...the different business theories, concepts and techniques covered in this book. It is about devising a plan to achieve the long-term goals of an organization. The idea behind each section on Business Strategy is to allow students to apply the different techniques that will help to make more informed decisions. Business Strategy is explicitly assessed in Section C of Paper 1 for Higher Level students. There are three stages to business strategy: Stage 1: Strategic analysis — determining the current position of an organization. Stage 2: Strategic choices — determining where the organization is headed. Stage 3: Strategic implementation — determining how the organization should get there: The case studies in this textbook have questions directly related to business strategy; there are further examples in the IB Business and Management syllabus guide (pages 40-43). Formulating strategy Business strategy should focus on, among other issues: * Organizational aims and objectives * Stakeholder interests * Resources (human, capital and financial) * Strengths (and weaknesses) to be developed * The long term * The external business environment (e.g. state of the economy) * Customers and customer service * Quality management * Motivation of the workforce * Cost control.

...The Fiscal and Monetary Policy Lajeska Willingham Dr. Onipede Principles of Economics 08/24/2014 The role of government in the United States economy expand far beyond its activities as a manager of specific industries. The government also manages the overall measure of economic activity, seeking to provide immense levels of employment and substantial prices with two main tools for achieving these objectives: fiscal policy, through which it regulates the applicable level of taxes and spending; and monetary policy, through which it manages the supply of money. Discuss the current economic situation in the U.S. as compared to five (5) years ago. Include interest rates, inflation and unemployment rate in your explanation. Interest rates started out in January 2009 at 3.8% and by the end of the year in December 2009 the interest rates had been cut down to 3.2%. According to the daily treasury, interest rates are now at 3.16% which is a decrease from 3.92% from the beginning of the year. The buying power of the dollar has increased over the past years according to the consumer price index. If an item was purchased in 2009 at $20.00 that same item would cost $22.21 today which is at an inflation rate of 11.1%. The current economic situation in the United States is unemployment is still above its natural rate. The economy has continued to grow since the recession but, at a slower rate than what society would like to see. According to Time Business &...

...gender of students in KS3 and KS4 and the height and weight. The data I will use is secondary which I acquired from the edexcel website. An advantage of secondary data is that it is quick and easy to access which saves time than having to gather it yourself. On the other hand it can sometimes be unreliable and inaccurate which affects the results which are a drawback. Secondary data can also be out of date, which is a negative aspect, as it is better to have the latest data in order to carry out an accurate and successful investigation. Primary data is information conducted by yourself, which is quite advantageous as it is more reliable than secondary research as the information is acquired by you and you get the answers to the exact questions that you carry out. However it is time consuming which is a drawback and also the more expensive to carry out which is a disadvantage. In my investigation I will examine the relationship between height, weight, age and gender so this is my line of enquiry. I have chosen to inspect this because it is said that the heavier the weight the shorter the person and the older you are the taller you are which is why I am investigating if this is true. If there are any erroneous results or outliers, I will replace them because they will affect the final outcome and give...
