Logistics and external environment. Yeah tougher than the first two but not so bad for a paper 3. Don’t think i did so well on the logistics one but the external environment one was very good. Supply and demand 6 marker was weird for 6 marks but guess that was just case study. Calculations were straight forward, selection methods were straight forward which I presume were just like interviews, group activities etc? Ansoff matrix I knew well but weird how it was ten marks for ONE way.

Can anyone remember what they got for the calculations?
I got 9.61% for the ARR, 3530 for the cyclical variation question and 0.76 for the elasticity at the beginning?

I got the same for arr and elasticity, but not sure on the variation?

CSR:

•become a living wage provider
(Higher than minimum wage)
• reduce sugar in orange juice to reduce demand on nhs

Logistics:

•product must be refrigerated when transported and stuff so added cost of that compared to if they take the risk and people get ill
• as they are a multinational company they are reliant on goods from abroad so freak weather could delay and due to the perishability mean the oranges have to be thrown out
