Edexcel Business Studies Unit 3

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

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

My teachers are pretty useless , they gave me Me a grade A in all my mocks and then in jan I get a C fml , alright it's kids harder to do long term and short term effects for some points

LOL! same here. i think it was the global marketing question i stumped on. i got 0/8 but i got 11/15 for q9

I messed that one up on why is England an attract place for fdi something along those lines anyways

i think you are allowed to do that and is right. we just go through knowlege, identification, analysis, evaluation.
you're teacher gives much better explanations then mine

yh i know why i messed up. Q5 and 6 i only gave one point each so got capped on 3 marks, Q8 my evaluation was not in context so i got capped down to 5 marks. but anyways thats the past

Let's Hope we do better tommorow , the exams in the afternoon right ?

Yeah. Why arent you guys doing the question? do it and post it up so we can mark each others and improve our own answers

Evaluate the benefits to Nestle of growing through mergers and takeovers in the Chinese Market (8 marks)
