Frequently asked questions

What is a chain of analysis in A-Level Business?+
A chain of analysis is a logical sequence of connected points that builds from a cause to its business consequence. It typically follows: Point → Explanation → Development → Further consequence → Evaluation. Examiners reward chains that show depth of reasoning rather than breadth of separate points.
How do you apply chain of analysis to the confectionery context?+
Link theoretical concepts to specific industry pressures — for example: rising cocoa prices (cause) → increased variable costs (explanation) → reduced profit margins (development) → need to raise prices or absorb costs (consequence) → evaluate whether this affects competitiveness depending on PED and brand loyalty.
