Business Studies paper1

[CrEaTuRe_X]

How was it? What do you think you got wrong?
I know I lost two marks on that business cycle sh*t, wrote the product life cycle =.=.
The 1st question, where it said to identify two characteristics of labour intensive, I wrote less machinery, skilled jobs.( Which I think is correct, checked with teacher, but meh)

Other than that, I think the paper was really satisfied with the way i ***** it (:.

i wrote... more labour... and something about cost per labour is high
dunno if the last 1 is correct
and the business cycle.i wrote the performance of the business..
i think i wrote this

loooooool....yh the paper was Alhamdulillah not very hard. But I think I messed up on stupid stuff, like not applying to the situation or defining the term first. I hoep its just me being me and I don't lose marks on that. I just went into lots of evaluation.....Maybe cuz of nervousness or wat I dunno. Just got this nagging feeling at the back of my mind. The business cycle was good though. I just happened to get the definition off my teacher last nite, while panicking... What a miracle it actually came in the exam. Never thought they'd actually ASK.  Has any1 heard a rumor that they'll be putting the papers through sum sort of machine that cuts off everythhing below the line space, like u noe the extra one line we can usually exceed by. That is a thing to worry abt for me too.Anyways, what's gone is gone.

There's no point at thi spoint in thinking abt it.... Wish I cld just get the paper out of my brain....!!!

The second one is incorrect, The business may very well be located in area of high unemployment, thus low costs per labor, infact, this is how most labour intensive businesses function.

Another thing that is a mild pain in the A** was the three ways company  can increase sales turnover, I remember writing promotional pricing, probably correct though, am debating in my head when I am in the washroom as nothing better to think about .

The last 2 questions, first , which stated how can firms become more environmentally friendly, i wrote: Recycle scrap instead of discarding it.2) Less pollution by installing catalytic converters 3) Alternative energy sources, such as hydro electric power.

You know what i find really annoying about business

They do not tell you exactly what they want

E.g. How could Company X increase sales?

There are about a billion answers for it
I made reference to the marketing mix

Avoid using bad language, please!

[Socrates]
