JCE Business Studies case studies

The Junior Certificate Business Studies (JCE Business Studies) is a school-level business qualification that introduces learners to the world of commerce, money and enterprise. It suits junior secondary candidates who are building a foundation before upper-secondary accounting, economics or business subjects, and it also gives school leavers a recognisable record of practical business literacy. The syllabus is broad rather than deep: personal finance and money management, consumer rights and responsibilities, how businesses are owned and organised, business finance and accounting, marketing and sales, human resource management and employment, production and operations, and entrepreneurship and business planning. Assessment typically mixes multiple-choice, short-answer, structured long-answer, data-response and case-study tasks, so you need both recall and the ability to apply a concept to an unfamiliar business scenario. The JCE Business Studies case studies are 5 cases and about 3,338 words.
