我们学过商务都知道,一个公司的营业额下降对公司很多方面会有影响,比如:
• profits
• re-investment
• source of finance
• profit-sharing scheme
• Affordability of market research/attendance at trade fairs, etc.
• Development of new products
我们在答题时,只需要选其中一个影响,并且把它解释清楚就可以拿到3分了。
参考答案:
With decreased revenue, PM may not be able to afford to develop a new oven, so it will not be able to compete against advanced products of its competitors. Consequently, its revenue may decrease further.
Q5: Analyse how PM could use the 4Cs to improve its customer relationships. [8]
题目分析:Analyse分析类题分值都较高,8分,在考试中我们该如何答题呢?
4分会考察我们对于4C概念的理解和掌握,另外4分则是看考生能否有理有据地进行分析
参考答案:
1. Cost to customer –
salesteam has reported that customers are more demanding when negotiating prices. PM may try to reduce the total cost by finding cheaper suppliers or relocating to cheaper premise, so they can cut prices to satisfy some customers who are sensetive to prices.
2. Convenience to the customer –

作为一门全是主观题的考试,如果只是背功很好,也许ALEVEL第一年的考核还能勉强应付,但到了A,如果你没有优异的逻辑分析能力与批判性思维,A2的商务是很难拿到高分的。这点对经济、历史等人文社科选课也同样适用哦。如果你不知道如何进阶自己的相关学习能力,可以点击预约试听【唯寻ALEVEL复习冲刺班】——
