OceanGlow Cosmetics is a rapidly growing business producing a range of skincare products using marine-based ingredients, such as algae and seaweed, sourced from coastal regions. Recent expansion has led to increased production and, consequently, greater consumption of resources and waste generation. Concerns have been raised by local environmental groups regarding the sustainability of their sourcing practices and the disposal of chemical by-products from their manufacturing processes. OceanGlow’s management team recognises the need to address these concerns to maintain a positive brand image and ensure long-term viability.

In this unit students explore the key processes and considerations for managing a business efficiently and effectively to achieve business objectives. Students examine different types of businesses and their respective objectives and stakeholders. They investigate strategies to manage both staff and business operations to meet objectives, and develop an understanding of the complexity and challenge of managing businesses. Students compare theoretical perspectives with current practice through the use of contemporary Australian and global business case studies from the past four years.
The production of goods and services is a core objective of businesses. Effective management of the process of transforming inputs into outputs is vital to the success of a business, both in terms of maximising the efficiency and effectiveness of the production process and meeting the needs of stakeholders. In this area of study students examine operations management and consider the best and most responsible use of available resources to produce a quality final good or service in a competitive, global environment.
