Did anyone else recommend not to move to china?
I hate it when you think you have done well and you see all these other good points and opinions, i think i messed it up now.

If the pound is going to be -18% compared to chinese currency does that make imports from china to uk more expensive?

I recommended they didnt move...

but ignored the currency as I couldnt work out of -18% was good or bad or what :redface:

Oh Lord I'm screwed :s-smilie:

One of many mistakes....

Same as me! :smile:

Couldnt remember whether currency change was good for moving or not so just skipped over it

Thinking about it should have said how currency rates are outside influence of business but affect it :frown:

I think it went alright, most people did the Apple question cause there was so much to write for it but it may mean you need to do better in it to get good marks.

I put they shouldnt move but it became hard to evaluate why they shouldnt move, its easier to evaluate why they should move cause you could mention the different factors it depended on.

The change in exchange rates makes imports from China more expensive, and it makes investment in China more expensive.

Nope. The pound decreased in value against the yuan. Which means you can't get as many yuan for each pound. So everything becomes more expensive.

I sincerely hope you didnt write like that in your exam or you're screwed for the Quality of Written Communication marks. Thats if the examiner can even read what you put!

Overall, I hate talking about exams afterwards cause theres so many points I realise I missed out but knew in the back of my mind. I dont panic as much when I dont talk about it lol

I did the Apple question and unlike everyone else said it would be crazy to expand into the game console market at this time (but recommended they consider it in the future for release when the current consoles begin to get old - as long as they can beat the opposition to release date)

Entering an incredibly saturated market in a period of global recession? They'd be crazy.

So what other factors did you write about apart from culture.

I just wanted to know, the second half of the exam that is the question. Were you supposed to relate it to 'now', i.e. reality 2008 and what's happening in the economy now? And, were you supposed to relate, for example, Apple to what we know about Apple.

That was exactly my point. It certainly shouldn't be a priority, because there is too much risk and they should try and get the most out of the iPod brand first.
