Tales from the Board
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2011
I am an experienced UK based business teacher (and pre-fatherhood AS & A2 Business examiner), who discovered from his students that sometimes a revision video with someone talking you through it can be more helpful than just printed words and diagrams on a page.
All of my videos are free to for you share as you see fit, and I really don't even mind if teachers wish to use them for flipped learning or any other purpose.
It's all for the greater good. Please feel free to comment as you see fit, although all comments are moderated as this is essentially an educational feed.
Enjoy - I hope you get some use from these extended nuggets.
Video's uploaded are intended for flip learning, and are therefore not short summaries and revision but more indepth coverage. Be aware though that to keep them reasonably succinct some detail is truncated.

Mastering Multiple Choice Questions. Yes, really.
MC Questions are the low hanging fruit of assessments, but you may not be surprised to know it is where some kick yourself mistakes are made.
In this video I will talk you through a simple system to help eliminate mistakes and give you a better chance of success.
Based on AQA/Edexcel/OCR Business exams, but applicable to any assessment with a multiple choice element.

The Blake Mouton Managerial Grid showcases the varying positions a leader may adopt in respect to the focus they have on people and task/process. It varies from Tannenbaum-Schmidt, as this focuses on the power in decision making - but the two can be linked as can Blake Mouton to Douglas McGregor’s XY theories, Fred Herzberg, Abraham Maslow, and even Fred Taylor.

Kaplan & Norton's Balanced Scorecard
มุมมอง 2.3K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Kaplan & Norton’s Balanced Scorecard is a method of judging organisational success beyond the all too common (on The Apprentice at least) financial yard stick. A profitable business which is morally bankrupt may well present a very unbalanced performance with this measure. Robert Kaplan & David Norton published their theory in 1992 - it sits in the same field of thought as Elkington’s Triple Bo...

Introduction to Business Finance: Costs & Revenue
Am i cooked i took buisnesses and Econ for A level along with history,does that mean universities will not accept me
Not at all. It may narrow the field with some - but bear in mind that this video is ageing a little now.
Thanks this was really helpful, I want to do Maths, Business and economics and I want to do law
Best of luck!
I’m doing maths, business, economics and government and politics . I hope that universities won’t mind me taking both bus and econ
This was soo helpful tysm
very well explained
Hey I am planning to take Business , Economics and computer science in alevel. What business fields will be open for me and can I pursue computer science in uni without taking maths in alevel and can I do BBA?
If you take Business and Economics at the moment, there is no reason that any 'Business' field would be unavailable. With respect to taking Comp Science at Uni, you should look at the Unis published course information which will outline what they require (such as Maths) to take the course as either a mandatory or suggested GCSE. Don't forget that there are a large number of very different courses in each of these areas, and as such the qualifications that lead into them will differ. If you are in the UK start exploring course info therough UCAS.
@@talesfromtheboard9620I am not taking maths in alevel . So do they consider maths for gcse or olevel in some cases?
As I said before - best to check with course info for each institution that you are interested in joining. There is not a hard and fast rule.
Thank you this is so much clearer
very clear and precise explanation - very useful in fact
Kotter & Schlesinger i want to know full name. someone know?
John Kotter & Leonard Schlesinger.
really helpful!
I've been looking for these videos for hours, this is the only one that I actually understood... Thank you so much!
get a new mic bro
Yep, have now got one, but appreciate it won't help the sound on some of the older vids.
Is this still valid to this day
You are always best to check with each institution that you would like to apply to. This was research that was undertaken after the specifications changed last time (so current A level courses), so it is unlikely that universities will have significantly changed their position if at all.
ThAnks daddy
Thanks err.. son-ny?!
thank you so much you saved me!
good job Jon
TYSM I really understood Break Even
Hi there my business and economics teacher said he would personally give me £100 and a day off school if I could get the right answer to this Question What is the one thing that DOSNT involve business studies or economics. He said it’s quite obvious so any help here would be appreciated thanks.
Check how much of a pedant your teacher is. Is it 'involve' or be 'tenuously connected to'. If it is the former it could be something such as a sneezing fit. If it is the latter he will link it to medicine, absenteeism through illness etc. If it is 'tenuously connected to', ask him in return to name you something not connected to Science - offer him £200 and the fact that you will start to hand in some work... Pretty much everything is made of atoms for instance. Good luck.
Tales from the Board Thanks for the help, really appreciate it👍
Is the break even point similary to cost-volume-profit ? as in do i apply the same method to draw the graph
Yes, CVP shows exactly the same thing.
Spiffing
I say...
I actually knew about the Bowman Strategy Clock as I used this model during my assignment whilst studying for my MBA. However, the way you explained this model is by far the best way to understand the model. Well done.
Very well put together, really appreciated the brief yet informative synopsis. Only thing that needs improving is the microphone ;)
finally i understand it, thank you!!
Super sir... Helped me a lot to start new youtube channel.... Will be watching your channel to get more ideas... Looking for more vedios
Could the voice please be made louder?
Thanks for your feedback Fairuz. I do not have access to high quality recording equipment - it is very basic what I use. It is an area I am aware of and will continue to try to address.
Thank you so much I am currently revising for an exam and this has helped massively!
me too
perfection you taught me something in 20 min which my business teacher failed to do in a hour
i have an exam tomoz
this is so helpful thank you so much
Thank you so much! My business teacher doesn't like me very much so he refused to re-explain it to me and I am a new student in my school,so I dont have friends who would actually take their time to explain it to me. Well my teacher did take 2 days to make us properly understand its concept and my dumbass still didnt understand anything,However this video did the work in 40 mins for me!!

Best video👍extremely easy to understand massive help thank you
Great content
Simple and brilliant
Greetings from The Unicorn Circuit!
good video but it didnt need to be 20 minutes long u could of done this and explained while writing in like 5 mins
I really liked the pace, it allowed me to process the information before moving on.
Sir Business and Economics are they view equally in terms of superiority? Is there such thing as soft and hard? People usually say Business is soft and economics is hard.
So taking business won't affect my offer for university as long as it is preferred and if i get the grades required?
Thanks for the great video
i 100% advise someone to take business and economics at a level, overlaps quite a bit but i see no issues at all with it, business is a very wide range and covers a lot more but economics is much more in depth about a select amount of certain areas, if you have to chose one i'd take economics as its the highest paid degree apart from dentistry so looks great if u wanna go further with it and it's also more interesting imo, but business compliments it well because it gives you a better understanding on how businesses are actually run (as a lot of economics is just theory) so honestly taking both has been one of the best decisions i've ever made. PS: some top universities such as LSE will want maths if you're going to take an economics degree there so maybe that's not too bad to look into if you're good at it but i took chemistry instead and most unis will take it without maths (i'm going to Manchester to study international business, finance and economics) Gl everyone!
hi are you going to study IBFE in sep 2019? and wat a levels are you studying
How are you finding economics at uni without maths
Bro that’s really interesting and you’re correct about everything except one ! Computer science is the highest paying degree
Great video!
great
Hello, I would like to say thanks for the amazing video but also I am a GCSE student about to finish my exams soon and I do business but not economics. As I want to look into careers in Bsc management or finance, which subject do you think will be more useful in A-level, having already taken GCSE business?
I am currently in the same position you were in 4 years ago. What did you choose in the end? Thank you
Hi... Well Your Video was very helpful but is this research relevant for entries in 2018 or further! Actually I'm new to UK and am not knowing much about the system here!
THANKS!
Thanks man :)
you made me wanna go sleep but you taught me how to do the bep chart so thanks
Thanks man, i appreciate you x
very helpful. thanks.
Were the speech bubbles and bullet points from the original programme too?
Thank you for your insightful response, =).
