Enterprise and Marketing
Types of Market ResearchMarket research
Market research can help businesses find out lots of information, including whether there’s a gap in the market. To do this businesses can carry out different types of market research. Sometimes a group of customers will have a need
that isn’t being met. This is a market opportunity. A business will want to develop a way to meet the customers’ needs before its competitors do.
What you need to do:1. Create flash cards on the key areas of this page.2. Keep testing yourself regularly 3. We will be assessing you in class4. Your coursework will based on market research
Primary research - this is doing the research yourself.1. Primary research will involve things like questionnaires, phone surveys, interviews and focus
groups.2. It’s useful for finding out new information, and getting customers’ views on your products.
3. A business can’t ask every potential customer for their views – they generally ask a sample of people.
4. Large samples are often the most accurate but they are also very expensive. Smaller businesses may have to make compromises here and use small sample groups to keep their costs down.
5. Businesses can save on costs by carrying out research over the telephone or via the internet rather than in person.
6. Primary research provides data that is up to date, relevant and specific to the businesses needs.
Secondary research- is looking at other people’s work1. Secondary research gives businesses access to a
wide range of data – not just the views of their sample groups. Its’s useful for looking a the whole
market and analysing past reds to predict the future.
2. It involves looking at things like market research reports and government publications, also
newspaper and magazine articles.3. Sometimes it might be relevant, reliable or up to
date.4. It is a cheaper option over primary research
methods.
Sources of finance Reasons firms need finance
There are five main reasons why businesses may require finance these are:1. New firms need start up capital.
2. New firms often have poor initial cash flow.3. Sometimes customers delay payment.
4. If a business is struggling it may need additional finance to meet its day to day running costs.5. Firms may need finance in order to expand e.g. buy larger premises
What you need to do:1. Create flash cards on the key areas of this page.2. Keep testing yourself regularly 3. We will be assessing you in class
Small firms – sources of finance 1. Government grants are often given to qualifying new or small firms. Unlike loans, they don’t have to
be repaid. However, there are fewer options than for loans, strict criteria may have to be met to qualify for them, and the money may have to be spend in a specific way.
2. Trade credit – businesses may give firms one or two months to pay for certain purchases. This is useful for a small firm as they have time to earn the money needed to pay the debt. However, if the
firm makes the payment too late they could end up with a large fee.3. Overdrafts – these let the firm take more money out of its bank account than it has paid into it.
Overdrafts can allow businesses to make payments on time even if they don’t have enough cash. However there can be higher interest rates chargeable.
4. Loans there are three main types – bank loans, mortgages and family and friends . 1. Bank loans are quick and easy to take out. Like with overdrafts, they are repaid with interest
and if they aren’t repaid, the bank can repossess the firm’s assets. However the interest rate for loans is usually lower than for overdrafts.
2. Mortgages are loans used to finance buying property. The property can be taken by the bank if the individual cant pay off the mortgage.
3. Family and friends - the money lent is available almost immediately however usually in exchange for a share in any profits.
Business Studies
As computers develop and computer use increases, people are finding more and more ways to use computers to their advantages but often to the disadvantage of others. More and more laws are being passed concerning computer use and this is due to the rapid way in which this technology develops. There are 5 major laws concerning computers which you should be aware of:
Freedom of Information Act
(2000)
Data Protection Act (1998)
Computer Misuse Act
(1990)
Copyright, Design and Patent Act
(1988)
Creative Commons Licencing
“Enabling the general public to
have access to public sector information.”
“Ensuring that companies that obtain personal information do
so appropriately and securely.”
“A law which makes it illegal
to gain unauthorised
access to networks and to
create / distribute malware.”
“Allows people to enable their
work to be shared, copied
and edited without users
breaking copyright law.”
“Protects intellectual
property, making it illegal for
people to copy and share other people’s work.”
Task 1 Create a revision booklet that explores each major law in detail. In the new academic year, you will be asked to
reproduce the resource without any help. Task 2 Complete Component 02 – Computational Thinking, Algorithms and

What did David Lloyd George want? (2 marks) He had won the 1918 election by promising to ‘make Germany pay’, but really he wanted trade with Germany and to increase the British Empire.6. What was the Peace conference like? Chaotic. Wilson could not agree with Clemenceau. In the end, Lloyd George made them compromise7. What were the territorial changes made under Versailles? (3 marks) Germany lost all its empire, 10% of its land in Europe including Alsace-Lorraine, the Polish Corridor (West Prussia and Posen) ; Anschluss with Austria was forbidden.8. What were the Military restrictions made by Versailles?

Profits from the Saar coalfields to go to the French for fifteen years.Germany had 66 years to pay and could pay in gold or goods.10. What was the war guilt clause? (2 marks) I Germany had to admit responsibility ‘for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied governments and their peoples have been subjected as a result of the war’. This was the justification for reparations.11. How did the Germans react? (3 marks) Outrage that it was a diktatThey especially hated Article 231, believing that Russia had started the war.

PURPOSES of Media Products
Producers might create media products for:
Information, Entertainment, Escapism
Profit, Community benefit, Raising Awareness
Critical acclaim, Inspiration, Experimentation
SOCIO-ECONOMIC Groups
A - Higher managerial, administrative, professional e.g. Chief executive, senior civil servant, surgeon
B - Intermediate managerial, administrative, professional e.g. bank manager, teacher
C1- Supervisory, clerical, junior managerial e.g. shop floor supervisor, bank clerk, sales person
C2 - Skilled manual workers e.g. electrician, carpenter
D - Semi-skilled and unskilled manual workers e.g. assembly line worker, refuse collector, messenger
E - Casual labourers, pensioners, unemployed e.g. pensioners without private pensions and anyone living on benefits
PRIMARY & SECONDARY AUDIENCES
The audience that the media producer targets is called the PRIMARY audience. This is the audience they intend to target – ie Children are the primary audience for Disney
Audiences that engage with the product who are NOT who the media producer intends to target is called the SECONDARY audience – ie parents are the secondary audience for Disney
Audience RESPONSE
Preferred Reading – the audience respond to the product the way media producers want/expect them to without questioning – these are passive audiences
Negotiated Reading – the audience knows what the producer wants us to think, knows why that might be an untruthful representation, but forms an opinion which is a combination of both – these are active audiences
Oppositional Reading – the audience completely reject the product’s message
Everything we see in the media is constructed – the people, places, issues and events we see are a re-presentation of reality. When analysing a media text you should consider:• What is being represented? To whom?• Is the representation positive or negative?• How might different audiences ‘read’ this
representation?
AUDIENCES can be segmentedby: AGE, GENDER, ETHNICITY

FunctionalismFunctionalists believe that each part of society has a positive function [a job to do]. This makes sure that society runs smoothly and everything stays in harmony (social order). Functionalists see society based on consensus(agreement). In society we cooperate with each other which keeps society orderly. Parsons calls this value consensus. To understand functionalism a biological analogy can be used (comparison).We can compare society to the human body. They call this organic analogy. Functionalists argue that they work in very similar ways to each other. For example….
The organs work together in the human body to keep the body healthy.
The social institutions work together in society to keep society functioning and healthy.
MarxismMarxists claim that society is influenced by the economic system which is known as capitalism. This is where trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state (government). Private owners are people who own a business. Marx calls these people the ‘bourgeoisie’ or the ruling class. The working class are known as the proletariat. They are the ones who own nothing and therefore are forced to work for the bourgeoisie. The relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is based on exploitation. They profit from their hard work by paying low wages. This leads to conflict between the two classes. The working class accept this exploitation because they are brainwashed into thinking that society is fair.
FeminismFeminism looks at gender inequality and discrimination in society. Discrimination is when certain groups e.g. women are treated unfairly. Feminists aim for men and women to be equal in society because they believe that society is patriarchal (male domination over women). They argue that all parts of society are patriarchal e.g. the family, education, the workplace, the media and the criminal justice system.
They argue that we learn our gender identity through gender role socialisation. It is this that teaches us to act in the appropriate way for our gender.
Sociology is the study of society. In sociology we try and look at society in a different way and we question everything!
Every society has their own culture that they are socialised into. This is so that individuals learn the norms and values of the society that they live in. A culture is a way of life of a social group.
Key Theories
Sociology
Unit 1
Childcare provision The responsibilities of early years workers working with children in settings. Timekeeping and attendance - of children e.g. register/lateness/ reporting non attendance/informing parents but also you should be on time and contact supervisor if not attending given a reason why e.g. illness/ car broke down etc.Managing Behaviour – Praise/sanction/be consistent, unsure how to handle refer to experienced staff or send an older sensible child for helpPositive attitude – smile, offering help, ask for extra things to do, go the extra mileRoutines – Know what is expected /daily timetable/ stick to routines of the setting Her role and the expectations of staff/tutor – act professionally you are a role model who is trusted /meet with manager and discuss concerns. Rearrange meeting if you cannot attend. Poor performance – on phone ignoring staff,/not signing in /out, talking to parents about other children, not tidying up spills….. ALL IS DANGEROUS! Why? Policies and procedures – MUST follow Early years foundation policy, Health and safety, safe guarding, equality and diversity policy, SEND policy. What happens in the fire drill? Who is the first aider? How do we store and administer medicines. Parents must be aware of policy e.g. website/ letterConfidentiality – do not pass information on outside setting. Information stored securely don’t post on social media or take photos without parents’ permissionPaperwork – you may have college or work experience for your supervisor needs to fill in e.g. attendance, hrs of work, what you have been doing. Give safe early, don’t hassle them.DBS check – age of 16 will need to be checked for a criminal record to see if you are suitable to work with children. Cannot work with children without one…. it’s the law.
Child Development and Care
Child Development and Care

that have been damaged.
23. What does mitosis produce? Two identical cells.
24.What are stem cells? Cells that have not yet
differentiated or become specialised.
25.What are the main sources of stem cells? Human
embryos and adult stem cells from bone marrow.
26. What can stem cells be used for? Replace faulty blood
cells, producing nerve cells to treat paralysis and
therapeutic cloning to form organs
27. Why are some people against using embryonic stem
cells? They are seen as a potential human life that is
destroyed
28. Where are stem cells found in plants? In the meristem of
roots and shoots where growth occurs
Science
B1 Cell Biology
29. Define the term diffusion. The spreading out of particles
from an area of high concentration to an area of low
concentration.
30. What states of matter does diffusion happen in? Liquids and
gases.
31. What factors will speed up diffusion? A large concentration
gradient and higher temperatures
32.What is the role of cell membranes? To let substances in
and out of cells.
33. Define the term osmosis. The movement of water
molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a
region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water
concentration.
34.What happens if you place cells in pure water? The cells
take in water by osmosis and swell.
35. Define the term active transport. The movement of particles
from low concentration to high concentration. The process
requires energy.
36. Where does active transport occur in plants? In the root hair
cells when they take in minerals from the soil.
37. Where does active transport occur in humans? In the small
intestine when they absorb glucose into the blood.
38.What features make an efficient exchange surface? A large
surface area to volume ration, thin with a short diffusion
pathway.
39. Where does gas exchange occur in the lungs? In the alveoli
40. How are the small intestine adapted for diffusion? They
have villi to increase surface area and have a good blood
supply .
B1 Cell Biology
41.What are the gas exchange surface in fish called? Gills.
42..Whats are gills made from? Gill filaments which have a
large surface area and a large blood supply. 43.Where does
carbon dioxide diffuse into a leaf? Through the stomata
44. What controls the opening of stomata? Guard cells.
45. What covers the top of the leaf? A waxy cuticle to reduce
evaporation of water from the leaf
Triple Biology only
46.How do prokaryotic cells replicate? Binary fission
47. State the conditions that bacteria multiply best in. Warm
environment and lots of nutrients
48. What can you grow bacteria in in a lab? Culture medium
49. What is the aseptic technique? Growing cultures in
sterile conditions
50. How can you sterilise petri dishes? Heat the dish to a
high temperature, pass an inoculating loop though a flame,
tap the lid onto the petri dish.
51. How can you compare the effectiveness of antibiotics?
By comparing the size of the inhibition zones (area with no
bacteria growth)
52. How do you calculate the area of a circle? πr2
Science
B2 Organisation
1. Put these in order of size: tissue, cells, organ systems, organs.cells, tissue, organs, organ systems
2. What are enzymes? biological catalysts3. State two factors that influence enzyme activity? temperature,
pH4. What happens if temperature is too high for an enzyme?
enzyme denatures, as the active site changes shape so the substrate can no longer bind.
5. State the substrate for protease: protein6. State the enzyme that breaks down starch: Amylase7. State the products of lipid digestion Fatty Acids and Glycerol8. What is the test for proteins? Use biuret solution. A positive
test for protein will show a purple colour.9. What is the test for starch? Use Iodine solution. A blue/black
colour indicates starch is present. 10. Describe the test for Reducing Sugars: Add Benedict’s solution
and heat in a water bath. Brick Red indicates a positive test for reducing sugars, although green-orange- red all show levels of sugars present.
B2 Organisation
11. How are the alveoli adapted for their function? one cell thick, good blood supply, large surface area
12. State 3 differences between arteries and veins. arteries have thicker walls, smaller lumen, no valves/ veins have thinner walls, larger lumen, valves
