    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    Re-quoting again, this is more or less the structure that I used: In the second section, I focused more on the Topic 5 'aspects of managing global business - marketing' than Topic 3's 'developing marketing strategies', but you still need to mention both of them in depth, while considering the...

    It's spelt 'breeches' or 'britches' , not 'bridges'.

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    They are different; that is a fact. Also note that I never said not to say branding - I mentioned branding in some depth, when discussing the product section of developing market strategies. You needed to recommend a full global marketing strategy - that would include market...

    Global Marketing Strategy??

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    Neanderthal, global branding and branding are two very different things - go look up the definitions. Branding is from Topic 3 and global branding is from Topic 5, you needed to use both.

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    You probably won't lose any marks, as long as you explained it clearly; you obviously understood what the question was asking, and the exact wording of it isn't particularly important as long as the CONCEPTS are the same. But using the exact wording from the syllabus and underlining it lets the...

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    I said the impact would be that their objective of increasing reputation would be achieved. It doesn't really matter, there isn't a right or wrong answer as such, as long as you justify is properly. The report had 3 sections ~ 1. 2 social responsibilities [this is from Topic 1: I used...

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    Global branding is possible but generally more aligned for a standardised approach vs a differentiated approach, unless the company is very large; you still need to mention it though Pretty easy test, I wrote 14 for the report and 12 for extended response (Q28), expecting 98-100 raw, though as...

    Section IV - Extended Response

    Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response I did Question 28. Pretty straight-forward, I wrote 12 pages. 19-20, would be surprised with 18 or less.

    16 Hours and 29 minutes to Business Studies Exam

    Looks kind of pointless to me.

    financial planning cycle - remembering

    To be honest, the entire concept of the 'financial planning cycle' doesn't seem that important/useful, and your interpretation of it seems more logical. Unfortunately the markers aren't going to see that, and they'll be marking you based on what the syllabus says is right, not what makes more...

    financial planning cycle - remembering

    The syllabus quotes it in that order, but it doesn't really matter as long as the concept is understood. Essentially all that matters is that the current position is known and the business plan is referred to first, and then development of budgets/cash flow sheets/other financial statements are...

    Is It Just The Same Old, Same Old When It Comes To Business Studies

    It's not, its very unlikely that you will be marked down for saying AIRC.

    question about section 3 report.

    Nevermind, for the first time in my life I made a slight mistake and didn't notice you were asking about the report. In Section III if they ask that, it will be a similar answer to the structure I told you for the '4-6 mark short-answer question'.

    question about section 3 report.

    There's no method set in stone for it, use your head. If there question is worth 2 marks, just pick one and explain its characteristics. If it's worth 4-6 marks, then describe all of them, pick the best one and explain why it is the best. You will have to ascertain which system is 'best' by...

    Another MC....

    It's a very bad question, and is almost completely ambiguous; Price penetration is a PRICING STRATEGY which involves setting the price at the lowest level possible [implying the lowest level while still making a profit - if it involves making a loss, it falls under the 'loss leader' strategy]...
