Legal and ethical considerations — IGCSE Enterprise (0454) questions by topic
Legal and ethical considerations questions ask why governments regulate businesses at all, why a specific choice such as recyclable packaging might be preferred, and analyse the effects of laws in areas like employment, production or marketing on a proposed business. Explain, evaluate, state, calculate and analyse are the top command words, with analyse asking for effects on a named enterprise rather than laws in general.
Marks span from 10 to 25 across the 7 real questions here, drawn from 2023 to 2025 papers. Submit draft analyse-level answers for instant marking to check whether you are linking a specific law or regulation to a concrete effect on the case study's enterprise, since that link is what separates a full-mark answer from a listed fact.
