    Notes and lectures are not identical. For example there might be examples given in lectures that are not in the notes; there might be details in the notes that are not in the lectures. This is normal. A lecturer is unlikely to go into every detail that is in a text

    Lectures and notes are complememtary and should be used together.

    In addition notes are notes not text books and will never cover topics in the same depth as text books. However, we aim to cover the syllabus and if you see discrepancies let us know and we will investigate.

    The notes, lectures and, MOST importantly, question practice usinga re ision kit from BPP or Kaplan will give you an excellent chance of success in the exams.

    Thanks Ken. I really appreciate this lecture more so with the explanation of the models and matrices (BCG, Ansoff, PESTEL, Porter, SWOT etc.) compared to the details of study text.

    Hello. In the last but two slide of advantages for strategic planning the following is listed "it can take time to implement new plans and it can also take time before changes have a noticeable effect". Why is this considered an advantage? Thank you!

    A plan (eg for 5 years) can encourage patience. Many projects show losses for a few years before breaking into profit and managers can become discouraged unless there is a plan holding out the hope of a golden future.

    Hi

    Could I get a link for the older acca past exams papers that are mentioned at the end of the lectures so I can do some practice e.g 2007 2010 please
  10. kengarrettTutor
    There is no single link. You have to Google. Eg

    Wonderfully explained. Thank you, Gromit! :)

    Really excellent lecture. Thank you so much Gromit!

    The use of real-life examples to explain the theory and models is exactly what is needed to get a deeper understanding of how to apply the models, rather than just aimless jargon and theory.

    Thanks again.

    Hello Gromit,

    Thank you

    Very good
  21. bobcat
    Very good lecture, very well explained, I must say, and the emphasis on how to approach the model was excellent. Thank you..
  22. salman
    new topics are not briefed as required .. also there should be bullet points explanation for topics like ( Burns and Scapens theory .. technology, Mgt structure, competition)
  23. kengarrettTutor
    The lectures and material are pitched at a level we think appropriate for the topic (and other comments on this page are positive). If you feel you need more you can buy a BPP text here:

    Great lectures but I suggest that respected teacher should look larger on screen, its difficult to focus in small corner.
  31. opentuition_teamAdmin
    make a video full screen :)
  32. kengarrettTutor
    I know I'm handsome, but it more important to concentrate on the rest of the screen than on me ;-)
  33. biggles
    Such modesty! Exceeded only by your good looks ;-)

    Sir! Can I marry you?
  34. John MoffatAdmin
    I think you are better off with just a small version somehow :-)
