Building the Chain: How to Turn Business Knowledge into Top-Level Analysis
Manage episode 518604560 series 3628695
This episode follows up on our recent Business in the Real World assessment. It’s a focused look at how to turn good knowledge into great analysis — the difference between explaining what a business does and showing why it matters.
Dom revisits key questions from the paper, using real student examples from Fone Ltd, Suheila Web Design, TradeUp, and Amelia’s Phone Repair Shop to explore how to build stronger reasoning. The episode introduces the Chain Builder — Because, Leading to, Therefore — as a practical way to show cause and effect in your answers.
We also connect this to the PEEL C structure and explain when and how to finish with the short term, longer term, success depends on conclusion in 9-mark questions.
If you want to understand what examiners mean by “analysis” and how to reach the higher bands next time, this short follow-up is essential listening. It’s about making your thinking visible — building the full chain and finishing with clear, confident business judgement.
