Zimbabwe Lower 6 Curriculum - Management of Business

The Zimbabwe Lower 6 curriculum includes Management of Business as a subject offered to students in the commercial stream. At Gateway High School, the Business Studies department offers the Association of Business Executives (ABE) professional courses to Lower and Upper 6 students. Lower 6 is the first year of the Advanced Level (A-Level) program, which prepares students for university studies. A-Level classes typically begin in February after the release of Ordinary Level (O-Level) results. Speciss College lists Management of Business among its Lower 6 subject offerings, alongside other subjects like English, Mathematics, History, Geography, and Accounts.

While the exact content of the current Management of Business syllabus is not readily available online, a 2015 Business Studies syllabus document provides some insight into potential topics covered. This document encompasses areas such as business environmental analysis, human resources management, marketing, and operations management. Another document, an Advanced Level Business Studies syllabus, likely overlaps significantly with the Management of Business curriculum. It covers similar topics, including the business environment, human resource management, marketing, operations management, and business finance and accounting. A-Level Business Studies also involves data analysis, interpretation, and decision-making. Students are expected to analyze case studies and utilize tools like SWOT analysis.

The Zimsec website ( is the official source for syllabi, but a direct link to the current Management of Business syllabus PDF could not be located. Past exam papers can be a valuable resource for understanding the exam format and content, but finding those specifically for Management of Business proved challenging. Several websites offer past papers for other business-related subjects, which may offer some relevant insights.
