i can help with some:
-Recruitment
-location decisions of a business
-Anything economical
-Motivation, typical paper 2 question
-NO MARKETING QUESTION AS HALF OF PAPER 1 WAS MARKETING...........but maybe one minor question :)
Hope it helps, thanks

only help i need is how should i phrase my answers..
should i start by defining the thing they're asking for.. like if they ask for flow production or sumsin..
should i mention what it is and etc everywhere?
and after that should i focus on explaining the thing they're asking for more in detail or should i go on to advantages and disadvantages....
pretty much the only problem i have for business is answering.. n i cant be bothered to asnwer the past papers because they're too long -.-''' ??? ugh.. anywho.. any tips on answering apart from practicing papers is much welcomed.. thanx in advance! :)

yes definetly any business termonolgies you find in the question which are not defined in the case study or you have not defined in previous questions, then yes you should define it(them),
Also, after defining read the question again, check what they exactly want, if it says adv's and disadv's then you know what they want, if they say discuss, same thing, if they say explain why Jhon, for example, should or should not sell his company, then thats the same too. however, when it says HOW WILL.....OR SUGGEST......OR WHY DOES HE NEED TO............. then here u should explain in detail and give reasons for any of ur choices
ANOTHER IMPORTANT TIP, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GIVE YOUR CONCLUSION IN THE END, for example if it says, DO you think or DIscuss or SHOULD HE/HER....then write then here the steps for this answer:
-Define any termanologies
-Discuss the advantages and disadvantages (2 or 3 for each is enough)
-any reason for ur choice should be given
-Give a conclusion based on what u wrote
Another Tip: A MINUTE A MARK. OR ELSE UR IN TROUBLE, TRUST ME, AND DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN 7MINUTES READING THE CASE CAREFULLLYYY!!!
THAT BASICALLY IT, I HOPE I HELPED
GOOOOD LUCK ALL :D
-
i thnk mangement will surely come

theres somehting i dont really get. i know that a closed shop is when workers have to join a particular trade union but why would employers want that? wouldnt it mean that they have to meet their demands and wouldn't that be costly?
-
closed shop means that ALL workers need to be a part of ONE trade union, doesnt matter which, since the business onli wants to bargain with one.
-
can anyone explain to me what a debenture is... its a loan issued by a company rite?? but how exactly do they get money from that??
-
Salaam! Okk... A debenture is a long-term loan certificate issued by limited companies that can raise large sums of money for upto 25 years. It must be repaid along with interest. It's like an I-owe-you certificate. The business who needs the money gives this certificate which has the date of repayment on it to the other business,organisation,etc. In return, the lending organisation gives you money!! Its like my guarantee to them that I'll give the money back at sum point in the future. ( By the way, dont explain it this way in the exam. Use "sophisticated" business terms.... )
-
Does anybody believe that The Marketing Plan might is coming ???

Can anyone draw breakeven chart for me
for May june 02
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
my teachers stresses that if the question is asking you to form a conclusion about something (e.g. should company XYZ open up a new factory in Country G) never start with a 'yes' or a 'no'. first argue it out and then form a conclusion based on the arguments.
plus, if you start your answer with a 'yes, they should open up the new factory in Country G', you can sorta be led into answering the question according to the advantages of that decision and you might end up not talking about the disadvantages at all.

hope im making sense xp :p

is personal selling and public relation a form of promotion or a method of the term promotion in the marketing mix and i need i typical answer for the definition of selling debenture also for the stuff that the article association & memorandom of association contains should be memorized??
Personal selling is oral communication with potential buyers of a product with the intention of making a sale. The person whos selling the product can develop a quick relationship with the potential buyer and persuade him into buying the product by describing the usefulness of that certain product. so this can be considered as a method of promotion.
public relation is managing the flow of information between a business and its consumers. i dnt thnk it has anythng to do with promotion. cud u elaborate on it pls xactly wht do u mean??
-
there r no variants in p2 only in p1

wat is the net profit considered as ... in simpler terms wat is net profit, is there an equation for it ??
-
this is cause i learnt ROCE/RONA as operating profit divde by net assets or capital employeed so im not sure wat operating profite and net profit really means.
-
in business IGCSE, consider operating profit = net profit (which is grossprofit (which is all trading revenue from sales etc. less the direct cost such as purchases) less all overheads)
-
wat is the net profit considered as ... in simpler terms wat is net profit, is there an equation for it ??
net profit is the profit which remains after paying the overheads, taxes, dividends etc.
net profit = gross profit - operating expenses
-
ok .. thx
-
also .... does absolute profit = profit margins * volume because the mark scheme says it and if its true can u explain y ??
-
also .... does absolute profit = profit margins * volume because the mark scheme says it and if its true can u explain y ??
Net profit is subtracting all expences for gross profit
n net proft is to determine HOW SUCCESFUl the company is working
net profit/sales turnover *100

@rekomeko

oh really never knew

you need to explain, and these are not methods these are the steps!!
methods are
-External recruitment (Taking employees from outside the business_
-Internal Recruitment (taking employees from inside the business, for example: Job Enrichment, giving a previous employee the new job)
-Using a recruitment agency (this is a separate business that is for helping other business getting the best employees, they receive percentages of the wages)
you say the adv's and disadv's of each.
Then give ur conclusion based on what u said
THATS HOW U ANSWER IT :D
HOPE IT HELPS
-

After you do the CBA, with social costs and benefits, you could explain them, and say that the gov plays an important role in the process of desicion making concerning the shopping centre.
Then you should make a reasoned conclusion, REMEMBER CONCLUSIONS COULD ALWAYS BE OPPOSING OR SUPPORTING IF YOU GIVE CORRECT REASONS FOR UR CHOICE!! :D
GOOD LUCK ALL :)

After you do the CBA, with social costs and benefits, you could explain them, and say that the gov plays an important role in the process of desicion making concerning the shopping centre.
Then you should make a reasoned conclusion, REMEMBER CONCLUSIONS COULD ALWAYS BE OPPOSING OR SUPPORTING IF YOU GIVE CORRECT REASONS FOR UR CHOICE!! :D
GOOD LUCK ALL :)
HOPE IT HELPS
thanx that helped.. +rep

the word social means something related to the economy
Social costs is a negative effect that will happen to the social enviroment as an effect from a business deision, social benefits however are the opposite obviously, it is the positive effect on the social envuroment as an affect from a business decision, cost-benefit anlysis is just like a table where the Social costs and benefits and the private costs and benefits (these are the positive and negative effects on the business it self from a business decision) so that we can evaluate if the desicion should be take or not :)
For example: A company will open a new factory in country X, construct a Cost Benefit analysis for this.
ANSWER: SOCIAL COSTS:
-possible pollution
-can destroy the natural bueaty of the land
SOCIAL BENEFITS:
-Decrease Unemployment
-Better economy as more products will be made and this increasing competition or variety for customers
PRIVATE COSTS:
-Cost of land
-Cost of labour
-Cost of new Machinery
PRIVATE BENEFITS:
-More profits
-Better reputaion of business
-Benefit from ecomies of scale (cost/unit falls)
THEN GIVE A REASONED CONLUSION OF WHETHER THE BUSINESS SHOULD BUILD ITS FACTORY OR NOT BASED ON THE CBA, THATS BASICALLY IT :)
ALSO, THE GOVERNMENT WILL CHOOSE IF THIS DECISION SHOULD BE TAKEN AS THEIR ARE SOCIAL BENEFITS AND COSTS, :)
I HOPE THIS HELPS
GOOD LUCK :)

Social cost : the conseqnece which society suffer as a result of Business decsion
like high price of product due to recession
Social benfit: the benfit which the society gain from a decision made by the business
like the business decided to no prodece goods which are harmful for human (cigratte ) for instance
-
cost benefit analysis is the valuation by a government agency of all external and private costs and benifit resulting from a business decision...
External cost are the cost paid by the rest of the society rather than the business.. For eg if a business is making a dam or a factory.. waht will the community have to pay for.. U could say they would lose precious farmland, u could say building factory would lead to noise, u could say that pollution could happen.. pretty much how the community suffers because of a business decision..
External Benefits are the gains to the rest of the society other than the business from the business decision..
this could be like.. if they built a mall.. jobs could be made.. if they built schools.. you will have better educations.. more roads, more jobs, more etc.. pretty much what makes everything better
Private costs are the cost of a business decision paid by the business.. For example cost of buying the land, cost of construction that the business incurs when building somehting etc.. Pretty much what it takes to make or construct.. could also be market research cost..
Private benifits are the gains that the business receives from taking the business decision.. could be increased profits, higher job efficiency,, faster rate of productioin.. productivity increases.. depending on what they ask u..
Social cost is the addition of Private cost and external cost which means what both the business and the community will pay...
Social benifit is the addition of pricate and external benifits.. this means how both of the sides will benifit if the business goes ahead with the decision..
phews... there u go..

absolutely correct :)
One more thing a bank is interseted in is:
Debtors, if debtors dont pay the business on time, then this will cause a cashflow promlem and thus discourage the bank to give the loan
Creditors, bank manager will see if the business sticks to the given period of time for paying the loan or not
HOPE THIS HELPS :)

line manager are those who have direct authority to subordinate

Line managers have direct authority over subordinates in their department and Staff managers are specilists to support these line managers and Board of directors.

hmm... in ur example he would be both. Although keep in mind that line and staff managers might have different views and they might conflict. Line employess could be confused then about who to take orders or instructions from because Staff managers help Line managers, advice them on particular issues like changes in markets. Hope tht helps :)

hello guys... i'm new... great job in boosting my confidence!! =)
I have a question... oct/nov 2008 p2... Q3(b)
It asks: WHY is it important to recruit staff... 6 marks.. ideas??
without looking at the case study
perhaps bcuz the staff currently eployed arent efficent in thier work
n they are not apprpriate for the jobs they are asgined
the job analysis would have been done latly n the staff which are curenntly doing their work arent right.....

the dam should be built correctly with good quality and this requires highly skilled employees, this will in turn improve the profitability and reputation of general electric, GE aslo must ensure that the dam is built fast enough efficiently, make sure you like it properly to the case study for full marks, you could also mension some disadvantages like high labour costs, and motivation problems
HOPE THIS HELPS

i always mess up with this 1:
what are the advantages and disadvantages for a break even chart to managers?
Break-ever charts, first of all identifies the profit margin... that is how much they have to produce or sell before they make profit. Next, it helps them to forecast the future sales and identify problems if they r making loses or making enough profit for owners or shareholders. This will also help them to identify tht if their costs or production are high, they need to take steps to reduce cost to make higher profits. Usually its done by reducing labour costs and try to gain Economics Of Scale.
Hope tht helps:)

Market research is 2 types.
-Primary which is first hand. A trusted source of information as its done by business itself. It can be done by interviews, questionnares, face-to-face.
-Secondary which is 2nd hand. Can't be fully trusted. It can be done by using external sources of info like newspapers, government analysis published in magnizes, other companies data.
The 4 P's ur saying is part of Marketing Mix but not Marketing Research ;)

Marketing Mix research is more about how to analyse company's own functions to be stable in market for its product. Place is where does company sells its product. It needs to identify what type of product is it and then choose where to sell it. Then, Price. It needs to set right price for its product. They can use pricing strategies for tht such as Cost plus or skimming strategy for entering in new market if its new product. then, Promotion is basically advertising the product choosing correct medium and then keeping it constant considering its cash flow internally. Then, Product itself, if it needs new editions or change something tht is faulty. Thts is mostly.
Hope that helps! :)

Marketing Mix research is more about how to analyse company's own functions to be stable in market for its product. Place is where does company sells its product. It needs to identify what type of product is it and then choose where to sell it. Then, Price. It needs to set right price for its product. They can use pricing strategies for tht such as Cost plus or skimming strategy for entering in new market if its new product. then, Promotion is basically advertising the product choosing correct medium and then keeping it constant considering its cash flow internally. Then, Product itself, if it needs new editions or change something tht is faulty. Thts is mostly.
Hope that helps! :)
amazing...thankyou..but i want to ask..in place should there be channel of ditribution described as well.???
No.. i dont think thts plays a great role in placing product.. Channels of distribution are more towards how company wants to increase its market of product. For example, does it find it really diffucult dealing with 1000s of consumers and tht costs a lot? so it wud then find another channel of distribution to decrease its cost and increase its profit. Marketing Mix - Place is more about getting new markets for the product. If one market is saturated with the product and now sales are going down, it wud introduce the product to new marker(new place) to increase bak sales and keep its profit high enough.

depends on the question 4 eg if da company mentioned is planing to sell export 2 other countries then u could say by using an agent to sell goods aboard

yea tht could be said.. but then question wud have different angle.. if it mentions marketing mix or marketing research comparing other companies.. then its mostly about 4 Ps. Again, exporting would be entering new market, introducing product to new market if not already did. Thanks anyways :)

Please !
dude if u cant find anything in the book just go to wikipedia.and i assure u..u only need to know the adv and disadv and they are for capital internsive-lower average costs which results in low prices charged for products leading to high revenue.No need to employ skilled labour so labour costs go down,Relatively unskilled workers are needed so no need for training,high efficiency.or u want more?? disadvantages of capital include high capital required,one machine breaks down whole process comes to a halt,very boring work,low motivation etc
advantage of labour intensive include quality products while disadvantage include high labour costs and jealousy among the workforce
for the Channel of distribution.jus see what each 4 channel of distribution is abt..like in first it is direct Producer to the consumer done for example by mechanic shops etc the second is Producer to the retailer to the consumer like for example tesco shops
third one is abt Producer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer..this is done in case of fruits and vegetables.firms go for it as they recive discounts on bulk buying.fourth one is producer to agent to whole saler to retailer to consumer...this happens in export markets when the firm wants to export it would hve to contact the agent for knowledge abt the local market
hope it helps and +rep:D

noooooooi gave all the ratios, i only made a silly calculation mistake in the acid test ratio i did 21000-1000=10000
AND I JUST CAN FIGURE OUT WHY!!! :@:@:@ AAGHHH!! I HATE IT!! ALTHOUGH I GOT AN A* IN MY MATHS IN NOV08!! :S
hehe, mm.......like 135/200 is an A, and and an A* doesnt only depend on the grade but the quality of ur answers so i guyss its like 185/200 or maybe a bit lower :)
-
The acid test ratio was : 21000 - 10000 / 20000
you get 1
The one indicates that its perfect at this stage and it can pay short - term debts
check in ur book
Current assets - stock
-----------------------
current liabilities

i only had trouble wid 1 12 mark question
da financial situation bit
bt everything else was pretty good
you just hav to b sure dat u linked every point to python bicycles
like da promotion question
i wrote dat dey cud give persuasive advertisement to not pollute wid cars and buy bicycles cos dey dont make pollution, and if dey change da product to childrens bicycles den dey wud hav to make da advertisement appealing to kids as well as parents and make da packaging more attractive
and dey cud give gifts such as toys since dey were taken over by a toy company
i also managed to fit in da definition of promotion too and advatages and stuff
