1. Business Structure and Legal Forms | 企业结构与法律形式
A common exam question asks candidates to compare a sole trader with a private limited company. Strong answers mention unlimited liability versus limited liability, continuity of existence, access to finance, decision-making speed, and disclosure requirements.
常见考题要求考生比较个体经营者与私人有限公司。高分答案应提到无限责任与有限责任、企业持续经营、融资渠道、决策速度以及信息披露要求。

2. Business Objectives and Stakeholders | 企业目标与利益相关者
Define corporate social responsibility (CSR) and explain two reasons why a business may adopt CSR objectives despite higher costs. Model points: improved brand reputation, stronger customer loyalty, better employee motivation, and long-term profitability through stakeholder trust.
定义企业社会责任 (CSR) 并解释企业为何在成本较高的情况下仍采用 CSR 目标的两个原因。示范要点：提升品牌声誉、增强顾客忠诚度、改善员工激励，以及通过利益相关者信任实现长期盈利。
Questions on stakeholder conflict often ask how a manager can balance the interests of shareholders and employees. Answers can discuss profit sharing, fair pay, safe working conditions, transparent communication and employee share ownership.
利益相关者冲突类题目常问管理者如何平衡股东与员工的利益。答案可以讨论利润分享、公平薪酬、安全工作条件、透明沟通和员工持股。
3. Marketing Mix and Strategy | 市场营销组合与战略
Explain how the marketing mix can be used to move a product from introduction to growth in the product life cycle. Answer focus: improve the product based on feedback, use penetration pricing, increase promotion to build awareness, and expand distribution channels.
解释如何运用市场营销组合使产品从产品生命周期的导入期进入成长期。答题重点：根据反馈改进产品、采用渗透定价、增加促销以提高知名度、拓展分销渠道。
Evaluate the importance of price in the marketing mix for a luxury brand. Strong answers argue that price signals exclusivity and quality, but product design, promotion and selective distribution may matter more than low price.
评估价格在奢侈品牌市场营销组合中的重要性。高分答案会论证价格传递独特性与品质信号，但产品设计、促销和选择性分销可能比低价更重要。
4. Market Research and Demand | 市场调研与需求
Distinguish between primary and secondary market research, giving one advantage and one disadvantage of each. Primary research is collected first-hand for a specific purpose; it is up to date but costly. Secondary research uses existing data; it is cheap and fast but may be outdated or less relevant.
区分一手和二手市场调研，并各给出一个优点和一个缺点。一手调研是为了特定目的首次收集的数据；它及时但成本高。二手调研使用现有数据；它便宜快捷，但可能过时或相关性较低。
A common calculation question provides market size and sales data for a business and asks for market share. Remember: market share = (company sales ÷ total market sales) × 100%. For example, sales of 400,000 units in a market of 2,000,000 units give a 20% share.
常见计算题给出市场规模和企业销售数据，要求计算市场份额。记住：市场份额 = (企业销售额 ÷ 市场总销售额) × 100%。例如，在 2,000,000 件的市场中销售 400,000 件，市场份额为 20%。
5. Operations and Productivity | 运营与生产率
Calculate labour productivity and explain two ways to improve it. Labour productivity measures output per worker. Formula:
计算劳动生产率并解释两种提高方法。劳动生产率衡量每名工人的产出。公式：
Labour productivity = Output ÷ Number of employees
If a factory produces 50,000 units with 200 workers, labour productivity is 250 units per worker. Ways to improve it include investing in training, better machinery, lean production and improved motivation.
如果一家工厂用 200 名工人生产 50,000 件产品，劳动生产率为每名工人 250 件。提高方法包括投资培训、改善机器设备、精益生产和提高激励。
Another question may ask about the benefits and limitations of lean production. Benefits include less waste, lower costs and higher quality, but implementation requires employee cooperation and may disrupt output initially.
另一类题目可能问精益生产的优点与局限。优点包括减少浪费、降低成本和提升质量，但实施需要员工配合，并可能在初期干扰产出。
6. Break-even Analysis | 盈亏平衡分析
Explain the importance of break-even analysis for a new business. The break-even point shows the output level where total revenue equals total costs. Formula:
解释盈亏平衡分析对新企业的重要性。盈亏平衡点表示总收入等于总成本的产出水平。公式：
Break-even output = Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price − Variable cost per unit)
For example, fixed costs of 50,000, a selling price of 20 and variable cost of 10 give a break-even output of 5,000 units. It helps managers set sales targets and assess risk, but assumes costs are linear and all output is sold.
例如，固定成本为 50,000，售价为 20，单位变动成本为 10，则盈亏平衡产量为 5,000 件。它帮助管理者设定销售目标并评估风险，但假设成本线性且所有产品均售出。
7. Cash Flow and Working Capital | 现金流与营运资金
Explain the difference between cash flow and profit, and why a profitable business can run out of cash. Profit is earned when revenue exceeds costs, but cash flow refers to the timing of money in and out. A profitable business may face cash shortages due to credit sales, high inventory, large loan repayments or delaying customer payments.
解释现金流与利润的区别，以及为什么盈利的企业也可能缺少现金。利润是收入超过成本时产生的，而现金流指资金进出时间。盈利企业可能因赊销、高库存、大额还贷或客户拖延付款而出现现金短缺。
Questions on improving cash flow often expect answers such as reducing credit terms, offering early settlement discounts, leasing instead of buying assets, and improving inventory control.
改善现金流的题目常期望回答：缩短赊销期限、提供提前付款折扣、以租代购资产、加强库存控制等。
8. Financial Ratios and Performance | 财务比率与绩效
Calculate the current ratio and acid test ratio, and evaluate a firm’s liquidity. Current ratio measures the ability to meet short-term debts. Formula:
计算流动比率和速动比率，并评估企业的流动性。流动比率衡量企业偿还短期债务的能力。公式：
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
The acid test ratio removes inventory from current assets because inventory is less liquid:
速动比率从流动资产中扣除存货，因为存货流动性较差：
Acid test ratio = (Current assets − Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities
A current ratio of 1.5 to 2.0 is often considered healthy, but the ideal level depends on the industry. Ratio analysis has limitations because it uses historical data and ignores qualitative factors.
流动比率在 1.5 至 2.0 之间通常被视为健康，但理想水平取决于行业。比率分析有局限性，因为它使用历史数据并忽略定性因素。
9. Human Resource Management and Motivation | 人力资源管理与激励
Using motivation theories, explain how a manager can improve employee motivation. Taylor emphasises financial incentives such as piece rate pay. Maslow suggests satisfying needs from basic pay and security to esteem and self-actualisation. Herzberg argues that hygiene factors prevent dissatisfaction while motivators like achievement and recognition drive higher performance.
运用激励理论，解释管理者如何提高员工激励。泰勒强调计件工资等
