Answer Pack IB Business Management, 3rd Edition Message from the author Dear Colleagues, BUSINESS MANAGEMENT – TEACHER PACK Thank you for purchasing my 3rd edition textbook and for the encouraging words that many of you have passed on from around the world. This Answer Pack contains suggested answers and mark schemes to all 209 examination-style case study questions in the textbook, IB Business Management, for use with the IB Diploma Programme, 3rd Edition. This Answer Pack is intended for use by teachers to aid their planning and teaching. I hope you will find these solutions are a useful starting point. As with all IB BM mark schemes, the solutions in this Answer Pack should be used with caution and some degree of flexibility. Students who take an alternative approach to the suggested mark scheme should still be credited where appropriate; teachers should use their professional judgement in such cases. The Answer Pack is more than 200 pages long, so colleagues may find the use of ‘short keys’ useful when searching for answers. By pressing the and keys together, you will be prompted by a pop-up menu. Type in the question number or key word(s) you are seeking answers for (e.g. ‘3.3.7’ or ‘Airbus A380’) and press and the suggested answers should appear right in front of you! I hope that you and your students will find the answers (and they are only suggested answers at best) useful in the teaching and learning of IB Business Management. Please feel free to contact me if you spot errors/ omissions or have any other constructive suggestions, and IBID Press and I will try to address these issues. The password-protected Answer Pack allows teachers to use the suggested answers and mark schemes with the comfort of knowing that students have not been able to gain easy access to these resources from the Internet.
