    Good day tutor,

    How detailed should a point be?

    For example….
    “The government is considering the imposition of import taxes. This would be a threat if Ling decides to enter the market place using the distribution company approach and keep manufacturing in Lindisztan.”

    The above will grant me a mark as it counts a point, right?

    But lets say I add another sentence…….

    “However, it presents an opportunity if Ling decides to acquire Flick and continue to run it as a Skod-based company.’

    Will I get another mark for this?

    1st point well explained and certainly worth a mark.

    2nd point not quite so well explained. Presumable it is an opportunity because it disadvantages companies exporting to Lindisztan therefore favours home producers. Better to really explain your reasoning.
