Sample cards

Three cards from the deck, as you will see them in BrainBerry: the question, the answer, and an explanation of why.

Influences on business

What problem does low unemployment create for a growing business?

Answer

Skilled workers are scarce, so recruitment takes longer and the firm may have to offer higher wages or better benefits to fill posts.

Why

Low unemployment usually means strong demand, so the firm gains sales but faces higher labour costs and a risk of staff leaving for rivals.

Marketing

What is primary research?

Answer

Information collected first-hand by the business itself, for its own specific purpose. It is also called field research.

Why

Primary data is up to date and exactly what the business asked for, but it costs more and takes longer to collect than secondary data.

Business in the real world

Give five characteristics of a successful entrepreneur.

Answer

Risk taking, determination, confidence, and being creative and well organised.

Why

These traits help an owner keep going after setbacks. They do not guarantee success, which also depends on demand and the market.
