource specifically developed to help students pass their VCE. The Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) is the credential awarded to secondary school students who successfully complete senior high school level studies (years 11 and 12 or equivalent) in the state of Victoria, Australia. Study for the VCE is usually completed over two years, but it can be spread over a longer period in some cases. VCE is taught in years 11 and 12 of senior high school in Victoria. Many students commence VCE studies in year 10. Each VCE subject is organised into units.

The VCE Business Management course is divided into four key units:

Unit 1: VCE Small business management
Unit 2: VCE Communication and management
Unit 3: VCE Corporate management
Unit 4: VCE Managing people and change

It is essential for students to use case studies within the VCE business studies syllabus to investigate and communicate ideas and issues. Australian Business Case Studies allows students to understand how the theory learnt in the VCE course translates to day-to-day business practice in real Australian companies.
