HSC Business Studies Question Thread

[TheFreeMarketeer]

no ways.... my teacher said the exact same thing yesterday!! 
i am looking for them so i'll definitely add some if i find them...
one for HR is: 25.9% of employees are part-time, a 5% increase with 2000

Are these statistics in reference to the essay or short answers?

Another thing my business studies teacher says is that the business studies rule number 567 states "when answering a question, do not jst exactly repeat the words of the question"
Is this right?

Our teachers must be associated (does your teacher know kent matthew?).... mine says the exact same thing

the essays... i'm not sure i would worry too much... our teacher has never done hsc marking or anything, i think its just a personal preference.. i got 20/20 for one of the extended responses in trials without putting in stats!!

hi
according to the Atarnotes business studies book- AWESOME BTW....
it refers to :
* more companies are entering international markets by exporting their products overseas.
*access to cheaper workforce that possesses the required skills with (sic) be a key consideration for a business
* the ability of labour to learn new skills will be affected by the country's education system

so.. what i gather is that it refers to the ability for a business to outsource and use skilled labourers overseas where labour and supplies are cheaper and widely available.

others will be able to add more

Thank you! Just needed something to talk about as it was a gap in my notes.

Thank you! Just needed something to talk about as it was a gap in my notes.

a bit of context to this is jic you need it:
Issues such as high domestic labour costs, a skills shortage, especially apparent in some industries, and a relatively small labour pool have made businesses re-think the management of human resources.

tia.

Unit trusts are basically mutual funds that allow funds to be pooled into assets that provide profit, which are then given straight to the owners rather than the business. They are set up under, what we call, a trust deed, and the owner essentially becomes the "holder" or beneficiary of those funds.

HEY BK!!

yep!!
it is a trust controlled by a manager/trustee and units are offered to the public for investment. The trust then pools these sales and invests them in financial assets
