Measuring business size & multinational companies

Narrated lesson · press play

How big is a business, and how do we prove it? In this lesson you learn to tell market share apart from market growth, weigh up every way of measuring a firm's size, explain what a multinational company is and what it brings to a host country like Namibia, and judge how successful a business really is. These are classic AS analyse-and-evaluate questions, so we practise the exam skills, not just the definitions.
