About the Book

I.C.S.E. Commercial Applications for class IX has been revised strictly in accordance with the latest syllabus prescribed by the Council For Indian School Certificate Examinations New Delhi. According to the Council the aims of teaching Commercial Applications at the IX
standard are as follows :
1. To develop in students a perceptive, sensitive and critical response to the role of business in a simple manner.
2. To develop in students an analytical ability so as to balance the demands of social and business parameters with individual aspirations.
3. To help create an appreciation for the diverse roles of both the entrepreneur and the professional manager.
4. To develop an ability to work in and through teams.
5. To provide appropriate knowledge and skills as a basis for further study or work or both.
This book has been specially designed and written to meet these aims and the course contents for the IX standard. I am sure the book would prove useful to the concerned students.

Some of the distinctive features of the book are as follows:
1. Comprehensive coverage of the latest syllabus.
2. Tables and diagrams to illustrate the text.
3. Summary at the end of each chapter for quick revision.
4. Multiple Choice Questions, Short answer and long answer type questions at the
end of every chapter.

I have fully revised this book in light of feedback received from the readers. Suggestions
for improvement of the book are welcome and shall be gratefully acknowledged.
