IB Business Management IA Student Guide | Business Research Project | SL & HL

Give students a clear, practical route through the IB Business Management Internal Assessment with this student-friendly guide to the Business Research Project.

Designed for both SL and HL, the resource breaks down the IA into manageable stages and explains what students need to demonstrate across all seven assessment criteria: Integration of a Key Concept, Supporting Documents, Business Tools & Theories, Analysis & Evaluation, Conclusion, Structure and Presentation.

Rather than simply reproducing the assessment rubric, the guide translates the criteria into straightforward student language and explains what stronger work looks like in practice.

Students are supported with:

  • developing a focused research question around a real business issue
  • choosing one conceptual lens: change, creativity, ethics or sustainability
  • selecting strong supporting documents
  • applying appropriate Business Management tools and theories
  • using evidence effectively
  • moving from description to analysis and evaluation
  • integrating the key concept throughout
  • writing a clear conclusion that answers the research question
  • organising and presenting the final project professionally
  • checking the IA before submission

The guide also explains key practical requirements, including the 1,800-word limit and the requirement for 3–5 supporting documents.

Ideal for IA launch lessons, independent student reference, draft preparation, conferences, redrafting and final submission checks.

A useful resource for students who understand Business Management content but need clearer guidance on how to turn that knowledge into a successful IA.

Format: Editable Microsoft Word document
Suitable for: IB Business Management SL & HL
