How to Choose the Right Business IA Topic

Struggling to come up with a Business IA topic that actually works? You’re not alone. Choosing the right topic is one of the most important—and stressful—parts of the IB Business Management Internal Assessment. That’s why we built this generator: to help you quickly find real, researchable Business IA topics that are focused, relevant, and tailored to your interests.

 

What Makes a Good Business IA Topic?

Great Business IA topics are:

Focused on a real decision or problem
Based on a real-world business (ideally one you can research)
Built around a key concept like Change, Ethics, Creativity, or Sustainability
SMART — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound
Suitable for applying IB business tools like SWOT, PESTLE, breakeven analysis, etc.

Business IA Topics: Real Examples
  • Change: Should a local restaurant franchise expand into food delivery to meet demand post-COVID?

  • Ethics: Should a coffee company switch to fair-trade beans despite increased sourcing costs?

  • Creativity: To what extent should a sneaker brand use TikTok influencers to boost Gen Z engagement?

  • Sustainability: Should a cosmetics company eliminate plastic packaging to improve brand image by 2026?

Each of these Business IA topics ties to a real company decision, applies a core concept, and can be analyzed with business tools and research.

 

Tips for Choosing Your Business IA Topic

🏢 Pick a company you can actually access. Don’t just choose a big-name brand—choose one that publishes reports, runs social media accounts, or can be contacted for a quote or interview.

🎯 Narrow your topic to a single, actionable question. “Should Company X expand?” is too vague. “To what extent should Company X open a new location in Berlin by Q3 2025?” is stronger.

📊 Make sure there’s enough data. Look for sources like customer reviews, news articles, financials, or interviews with managers or employees.

“Before Diploma Collective, I had no clue where to even start my Math IA. — they actually showed me how to think like an examiner. I went from confused to confident, and ended up with a 7.”
