Business ABQ, Unit 7

pjjk90

I am having trouble studying unit 7, always had, and probably still will, I just can't understand it.
My question is, for the ABQ, what should I learn from this Unit?
I am staying well clear of it in the long questions, but how much can they realistically ask in the ABQ? They aren't going to ask about the Parliaments, etc in the ABQ?
If anyone could help me at this late stage, I'd be really really greatful!
Thanks in advance

For the ABQ in unit 7, hmm off the top of my head, give advantages of being in EU, different types of companies (plc franchise etc and their benefits), oh and ethics and the environment. Not sure what else is in unit 7 without looking what chapters are in it but I know those are near the end so...

I dont see why everyone hates unit 7? I like the expanding the business chapter, global companies and the EU.

One question though about the EU Policies and institutions. Do we have to knoe ALL the policies? Ive learnt CAP and SEM already. Are we safe to leave one or two out?

Sa,e goes for institutions. Obviously I know the commission, parliment and concil but what about the others? Do we have to know the Court of Auditors and investment bank etc in detail too?

I bet the Q. from Unit 7 will be advantages/disadvantages of mixing in international trade

While its unlikely they'll ask you a specific policy other than CAP who knows, then again i's say the only two questions you'd get would be
1: discuss any european policy
2: discuss the CAP

so I guess either way you'd be grand just learning the CAP

In a sample ABQ, there was a question on the Competition Policy

Unit seven is one of the easiest units!!

You don't really need to know the structure of the EU, except for short questions, so all that really leaves are EU policies, international trade and global business... Oh, and don't forget the decision making process!

He means the the advantages/disadvantages/opportunities/challenges for irish business/economy getting involved in international trade.
Its been asked in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2007!!
*-**-**-* anyone spot the pattern? !!

As for policies the following have been asked directly:
-Competition Policy (1999)
-Single European Market (2003 & 2005)
-CAP or Competition policy (2006)

Any Policy has been asked in 1999 & 2005
