\nnumber LOs and AC Suggested evidence
\nPASS Suggested additional evidence MERIT Suggested additional evidence DISTINCTION
\n1. LO1 AC 1.1
\n2M1, 1D1
\nLO2 AC 2.1 The learner needs to produce a balanced Assessment of a range of business techniques which can be used to analyse the international business environment. The strengths and weaknesses of each technique should be examined and the learner should make reasoned judgements. There should be a wide ranging assessment of the impact on economies of globalisation and international trade, leading to personal judgements. The learner should use examples to illustrate the points which are made. The exploration must be specific and detailed. It should cover a range of organisational structures and the learner should use examples to support the points made. The Assessment should consider a range of risks examining them from different perspectives. This must lead to valid conclusions based on reasoned judgements.
\n2 LO1 AC 1.2
\n1M1
\nLO2 AC 2.2. The learner must name the organisation. The analysis must relate to the micro and macro environments and each point needs to be examined in detail, so the analysis of the stated organisation is comprehensive. The learner does not need to use the same organisation for the assessment required for AC 2.2, although there is logic in doing so. Application to the same organisation will enable the learner to develop increased knowledge and understanding of the stated organisation. The assessment of the benefits, opportunities and challenges needs to be balanced and lead to valid conclusions. The assessment needs to be related to a stated organisation, be balanced and lead to judgements. The learner needs to consider the impact of working in the international environment on the success of the stated organisation and this is in comparison to work in other markets.
\n3 LO3 AC 3.1, 3.2, 3.3
\n3D1 The learner\u2019s work must cover both cultural and regulatory diversity in different international markets. The analysis will be wide ranging and the different points made should be considered in detail, showing the effect of these factors on actual business practice. The assessment needs to be balanced and consider the impact of CSR and sustainability in comparison to other factors affecting business success.
\nThe learner should consider the conflicts judging the information from different perspectives and making valid conclusions or reasoned judgments. The learner may refer to current research and use examples to support the Assessment as applicable. The learner needs to refer to a number of business organisations and produce a detailed comparison of the approaches which are taken to managing sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
