I think it's because the syllabus was changed recently.

the syllabus has changed. did you go thru the syllabus for 2012's examination? the above topics aren't mentioned in there.
umm i don't know if this is wise but i'd recommend not practicing from the pp, as they do contain questions that are out of course for this examination and you're bound to get confused. just study everything in all the topics, be prepared so well that you'd be able to answer any kind of question from among our topics. Also, i have some sample revision essay questions with me, i could give them to you if you like, for practice.
Good luck! :D

Advantages of a family business:
- initial costs and losses are easily shared.
- later success benefits the family as a whole.
- enables the family to be togther.
- family members may trust each other more than the outsiders.
- family can help and are inexpensive during the developement period.
- family wants the opportunity to help the business as it benefits the family as a whole.
- flexible hours, days and pay are attractive to family members initially, using minimum resources.
- the business brings family back together.
- family members join the family venture because they're frustrated with their current work place and environment.

Disadvantages of a family business:
- largely interpersonal issues; experience role reversals.
- resentment can build if a family member isn't adequately challenged and rewarded.
- issues concerning power, rivalry and jealousy are common between family members.
- taking in consideration a family member's personal interests, skills, experience and training when assigning areas of responsibility.
- defining, exactly, each family member's area of responsibilty.
- defining who each family member is accountable to, and for.
- determining compensation structures (salaries, bonuses and equity stakes).
- determining how problems will be solved.

if you have problem understanding any of them, feel free to ask. :)

i think every multinational business is a multi site but not every multi site is a multinational. bcoz multi site can also be in the same country or city.
