Break even analysis predicted. I'd expect a product life cycle, stages in new product development or business plans to come up along side it. Would be a lovely question for those of us doing accounting :rolleyes:
I'd study Europe/International environment well. We know question 3 is always the same kind of stuff.
The ABQ should be quite doable. I'd predict the skills/characteristics of Entrepreneurs (not much else they could put for enterprise), Industrial relations in some form (conflict maybe), then communication/planning for the third part. Could be a bit of contract law too but I doubt it, it would be nice tho.
Hoping for A1

Hey if you look in the beginning of your business papers they have a guideline for time.
For ABQ's I always follow the formula "State, explain, example"
Say for 2009 (A)
I'd first look at it and say "Ok, 20 marks, so I need 4 points".
That means you need to know 4 enterprising skills or characteristics (I'd go 2 and 2), four explanations of what each means (like a definition) and 4 examples (quotes from the text)
My first point would be something like:
It is clear from reading the above extract that Liam has self-confidence in his business. This is a key characteristic of entrepreneurs. It means having the belief that your product/service can be successful and compete in the wider market with competitors. Liam's self confidence is a valuable characteristic to have as it will ensure his future success.
"Liam's knowledge and belief in his product"
I just made that up on the spot so it's not likely to be perfect, but you get the idea 0 -

Use headings if you wish, I suppose it would make it completely explicit what you're talking about.
Yeah for b) I'd link:
stock control using "Rising stock levels in the warehouse are also causing problems"
credit control using "two of his largest customers have not paid their bills on time"
budgetary control using "cash flow is tight"
For c) have a look at the marking scheme http://www.examinations.ie/archive/markingschemes/2009/LC033ALP000EV.pdf there's lots of things you can use
That part a) I put up was only a quarter of what you'd need for the full part a) answer, just wanted to clarify that 0 -
