Re: Higher Business Management 2012Ohh i see.. is a permanent contract and a temporary contract an option do you think? i think i discussed both, and the part-time!(Original post by UMARTIAN)
Giving the contract and description of it got you 1.
Then why it is used 2nd mark.
If your description is wrong you get 0/2 even if the justification is correct. -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I was looking at flexible woking practices, and talking about part time, job sharing, flexi-time, home/teleworking would get you marks i think, but you would need to discuss advantages/disadvantages! wow this question was hard!

Re: Higher Business Management 2012For the advantages and disadvantages of wholesalers I put:
They have contacts which expands the products market ect.
The wholesalers buy products in bulk large cash inflow.
The product might not be durable for long and wholesalers is a long chain.
The product could be damaged going through so many chains.
Are those correct or can you add anything?

The wholesaler will break the product into more manageable and saleable sizes
The wholesaler may label the product
The wholesale can buy in bulk (which takes stock of your hands)
Disadvantages:
There is loss of control over how the product is presented
There is money lossed as using a middle-man (wholesaler) they make a profit
... cant think of anymore just now! -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012Its fine(Original post by UMARTIAN)
Thanks! Im so nervous. I had myself down for 35-40 in the case study and 20/25 for q1 and 20 foe q2, i hope i got an A. ;-;! Ahh i need a B for Uni, but i dont know how ive done! Its hard to count up marks because sometimes you dont know if youve "explained" enough to get the mark, but, on the other hand sometimes you focus on the negatives! Im sure you you get an A, its around 70 give or take a few marks the pass 3 years!

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I think the exam is like, you don't know how well you explained the points, so you don't know for sure where your marks come from, which is completely different from subjects such as biology and such. But it also depends on the marker, as I had 2 teachers for business - 1 was nice, and always gave me average to good marks and encouraged me to do better, and the other literally just tried to give me the least marks he could. The same question marked by both teachers, worth 5 marks, I got 4 marks and 2 marks. He said i never used 'key phrases' which get the marks, where the other teacher says its more about your own explanation and understanding of topics which get you the marks. I seriously think i could get a B or a D. Depends totally on the marker.

Advantages:
Wholeseller will buy in bulk, which reduces Costs as less deliverys will have to be made.
Wholeseller risks being stuck with stock if consumer tastes change
Wholesaler may help with labelling
Wholesaller will encour the cost of storage and security for the stock
Disadvantages:
Manufacturer may lose some control over the way the product is displayed to be sold. -

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I thought the exam was pretty easy. Only a few questions had me caught out a bit. I don't think I answered the centralised vs decentralised decision making question and the question about flexible working very well. Other than that no problems really.

Re: Higher Business Management 2012I totally agree with this!! You just dont know how well you've expressed yourself.. It was the same in the NABS and the prelim for me, you just dont know(Original post by Belaruce)

What questions did you do?!(Original post by Lydia Teapot)
I thought I did okay until I showed my teacher the exam paper and she asked which questions I did and she replied 'wow...you basically chose the hardest question possible' GREAT!
This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App
Then why it is used 2nd mark.
