Business Management HL practice: Use sales forecasting in marketing and capacity decisions
Business Management HL stimulus: Dunedin outdoor-gear repair co-op Alpine Loop Repair is forecasting sales before closing its shopfront and using mobile repair pop-ups. Forecast demand grows by 5%, while repair demand rises before ski season and drops in summer. Use the sales forecast diagram before deciding marketing or capacity action. Select the forecast method, forecast data, forecast use, and forecast limitation. Then answer this in your own words: how would this route improve the HL or Paper 3 recommendation for this exact case? AI will analyse your reasoning, resource evidence, HL tool use, social-enterprise or stakeholder judgement, implementation quality, and expression.
Worked practice: build the response
Work through the business response: concept focus, supporting evidence, the decision, then a reasoned judgement.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
