    Section III - Business Report

    6 Pages per line, 16 pages, so.... 2.6666666 lines?? xD Thats 20/20 right there. Yeah, I thought the report was very straightforward, probably the easiest report of the past few years.

    General Thoughts: Business Studies

    Easy test, and NO FINANCE?? My asian heritage was put to no use, I didn't even touch my calculator during the exam. The last essay question predictions for 'operations' and 'human resources' was a hit too.. that was pretty disappointing that BOS went for quite simple questions as opposed to the...

I wouldn't be sure of state ranking though, I thought for business studies a state rank would be way higher than 91-92 and...

    Business Studies HSC

    To add to the discussion on adding more visceral information to the section IV report, what the hell would I add? I use Telstra and Apple as my main case studies supplemented by whatever else comes off the top of my head and I have no idea what kind of information could be added. All the...

    Cost centres?

    Pretty much what the above had said, but in a bit more depth, a cost centre is a division of a business that does not contribute directly to revenue but is a core component or is even essential to its success. A typical example of a cost centre is a customer helpline and service call centre...
