i got the shock of my life when a friend asked me if i did one....and i looked back at the paper and realised that i had to do one...and i didn't *cries*

a lot of people from my school made the same mistake.

did anyone else make the same mistake as me?!?!?

I did =)

Our business teacher reinforced we always had to use case studies, so I knew what to do. My main case studies for Q26 and Q27 were Tiger Beer and Hewlett Packard.

I found I couldn't refer to my case study in much detail but I did a few times so hopefully that still will be enough...

i was soo happy when it was about marketing cos like no offence but thats an easy topic. it was easy to make up a case study for those that didnt really have anything prepared.

i managed to incorporate two case studies, mcdonalds and l'oreal paris. i kept away from qantas and coke. *shivers* they're too common for comfort.

OMG

I referred to a case study. But I completely forgot to read the rubric as it says you can refer to 2! And my teacher and the markers comments say that the better answers had more than one case study! Fuck a duck! :( Ah well.

you didn't need a case study for question 26 :/
You always need to support your answers with a case study. That's what we were taught.

Our business studies teacher said we should write it as if we were writing for a real business, where people will always want proof that the suggestions are valid and achieveable through other business examples.

Our bizo teacher was the opposite, he over-stressed case studies, even for q26.

We all told him he was wrong, they're not in the rubric for 26, so they're not needed.

for question 26 you're supposed to refer to the stimulus material, not other case studies.

I referred to a couple of my case studies in 26 just as proof that what i was saying was proved to be successful.


Reffered to probably around 8 case studys in 27 and 2 in detail.

no, only the extended response question is the 'case study' one, not the business report :/


your teacher actually said that? :confused:

Is it ok to talk about the pricing strategy your business uses-penetration...and not talk about all of them? SAme with the distribution..I said ACP use intensive..I didnt talk about the other types.
