University researchers want the government of Country Y to invest in the creation of a database of information about the lives of people who have lived in the country during the past 300 years. 
Population information is based on official registers of data about individual people. This data will include the person's name, the dates they were born, the names of their parents, the names of partners if they decide to marry, the names and dates of birth of their children and, finally, the person's date of death and cause of death. In the past this information was recorded on paper by hand, but today there are an increasing number of computerised databases that record this information. This will include data about the 58 million people alive in Country Y at the moment.
Additional data may come from government questionnaires that are circulated once every 10 years and completed by every household in Country Y all on the same day of that year. 
The system is intended to help the researchers analyse demographic change but it will also be useful to people who want to identify who their ancestors were and the links between families.
What THREE obstacles will the University researchers face in developing and implementing this system?

  1. This is a very large and expensive project for which the benefits will not be clear until it has been implemented.
  2. The data will be in many different forms and will be very hard to standardise and put into digital form.
  3. There may be resistance from members of the population to sharing this data and making it public.
  4. No database systems have been developed yet that are able to store, cross reference, search and report on this much data. 
  5. The individual data does not provide a comprehensive picture of the factors the researchers are interested in.

Answer(s): A,B,C



LLL is considering entering Country B to sell its zero emissions car.
LLL has invested heavily in fuel cell technology for its car. It does not rely on any polluting fuels for its energy. This means that LLL's car is the only true zero emissions car. 
Research conducted in Country B for LLL has revealed the following:
   • Country B's Government is concerned that all forms of pollution have risen to dangerous levels. 
* Despite being worried about pollution the Government of Country B has not yet adopted taxation policies to encourage the use of low pollution cars.
* Drivers choosing a car continue to rank the speed and appearance of a car very much higher  than its impact on environmental pollution. 
* About 2% of motorists own an electric or hybrid powered car. 
* A high rate of sales tax levied on the price of new cars in Country B encourages motorists to continue to drive older, more polluting, cars.
LLL recognises that it needs to plan its strategy for Country B over the long-term.
Which THREE of the following strategies would you advise LLL to use to build its long-term sales in Country B?

  1. Meet relevant members of the government of Country B to present the value of including emissions from electricity generating stations in their calculation of vehicle pollution to help reduce pollution.
  2. Sponsor environmental groups in Country B to launch a campaign to take older cars off the road by calling on government to reduce the sales tax on new cars according to its emissions.
  3. Try to win the affection of motorists by donating funds to campaigns that resist attempts by the government to impose taxes on cars, according to the pollution they generate.
  4. Approach government lawyers in Country B and offer to engage them as paid consultants in exchange for their help in drafting taxation legislation that favours zero emission cars.
  5. Provide schools and colleges with pre-prepared lesson resources that teach the science behind fuel cell technology and why it leads to zero emissions.
