Business Studies Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

i feel like its hard to do on the spot tho and should be a last resort instead. like if the question was abt processes id have no idea what case study to make up

if u know ur content it shouldnt be a problem in my opinion

i studied business the night before both my trials (like literally started 11pm) and got 88 n 90 respectively

however ig this worked cuz i was familiar with my topics, like i went over finance and operations throughly while i skimmed over marketing and HR for 20 minutes

just start memorising a bit from now u dont have to necessarily do questions just memorise ur syllabus and stuff

wdym both trials

I think js do a popular business but not one that is commonly used in business studies. I always use miniso or the body shop when I’m making fake case studies because if you say a popular one like apple or qantas literally everyone uses them and they’ll know

if they do specific strategies/influences like they used to for hr ill kms

Reniblase why are u actually an academic weapon

only for like two subjects bro

for case studies i only memorised 3 for each strategy from every topic and for both exams they didn’t ask abt strategies…

but that doesn’t matter just adapt them (like make things up lol) for my different paragraphs i would merge all the case studies I’ve memorised to make some bullshit up

like I remember qantas would spend smth like $385 million on technology each year and if my essay was abt hr, i would recycle that and say qantas spends $385 million every year on human resource compliance costs or on training, just bs on the way

for reports always do what’s most suitable for the business
if the business is struggling with documenting their cash flow and they’re asking u to recommend a working capital management strategy, think abt what’s most suitable don’t just choose any strategy. like the most suitable for this business would be cash flow statements

for mcq im doing every one from 2015-2024 so I recommend u do one set after u finish a study session for each subject, it takes like 10 minutes max

im only memorising case studies for everything except finance since i dont plan on doing finance

id say the most key parts of the syllabus are the influences and strategies so gravitate ur main focus towards those but obviously go through everything

how do you effectively memorise case studies or do you have drafted essays with the case studies already. unfortunately i have eco stats to memorise

lolll nah i dont draft essays its a waste of time since they could ask for practically anything

i have like three things in mind for each thing, like for operations strategies i choose like 3-4 strategies: technology, outsourcing, r&d etc
and only memorise case studies from those since questions usually revolve around like "how do operations strategies affect business success"

honestly dont memorise word for word its a waste of time as long as u have ur key points and stats u can yap on and on

like for this i only memorise the bold parts:
Apple invests 5% of sales into R&D. R&D is an obvious thing for Apple to invest in, given their market and how quickly technology has been changing - but 5% of Apple's sales amounts to well over $10,000,000,000 a year. Apple says it focuses investments on the development of "new and updated products and services that are central to the Company's core business strategy." Apple is currently investigating futuristic technology such as "Project Titan" (self-driving car, working with Lexus), and Augmented Reality technology.
Apple started work on the iPad in 2004, and released it in 2010. That's a long R&D project! But it sold 1 million units within 28 days of release
