It's worth saying that Q7 may well be a break-even chart this year for 30-40 marks including interpreting it. If that were the case, it would be very advisable to do that question because it's easy marks.

True but in the past a break-even chart has also come up in Q5 and Q6 so that could happen this year as well. Seriously though Marketing is so open-ended it could be a lovely question or something completely bizarre.

chapters 1-19 will get you an a1. you have no choice on questions though, but if you learn them inside out you're guarenteed an a1

It's part of our ABQ though, so it's logical to answer that's question. I think people just say it's marked hard because it's far more factual than the rest of the business course so you actually have to know your stuff to perform well.

little sis...

Dreading this exam because I know I won't get it done on time...
Hoping to speed through the short Q's and give more time to the long questions :rolleyes:

ejayy

Anyone have notes on industrial and consumer conflict?

HauntedGhost

Does anyone have any Predictions for Business?

ejayy

What I think will come up:
Sale of goods act
Contract
Trade union
Maslow meetings
Ratio (don't know which)
Marketing
Market segmentation
Teamwork
National consumer agency
Management activities
Product ideas

caolan1996

what about the ABQ i am really dreading that

ejayy

Hate the Abu so honestly couldn't tell you! I have only ever answered one :P

Aspiring

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

thanks for part say part b or c do i still need to link it to the text and should i use headings or not ?

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

Jackson07

I'm dreading this exam so much I just want a high C and I'll be happy! Have you guys seen eoin Jackson's predictions, what did you guys think about them?

I've never seen his videos prior to today, but he comes across as a complete bluffer if I'm honest. Predicting communication? Hardly even worth calling that a prediction really. He also didn't mention break-even which seems strange.

caolan1996

what else is likely to come up as i dont no where to start i have leading and motivating communication and unit 7

Feckin break even charts.. Does anybody else not think they're way too complicated with all the different calculations and places to plot the lines? Apparently they're easy marks but they break my brain every time I attempt one
