Mastering Commercial Applications Part-II For Class - X

The paper ICSE Commercial Applications is a combination of various subjects, like Financial and Cost Accounting, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Environmental Studies, Economics and to a certain extent Psychology. The question format not only calls for an in depth knowledge of the content but also application of such knowledge and the same is tested by setting two case studies related questions covering the various aspects of the syllabus.

Presenting the subject matter of Commercial Applications at the secondary level to the young and impressionable minds is indeed challenging. Moreover, the available text books fall short of providing the latest examples and inputs on various topics including legal updates and appropriate case studies. We, as teachers of the subject for so many years, were eagerly waiting for a full proof text book on the relevant paper. Inspired by our senior colleagues, subject experts and many of our ex-students, we finally decided to write a new age text book on Commercial Applications. It is our humble attempt to present the subject in a manner that is interesting and scoring.
