  1. Hi Mike,

    I just watched all three lectures on the Corporate Governance and I would like to say a massive THANK YOU! You’ve made it so easy to understand and follow, I actually I feel like I have learnt a lot this evening (also think that using the textbook and other sites for the last few days for the same topic was a great waste of my time! 馃槢 )

    So once again, THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!

    I am actually looking forward to doing the next chapters tomorrow – WOW! 馃檪

  6. This new vimeo platfoam on OT to deliver the lectures is not alright unlike the previous time. I have a super fantastic web connection yet this vimeo keeps jamming!

    Any help will be highly appreciated.

  8. Sir, you said in the lectures that the deep sea creatures are also stakeholders in some way. Did I understand this wrongly? Can you pls. explain?

    My another concern is whether P1 difficult to pass? I am planning to do it just by listening to the OT lectures notes and Kaplan notes and revision kit. will this suffice?

    • Answering your first question. The deep sea creature is a stakeholder. For eg a chemical factory dumps the chemical in the water and therefore polluting the sea which will endager their lives. This is a more direct relation. If we think more there could be numerous relations in more indirect ways.

  11. Hi Mike.

    i was just revising the Q4 part a for P1 june 2012 exam.The question clearly ask you to compare but when reviewing the answers the examiner provide a contrast answer.Could you please enlighten me on this.

    Thanks

    • Compare and contrast are very closely related. If I compare something with another, it’s like having 2 objects, one in each hand, and finding their similarities but, in doing so, you are also effectively saying that whereas this one is round, the other one is ovoid

      Now that’s a comparison but it’s also a contrast

      If it were me facing such a question, I believe that I would read the requirement as “Compare and contrast …..”

  14. The point Mike made about ideas taken as fact upon which action can be justified to a certain group is a valid point.

    But there are interesting nuances to the whole issue of the war on terror as a risk management strategy. ie It was not a very good one.

    Thanks in advance for my next blog article.
