    Hey guys
    My teacher gave us a list of common exam topics:

    • Ltd - plc (converting, advantages, disadvantages
    • Ethical and Environmental objectives
    • How objectives can change over time
    • Marketing mix - place (channels of distribution)
    • Profit and loss accounts, balance sheets
    • Ratio analysis
    • Induction training, on the job, off the job training
    • Motivation
    • Flow Production, JIT
    • Quality



    I think this is a good to go over these to make sure you know about them, thats what i am going to do now. Hope that helps

    Oh, my teacher gave us a pack of papers relevant to A&W, not sure where you can find them though, sorry.

    How have you been revising? I think the exam is going to be quite hard
