TOUR OVERVIEW

New Zealand

Business Studies

All year

Years 15-18

Kiwis are known for their "Number 8 Wire" mentality, a can-do mindset of ingenuity and resourcefulness.  This mindset has provided a competitive advantage and led to the success of many New Zealand born inventions such as bungy jumping, jetboating and even the electric fence! Several hugely successful Kiwi startups like Xero, Rocket Lab & Ethique have also been born out of this mentality, and all of whom are on the global business stage.

Our new dedicated NZ Business Studies Tour  brings business studies to life. We've included visits, talks and workshops with organisations across a range of industries to provide as rich a learning experience as possible. Students will learn about strategy, innovation, export, business development and the challenges of operating during a global pandemic.
