Are we all ready for international business on Wednesday?

not really :')
I still struggle with writing things down efficiently without getting bogged down with how many details to include (trying not to get stuck on lower levels of grades)

I actually started a thread about unit 4, the centre parcs one, where I tried to piece some recent information of the company and its activities to try and get the analysis juices flowin'. Feel free to check it out and share your thoughts on it :smile:

What do we need to know about pressure groups?

with pressure groups I think you should evaluate how efficient they may be, the possible threat they may pose and then talk about how the companies can negate their activities (PR and CSR) but end your answer with an evaluation whether they would be effective against the company in question (for example if the company is say centre parcs, they care greatly about their brand image so they won't tolerate bad publicity but at the same time they have high CSR so a pressure group may not have great influence unless they are able to produce evidence against centre parcs for which it would be a PR disaster for the company)
but that's all my opinion :smile:

Yeah i feel you, the only major issue for me is the time constraints, Although im better than last year (Where i could not finish a paper within the time) i dont have enough time to check my answers which is just poo tbh.

Hope we all do well tomorrow

I've just been looking at some grade boundaries and some years you could drop 22 marks and still get an A*!

Question 8 confused me soo much otherwise the rest wasnt too bad. The 15 marker was really similar to last years so i just adapted the essay to suit this years. How did you find it?
