Tons of stuff for CRAMMING for Business (1 Viewer)

[The Expert]

Here's everything you'll need for cramming before the exam (besides a pack of No Doz):

Get onto the Business Studies Facebook page. 1150 members now. Just keep scrolling down to the bottom, there are hundreds of case studies, diagrams, videos and inappropriate jokes for everyone: https://www.facebook.com/HscBusinessStudiesCramApps

Also, the guy who wrote the Creative Business Studies textbook made a page of free multiple choice questions (that he wrote himself). I think there's about 80 questions, plus the answers. You have to go topic-by-topic though, because if you click "All Topics" it doesn't work. Here's the link: http://confidence.hscbusinessstudies.com/

And the Cram Apps for each topic are on the App Store. You could get through all the videos in one day (11 hours in total). 30 bucks to have a teacher visually and verbally explain every dot-point in the syllabus in one day? Yeah, it's worth it.

HUMAN RESOURCES: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/human-resources-business-studies/id562857395?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo=2

Make sure you copy all this in case someone takes it down (I don't know why, it's happened before though).

And please don't ignore your classmates if they need help - unless you came first all year and will also come first in the exam, their marks will affect yours. Do what you can for them; share whatever you've got.

tsktsk, viral marketing can be considered unethical in terms of engaging in unfair competition

It's frustrating to have resources that you know are helpful to students but not have some big marketing budget to let people know about them. Once people use them, they're always so happy with how good they are, otherwise I wouldn't do it because I'm not a prick.

And the fact that I used this to advertise the genuinely good resources of my competitor means nothing? Giving away hundreds of resources and tips for free is not unethical either. If I got told that my resources weren't helpful, I wouldn't try to get people to use them.

You know why schools use textbooks? Because publishing companies send sales reps out to schools to push their (often) shitty products onto teachers and co-ordinators. You don't like it? Don't use it, you sensitive little soul. Unfair competition? Against them? Your teacher didn't teach you shit about real business behaviour.

And I bet that, despite whatever you say, you still went on the Facebook page and took all the free resources and will get better marks because of them. You're welcome. But stay away from Facebook if you're worried about viral marketing.
