Section IV - Extended Response (2 Viewers)

Re: Question 27.

hard question! I forgot to mention consumer types... damn I could hit my head against a brick wall for that one completely slipping my mind..

For the financial planning cycle, I went through them all but basically I wrote that Qantas had higher spending customers who brought in more revenue and that had more demands on spending, thats how they influenced budgets. Like they bring in a lot of revenue for their flights (put in statistics and that) but they also demand things like technology, luxury (i wrote they spent $300mil on technology). That was the jist of my essay - I included more things here and there - like more finance because of high earning customers leads to more risk, but also more demand for risk and entrepreneurial activity.

Then I wrote than in comparison to Jet Star's customers - they're a cheaper airline so they bring in less revenue (esp. cause they use loss leaders) but they spend less in technology; updates and that.

But since I didn't mention customer types - looks like I did that all wrong. Maybe they can understand that by mentioning 'Business people' I meant Businesses/firms? That's the only hope I have...If they sort of catch my drift. Because I did answer them I just didn't specifically mention the customer types.

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

Lets all stop bullshitting around. Those questions were a joke. Triple Barrelled? With huge content per area. It makes it so difficult to both structure, link, designate enough time to each area + incorporate case studies. The board of studies screwed up in my opinion. Look at last years if you want proof! It was essentially managing change effectively- link to effective ER. You cant get much easier than that.

Re: Question 27.

yeah that was the worst question ive ever seen it had to much content and it was very difficult to link the planning cycle with marketing strategies and customers.
see i ran out of time but i did a detailed scaffold or plan. How many marks do u guys reckon i could scab from the scaffold maybe 2 marks i dunno?

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

Yeah that was pretty hard!

I set qn 27 out like this over 10pgs: (I got the customer types wrong but hopefully they get my jist I answered it, just without the termonology which could've gotten me those few extra marks)

* Intro
* Qantas' marketing campaign for household (i just wrote patriotic citizens.. fml!) aimed at sparking patriotism etc... then I wrote because it was successful with customers, it was relaunched this year showing that since the customers responded positively to it, this affected the marketing strategies
* Different brand name for Jet Star (hybrid branding) to entice different customers - showing how dif. customers react differently
* went into a bit more about firms/businesses
* did a small/medium paragraph for the financial planning cycle segments- it was more organised than my marketing part...
* conclusion


a guy in my class did 24 pgs for both III and IV. lol. not quantity its quality but who knows - could've been quality also.

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

I know right, like how much content did you have to get down and link at the same time.
I got how to link them (q28) and what information i had to put down but in the time frame we had it was just too hard to finish, i have scribbley writing and dot points everywhere with unfinished sentences because there was no way i could get it all down in time.
Its pretty unfair of them to give us such a loaded question, i am pretty sure it was alot harder then the ones in the past exams but its not the level of difficulty that got me, it was that they wanted width aswell as depth and there just wasn't enough time.
I'd be suprised if my response wasn't more then a 14 with the disjointed dot point response the end of report style response was in. (I suck at essays so i prefer doing report style responses)

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

mine was about 6 pages for q 27, thought it was alright, but looking back it was a clusterfuck. i didn't link SHIT, just a bunch of random (made up on the spot of course) statistics, a VERY dodgy table and some suspect percentages about the local cinema where i work. hopefully its some senile old person marking it who cuts me some slack lol

lol i did my local cinema where i work ! haha

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

I had a major mental blank and completley forgot my case study! I think I did all rite for what I wrote. I wrote about 7 pages and put all the relevant info on financial and marketing strategies etc. Any ideas on how badly I'l get marked down?

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

haa man you can just make up your case studies they don't check as long as it sounds right but yeah i did q28 it was an analyse so all u had to do was find the relationships between research, marketing planand financial strategies but i reckon that it had three parts was heaps weird

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

i did q28 for section 4..i think i just wrote 5 or 6 pages for that.. i can say that marketing dominated the Business studies 09 paper.. (i focused on studying employment relations and financial management.. and i just revised the marketing topic when i arrived at school this mornin..) OMG.. :jaw:

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

Re: Business Studies Section IV: Extended Response

^

i did #27 and had no idea how to link it all together

i ended up randomly linking market strategies (distribution channel, promotion and pricing strategies) with the customer and then saying that expenses should be cut and financial goals set. I don't know the financial planning cycle >.<

what the hell is 'the customer' anyway

ME TOO oh god mine was in shambles lol
