Abu Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I can think of questions:1. What is a socially responsible business?2. What is a joint venture and how will it benefit Les Maisonettes?3. What are niche markets?4. What are NGOs and how do they help communities?5. How does market segmentation facilitate marketing?6. What are economies of scale and how do they benefit the business?7. Evaluate the threat of competition.8. What are business plans and budgets? How do the forecasting tools help the business?9. Differentiate between the different management styles.10. What is absenteeism? How is it calculated?11. How does legislation affect Les Maisonettes?12. What is the business's USP and how might it help marketing?13. Evaluate the 4 options, and choose a suitable way forward.14. Find alternate sources of income that the business can implement.15. Seek ways of increasing occupancy in the months with low occupancy rates.They certainly won't be asking you to make any financials, but a breakeven chart might be in order.

lucifer Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) These are some of the questions we got. Hope you find them helpful1) In 2004, Sophie converted Les Maisonnettes to a private limited company. Do you think this was a wise decision. What are the advantages and disadvantages she could face. 2) Analyze problems that start-up businesses like Les Maisonnettes face.3) Discuss the role of Les Maisonnette’s mission statement in achieving Sophie’s objectives4 a) Discuss the impact of setting ethical objectives on the business? b) Analyze reasons why LM has chosen different strategies towards their social responsibilities.5) Discuss why LM’s consumer attitudes towards social responsibility may change over time.6) Prepare a PESTG ( G- globalization) analysis and use it to analyze the impact of the external environment on Les Maisonnettes 7) Evaluate the impact of the external environment on the LM’s objectives. 8) Explain how opportunities and threats can impact the options that Sophie is considering 9) In the light of Sophie’s plans for growth, describe the importance of information that could be detailed in a business plan 10) Apply the Fishbone analysis (Ishikawa diagram) to the four options for Les Masionnette’s future direction.

Guest Philippe Arni Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 i think it is because i am not in the VIP group. How do i join this group? I am sure i will be able to offer help and support at a later date but don't really know whet is needed yetHasn't your teacher given you one yet? Humm, anyways you need to pay for the services in order to profit from such downloads. Read the FAQ but I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out how to become a VIP and the process you have to go through Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
