Okey thankyou so much, i get it now, i still dont get market share :/
Suppose you're a producer producing laptops.
We'd assume that there are only 2 more supplier for the laptop. This means that the laptop market consist of only 3 suppliers including you.
The amount of supply you generate for the market is your market share. Suppose you cover up 20% of the total demand for the laptop, that's your market share.

Oh alright i get it now, so to sum that up market share would be the percentage of your unit shares as a proportion to the market itself?

Is this a good definition for the term entrepreneur, if 3 marks were to be awarded:

An entrepreneur is someone who takes the financial risk of starting and managing a new venture. They are individuals who set up their own business and have shown skills of entrepreneurship. They are highly creative and innovative and they are well known for establishing new ideas for a business. They invest their own savings and capital and they accept the responsibility of managing the business. They also accept the possible risks of failure in the business, if it were to happen.

What do you guys say?

There would be divorce between ownership and control as now if the company issues more than 50% of the shares thinking they will earn more regraded as a source of finance,then the company is at risk and the ownership could change its hands...In a sole trading firm the sole trader itself is the decision maker and in short the Boss but now in a plz he isnt as shareholders are involved!!!But now as he is getting it converted to a plc,hence there are certain complicated procedures to be followed before forming a plc!like sending a document to the Registrar of the companies!I hope its helpful!!

theres a question in the book which says: what is the difference between private sector organisations and public sector organisations. I would like to ask do i write this in a comparing format where i write one point about private and then one point about a public or do i just state everything about private sector first and then go on to talk about public sector?

I would suggest you to write it in theory form!!i mean ya you may have heard many saying make columns and all that bt the truth is that it is a childish way!!!now you are in as level and only applicable theory knowldge has to be well represnted with proper application and examples!!and so if u were in IGCSE the columnar format be probably be the best!!bt not in this case!!.:)
Evaluation is very important wherever required in BS
