    Guys - is this exam you're doing tommorow the Edexcel Economics and Business Unit 3: International Business?

    Regardless I'm monitoring this thread because all this talk of mergers and Nestle has intrigued me. I'm hoping that side will come up over the whole 'Global Marketing' side or else I'll be stumped.

    haha Lets keep in mind not to blame PPF if any of this doesnt come up. Lets use these to warm up our brains instead of completely relying on them.

    Alright thanks do you think you would get evaluation marks for Giving a bad and good point of the same thing if you get what I mean , like if a business moves to china prices may reduce through labour costs , but on the other hand due to Chinese boom , other prices may be higher therefore prices ain't much difference

    Umm... i can see where you're coming from but i'm not sure if thats allowed. To be safe don't do that in the exam or if you want to then ask your teacher or classmates preferably teacher. I don't want to say yes and then you don't get the marks

    Our teacher calls those 'however' points, which come under the category of 'analysis marks'. So yeh like a benefit for China being its cheap and plentiful labour supply, however businesses face the risk of intellectual property theft and limited foreign government support in their favour. That's a knowledge and analysis mark right there (perhaps also an application mark for acknowledging china's large population). The evaluation comes by mentioning shorter and longer term impacts e.g. China's middle class sector is expanding rapidly, and people are already demanding higher wage rates - a better place for cheap prolonged labour would be e.g. Taiwan or Bangladesh where supply is still high and expectations low.

    Correct me if i'm wrong anyone
