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'.

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...

From my post in the other thread:

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.

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...

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...

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...

Re: Business Studies Section III: Business Report Pretty basic scenario, quite straight-forward. 14 pages, expecting 19-20.

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.

Re: Business Studies Section II: Short Answer Very easy, 40/40. I'm incredible.

Re: Business Studies Section I: Multiple Choice 20/20.

That's correct.

Looks kind of pointless to me.

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...

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...

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

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'.

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...

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]...
