Extended response (section 4) - case study question (1 Viewer)

[Rawf]

Hello,
I'm just curious on how they set out the 2 choices they give you in the extended response for the business case study.
Would they give you a question from different core topics? EG: 1 question from marketing and 1 question from operations... or is it possible they can ask 2 questions on operations?
Is it safe to study just 3 core topics for the case study? EG: the question is on operations and the other is finance, and I study for marketing, operations and HR (if they give you a choice of 2 different topic questions then i'll atleast have 1 topic I've covered?).
I had a chat to my teacher and she said if they give you a choice of 2, that should mean they're different topics... because they gave us an option?
What's your thoughts on this?

In the previous hsc exams they have done it where one topic is for both questions iirc.

Though it is the new syllabus so there might be some changes.

I heard in the past they didnt give a choice?

They did give two choices, except it'd just be on one topic.

Take for example, the 2009 Business Studies HSC Exam for section IV, these were the options:

Question 27 (20 marks)
Analyse how the type of customer a business has may influence its marketing strategies and its
financial planning cycle.

OR

Question 28 (20 marks)
Analyse how the market research process may assist a business to develop its marketing plan
and achieve the objectives of financial management.

Although question 27 had a finance part in it, they both had marketing.
