S2 Business Management Dragon's Den Final

The final of the S2 Business Management Dragon's Den Final was held on Wednesday 24 March. Three teams won the right to represent their classes at the final which we held in the lecture theatre in front of all three classes - approximately 100 people.

I had invited four "Dragons" from the local business community who I had established links with through the visits with the Higher Business Management pupils to the East Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce. As well as two local business people, there was someone from Business Gateway and a local entrepreneur who had started his first business at 13.

I think it is imperative that as a Business Education department we establish close links with the business community to make our subject "come to life" for the pupils. It also helps create a good image of the school. The use of the Dragons gave the end of the project a high degree of professionalism and feedback from everyone was highly positive.
