Rights and obligations of employers and employees refer to things such as duty of care, acting with skill, acting in good faith, etc. They would expect you to know about some of the existing employment relations legislation, but with the introduction of the Fair Work Act, I highly doubt it will...

A case study is basically a report on a real-life business. There are heaps of people doing them on Qantas. I suggest you grab a copy of a case study from the resources section of this website, cause you won't get above band 3 for your extended if you do not use a case study.

Yeah, rubric says you need at least one.

Well earlier, I made notes on both case studies under syllabus dot points, and for the past few hours I've been going through them (and posting on BOS).

Unitary - Employers and employees work 'hand in hand' in order to achieve common goals. I.e. a win/win situation. Any disagreements here are viewed as temporary. Pluralist - Recognises that employers and employees have differing interests and that conflict is a legimitate outlet. This...

Quoted from 'Business Studies in action, HSC 3rd edition', Chapman et al: "A polycentric approach to staffing is one in which personnel from the host country manage the subsidiaries, while the parent company personnel fill the key roles at company headquarters." "A geocentric approach to...

Or you could make up things about a real business. But at least make it plausible.

AHAH. Studying is very productive, aye? =o

Yes, but don't forget to introduce both businesses in your introduction/statement of purpose.

Yeah, you should probably pick it up. Has decent scaling, much more interesting than Advanced and given your past performance, you should be able to do well in it too. Also, it'll help with your Advanced course.

I did it the hard way by memorising. After 20 mins or so it becomes second nature. But don't stress too much about it, it doesn't seem a major part.

Given all this change regarding employment relations legislation, I doubt there will be that much on ER legislation, maybe just more on effective employment relations.

Answer should be C. The question clearly states gaining "acceptance in a competitive market quickly", i.e. market share, with prices lower than the competition, which is price penetration. Competition pricing is just based on prices of other competitors, and can involve setting prices lower or...

Well, a band 5 refers to getting 80-89, but that's the final HSC mark, not the raw mark. So you could get anything from the 70s - high 90s and still get a band 5, depending on your internal assessment mark.

He means the 'Ethical and legal aspects' on Business Management and Change, Financial Planning, Marketing, ER and Global Business. So basically it's things on inappropiate cut-off periods, deceptive advertising, unfair dismissal, tax havens and transfer pricing.

I'm debating whether or not to take Monday off to study for accel Business the day after.

Re: What question do you think we will get in the 2009 HSC Paper in Section 4? It's most likely not going to be on ER, due to all this ER stuff happening (phasing out of WorkChoice, introduction of Fair Work Act, etc.) I'll hazard a guess on Marketing/Financial and Global Business.

Section III is the stimulus response, so you won't need it. You need it for section IV though.

Probably not, but that depends on your previous knowledge of Chinese, and how much of it you can still remember. I've heard that its bloody hard, and doesn't scale that well either.

Well this is going to be included in a stimulus response question, if you have to develop a marketing plan for a specific product given in the scenario. For the extended, you will only have to describe/evaluate/whatever the marketing plan of a business in relation to your case study businesses.
