Except for one question

Sociology??? Idk. Maybe Paper 1 was hard for me because I hadn't studied properly. :/ How is your revision going on for P2? Which book are you using? I'm doing Education and Crime only.

thank you sooo much i have my exam on June2nd

Even I, also, would like to point out that Types of economies is no longer in our syllabus. I accidentally wrote it in the 11th point.
Also, forgot to add that you should study about communication methods and stakeholder objectives.
Best of luck for tomorrow!

This website has all the past papers, and they've sorted it by year, so its pretty convenient.
Note- The 2014 paper is missing. Idk why.

As for Case Study for Paper 2, just be thorough with your textbook. I feel that the textbook is actually pretty useful for Paper 2.
There's going to be four 8 mark questions and four 12 mark questions.

What I recommend you to do is prepare a for or against side for particular things in business. So prepare on stuff like:-
1) Advantages and disadvantage of Sole Traders, Partnerships, Private ltd and Public companies. Franchises may come, but its unlikely, since joint venture has been asked in Paper 1. Nevertheless, be prepared for this.
2) Methods of carrying out Market Research- Interviews, questionnaires, panel etc
3) Mergers and Takeovers.
4) Methods of sales promotion. Cover Methods of Advertising also
5) On the Job and Off the Job training
6) Location factors i.e. choosing between 2/3 location
7) Calculation of total costs, roce and other accounting formulas
8) Production methods. Not too sure about this, but it would be good to read up on job.flow and batch production
9) Trade Unions/ Methods of motivation
10) Channels of Distribution. The question may ask about alternative channels of distribution. Again not too sure. Its a possibility
11) Types of economies/ employment laws/ whether government should help businesses.

As of now, this is all that I can remember. Give me 3-4 days, I'll analyse some trends in the Paper 2s, and I'll try to predict which topics are most likely.
From this list, I'd tell you to focus a lot on topic 1,2,4,6,7,9,10,11.

Hope this helps a bit

i dont remember any question being asked on joint venture for paper 1 ?
btw did you analyse ??

Anybody know the objectives of a social enterprise? And are they important for paper 2?

Also are there any other major changes that I have to study?
