I feel like I wont get any marks for the power and role question because I said:
-> Power is more beneficial for (I think it was underperforming business or smth like that) because having an experienced other within the business/ having more expertise leads to innovation.
-> I did make a second point but can't remember.

Hopefully they’ll be more people, this thread seems to be inactive in comparison to the AQA and Edexcel one.

So I think I messed up the calculations to do with the slabs🤦*♂️. The 15 marker for entrepreneurship I thought was actually quite tough as I didn’t really know how to get 15 marks as entrepreneur characteristics is such a small topic? The economies of scale was good, my class mates told me that purchasing wasn’t internal it’s external which panicked me but then the textbook said it was internal. I thought the 3 extra ps question was okay but didn’t think they were very important. Multiple choice not as easy as I’d hoped tbh. Gantt charts I think i did quite well but hard to get 6 marks out of one advantage, just application tbh. The external quality standards was okay I guess. How about you?
