I'm having a lot of trouble with this too. I'm crashing this subject, so I don't have previous experience with it.

I'm stuck with what I want my question or focus to be and I'm just lost with all of it haha.

I hope someone posts who can help a little bit with this.
If you go on the Times 100, it's a website its got loads of ideas! I am doing Nivea and it's use of Marketing mix to promote its products followed by the analytical tool of a SWOT Analysis.
You can do loads!
Really struggling with the business assignment and my teacher refuses to give us an example one :frown: So if anyone has a past assignment or example one that they've been given then that would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance :smile:

Hi does anyone still have the assignments from the understanding standards website, they've been taken down .

If not does anyone have an exemplar assignment I can look at , I've started mines but as I'm crashing I'm unsure of the layout and content of the assignment

thanks in advance!

Hi guys, currently sitting Higher Business Management just now just wondering if people who have done it previously or currently would be able to give me some help. I done Nat5 last year and got a B with 29/30 on the assignment but for some reason i seem to be struggling with it this year. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help in any ways such as a question to choose and any other tips.

Cheers Andrew


Hi I have posted something like this as well today and I got an A in my N5 last year however I am stuck on picking a business for my higher assignment however to get the best marks in higher you want to do a SWOT Analysis - Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats and Opportunities. Also if you go onto SQA understanding standards it will give you some examples and the marks they got. But I don't know what business, only that it needs to be a big one.
