Assignment: Business Decision Making (Unit 6)

In business, good decision making requires the effective use of information. This unit gives learners the opportunity to examine a variety of sources and develop techniques in relation to four aspects of information: data gathering, data storage, and the tools available to create and present useful information. ICT is used in business to carry out much of this work and an appreciation and use of appropriate ICT software is central to completion of this unit. Specifically, learners will use spreadsheets and other software for data analysis and the preparation of information. The use of spreadsheets to manipulate numbers, and understanding how to apply the results, are seen as more important than the mathematical derivation of formulae used. The aim of this assignment is to assess the learner’s knowledge of the all aspects of the unit Task 1 covers AC1.1, AC1.2 and AC1.3 Task 2 covers AC2.1, AC2.2, AC2.3, AC2.4 and AC4.1 Task 3 covers AC3.1, AC3.2, AC3.3, AC3.4 and AC4.1 Task 4 covers AC4.2 and AC4.3.
