Re-quoting again, this is more or less the structure that I used: In the second section, I focused more on the Topic 5 'aspects of managing global business - marketing' than Topic 3's 'developing marketing strategies', but you still need to mention both of them in depth, while considering the...

It's spelt 'breeches' or 'britches' , not 'bridges'.

They are different; that is a fact. Also note that I never said not to say branding - I mentioned branding in some depth, when discussing the product section of developing market strategies. You needed to recommend a full global marketing strategy - that would include market...

You probably won't lose any marks, as long as you explained it clearly; you obviously understood what the question was asking, and the exact wording of it isn't particularly important as long as the CONCEPTS are the same. But using the exact wording from the syllabus and underlining it lets the...

Re: Business Studies Section II: Short Answer Very easy, 40/40. I'm incredible.

Re: Business Studies Section I: Multiple Choice 20/20.
