There are, though since there was a change in syllabus it doesn't cover the changes (as it is a past paper book). I'd recommend just borrowing it from your local library and just reading over a few to gather how to structure and set a report/essay.
Tbh I think that using Business Studies In Action along with the cram apps are suffice. Probably the best thing other textbooks can offer you is a diverse range of case studies which is in Creative Business Studies and HSC Business Studies: Getting Better Results. So if you wanted to buy another one I'd suggest one of those I've listed before, though it is not needed.
HSC Business Studies: Getting Better Results have basically given their whole operations chapter as a sample.

Is business studies a lot of rote learning?
Ok, I'll definitely try it out, thanks
I found this really great site for practising Multiple Choice questions. It has questions for preliminary business, economics and physics.
It's really good and it's run by the author of Creative Business Studies.

You can use various parts of these notes, though just be attentive to see which information is informative for the new syllabus.
Although Marketing and Finance remain the same in terms of topics, the contents of the two have slightly changed.
Management was replaced with Operations
Employment Relations was replaced with human resources
And the global influences/strategies topic was just stuck at the end of each of the new topic
Ok thanks examine. Could you post the multiple choice website on the main post for everyone to see

Should i change my DP?
It hasn't really got many concepts and is more rote learning, better off writing practice questions and giving them to your teachers.
I think it really depends on the individual. Like some people may feel the need for tutoring for Business while others don't. However, if you were to go Business tutoring it would probably be most likely for developing and refining your exam technique, learning tips and tricks from people who have already finished the subject, etc. So if you can find an arrangement where you go to tutoring either once a month (for let's say 1-2 hours depending on how much you need) to refine your writing while being able to be in contact with them for short answer/essay marking then that would be ideal (though probably for this service you may need to pay extra). Basically what this will do is ensure that you maximise the potential mark you can get in the HSC, but it'd be up to you to learn the concepts.
If you go for 1 hour each month I'd expect them to charge maybe $60-$100 per month (not too sure on this though) mainly because you will be continually getting your responses reviewed throughout this month which will accumulate to quite a bit of time.
And you can follow what Drifting said if you have faith that your teacher is a good marker, though if you're not certain you could contemplate what I said prior.
tl;dr version:
Business Tutoring -> Refining exam technique and essay writing skills, find a tutor that has the ability to continuously mark your Short Answer/Report/Essay responses and once a month meet up with then for 1-2 hours to discuss how you can further improve your skills, and to clear up concepts if you are stuck.
