    My highest-achieving brother (in the Leaving Cert) told me I wouldn't beat him. This was the day before the results, the same time he also explained to me that the most important thing was beating all of your relatives. :pac:

    I beat him by 5 points. :cool:

    Sibling rivalry is the best motivation...
    I beat my sisters so far with the mocks and then my highest achieving sis ruined it by saying I may beat her points wise but I would never beat her A1 in english ... :(

    I hope the theme of Chemistry comes up in English.

    Ah, analysing a comprehension from a chemistry text book.

    My brother got 520 in his Leaving Cert and has always maintained that he is smarter than me. Despite this we are polar opposites.
    He works EXTREMELY hard for his grades, he kinda hates me for the way I do it :P
    Beating him will just be a nice touch.
    Also I think that that would be the highest of all of my relatives too. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Parents...520 is beyond rare in our family!

    Ha for the Junior Cert I asked my brother to help me with Science seeing as I was crap at it and he was studying it in college.

    The only words of wisdom he gave me were "I got an A in Science" and "I got 100% in the Science Christmas test in first year." :pac:

    You can match her A1 AND beat her points-wise if you write an essay on Pokémon. :D :P

    I dunno what the highest LC points in my family was. Pretty sure if I get 500 I'll have the highest, that's important like.

    BUT I WANT TO REPEAT MY MOCKS POINTS ;_;

    Yes but you successfully travelled back in time 12 whole minutes.

    He's an Entrepreneur managing to spot a market gap on which he can capitalise on by selling time travelling machines. It is important however that he develops a marketing mix which will be customer focused, meeting and exceeding their expectations. I could be inc charge of sales promotion and advertising. You can ensure that the product is able to pass the necessary quality controls such as ISO 9000 and Q-Mark.

    Nooooooooooooooo, examiners correct in red/green and it annoys them. Apparently it's best just to do them in the same colour you're writing with.

    ISO 9002 is also correct. The quality standards are generally grouped into the one category

    Desk research is quite beneficial in this case, saving me time and allowing me too spend less Capital on conducting face to face interviews.

    He will have to make sure to prolong the maturity stage of the product life cycle which is most profitable as the brand has gained recognition through the growth stage (due to large amounts of advertising). When it reaches the decline stage, the marketing manager must decide whether to pump money back into advertising or to let the product die out and be a cash cow.

    Yes but be careful the research isn't outdated Reznov, perhaps some primary research would be more appropriate.

    Perhaps they could simply redesign the products packaging to entice customers to purchase it? Or even market abroad. Although that in itself will raise challenges in terms of channels of distribution and appealing to different copultures while maintaining legislation.
    I really recommend licensing at that point however. Franchising will be too bothersome as he may have to provide support and advice to ensure success of his brand in the eyes ol loyal consumers.
