PEELC Strategy: A Deep Dive into Business Success
Business in the Real World - Deep Dive 10: 9 Mark Question: Partnership Analysis: Adventures in the Real World
Episode 10: Business in the Real World – Tackling a 9-Mark Question - Adventures in the Real World
In this Deep Dive episode of the PEELC Strategy Podcast, we break down how to approach a 9-mark business studies question with confidence. Using a structured approach, we guide you through a real exam-style scenario where John is considering a partnership with Lucas to expand his Adventures business into ski holidays.
We explore:
✅ The advantages – Lucas’s local knowledge and financial investment could support expansion.
✅ The disadvantages – Differing business values and Lucas’s lack of experience could create risks.
✅ How to structure a strong answer using the Point, Evidence, Explanation, and Link (PEEL) method.
✅ How to write a well-reasoned conclusion, considering both short-term and long-term impacts.
Our final recommendation? Avoid the partnership and instead hire an experienced employee to minimise risk while still benefiting from local expertise.
Whether you're revising for GCSE Business Studies or looking to improve your exam technique, this episode gives you a clear strategy for tackling 9-mark questions effectively.
