AQA Buss 4 Jan 13

alright tbf, did you do questions 1 and 5?

Yes, my teacher believes 2 and 5 are likely to come up!

I suddenly feel a bit more confident about this exam than I did 2 weeks ago!

Hi, how much did you write for each?
Q5 was on ethics btw

hey what did you do for section a?

I found the exam okay. The first section was straightforward and I felt this went well as I did lots of research prior to the exam. What did people think of section b and which qs did they do?

I did Q2 and did 3 points for why efficiency wasnt the main reason, 2 why it was and a conclusion:-
Against = -Profits (Tata and JLR)
- Target Emerging markets
- Help achieve corporate objectives (Kraft and Cadbury)
For = -Helps businesses lower costs
- Cost synergies

hey what did you do section a?

hi, how did you find that? what did you do?

I went for question 1 and 3. It was an extremely good exam!

i did 3 and felt like i was doing more of an economics exam then business, even talked about schumpeter

Yup.
I felt like I was doing my AS macro economic exam and that's why I chose it and I showed off by drawing graphs and ect.
Although I did mentioned technology (internet) briefly too.

What about the research? Which one did you go for!?

Doing Economic really helped with this exam. especially that even the research was on M&T so in some cases I talked about the role of the competition commission and some monopoly powers and ect.

Overall MUCH better than I thought I'll do 2 weeks ago!

I didn't like the paper.

I done Q2 on the Reasons/Motives and Q5 about Ethics. The only thing i revised for Section B was Technology, Culture and Leadership.....!

Hbu?

i went for 2, talked about emerging markets, cost synergies, retrenchment, used santander, microsoft, de beers, jlr,

i felt myself repeating stuff a little.

what examples did you use for 3

yh i wish i had done a graph or two, but thats minor really

Well that was the beauty about question 3. It said with reference to to external factors and/or companies you know.

So you didn't really have to give any examples although I talked about JJB Sport going into admin and comet.

yh i saw that and thought this is to good to be true, my general conclusion was that the uk is pretty ****ed, did you concur?
