Hi! For my Business IA I'm focusing the company's issue on cultural clashes. I've decided I'd use a fishbone diagram to search for the root of the clashes based on a survey that aims to classify how well accommodated the new employees feel. Do you have any suggestions of more diagrams I could use for differences of culture? If you have an example of IAs that have cultural differences as the main issue I'd appreciate you send it to me because I haven't actually found any yet despite being a topic included on the area of the ib syllabus. Thank you for your attention! I appreciate it!

Hi. I am currently working on a practice IA and needed some help. For my IA, I have chosen an article that essentially talks about a fossil fuel rebate and how it should be removed. So far I have written that the fossil fuel industry causes negative externalities and the removal of these rebates would help reallocate resources for incentivizing more sustainable methods. I know that rebates are essentially subsidies given to consumers to increase consumption, however I am stuck on the diagram as I am confused on how rebates affect the diagram. Would you please help me? Thanks in Advance

My subjects are currently English HL Economics HL Psychology HL Computer Science SL Spanish Ab Initio Math AA SL I'm conflicted between Business Management and Psychology for an HL subject. I'm way more interested in Psych, but I don't want to jeopardize my chances or anything. I think I'm going into the Business field after college, too. But BM is said to be a soft subject that lowers your chances at admission. I'm going to study in the USA, is BM seen as more prestigious there than in the UK? Should I change my subject? Would it be better for me to take BM or Psychology HL?

Hi, I am currently working on an economics IA, which uses a similar structure to one that scored well. The articles were different but on a similar topic (negative externalities with government intervention). I was wondering if this would count as plagiarism? I never copied anything, but there are only so many ways you can write something. Thankyou for your help

Hi, I'm currently brainstorm for my RQ. I am wondering if I can choose an NPO for my HL IA. The problem is that this NPO I want to do is run by high school students. It is like an sub-project of an bigger organization. It just basically like an extracurricular club, for student and core team to organize events. Under these circumstances, can I use this organization for my Business HL IA?

Hello, everyone! I think that when a producer expects that price will fall, he would supply more now for higher profit relatively. However, my teacher said that a producer begins to supply less because producers have to plan ahead, if he produces more now, he is likely to end up with a surplus in the future. I'm sooo confused...please explain this Thank youš

Hey everyone! It's great to be part of a community with fellow IB experts! I'm relatively new to this platform so feel free to suggest any feedback or any tips to consider while contributing. I'm currently in year 12 (second year of IB). One of the subjects I have taken is Economics HL. The one thing I've noticed was how time consuming I along with a few friends of mine who took the same subject found in writing down definitions for every key term while answering paper 1 questions and considering the current situation of coronavirus, the importance of this in IAs. So, I've created a super useful resource (flashcards with short, concise definitions) that contain…
