Higher Business Management - Exam Banker Questions

The following topics are ones that regularly come up in exams. There is no guarantee they will ALL come up but I feel they are good questions that are often asked and to be honest you should be maximising these.

So if you have a chance to gain 5 or 6 marks from one of these topics you should be aiming for the full mark.


Product Life Cycle
Stakeholders – Influence
Quality Methods (TQM, Benchmarking etc)
Job, Batch and Flow (Methods of Production)
Stages in Recruitment and Selection
PESTEC Analysis (External Analysis)
Market Research Methods
Ratio Analysis
Structured Decision Making Model – POGADSCIE
Types of Ownership (Ownership, Control, Finance)

Remember, make a note of small things in the book that you are unsure of and at least know what they are. You may be asked a small 3 marker on a very specific topic. It is unrealistic to know everything indepth, but use your common sense and your thinking skills to generate answers.

i.e. TCP = Time, Cost, People. (In other words how does the question affect these factors?)
