    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.

      There is no single link. You have to Google. Eg

      ACCA P5 December 2009 question name.

    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.

    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)

      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.
