    Hello Sir,

    Upon analysing the performance of the 4 companies,can we add further (but briefly) on how the EA group helped to add value?

    Like I saw that you mentioned the acquisition of ENCOS being parental developers by EA group, as they might be providing them with some marketing experiences.

    Explaining further, I would like to add that acquisition of Neach Glass was “synergy managers.” And acquisition of Steeltown information technology to be “portfolio managers.”

    Is it appropriate to mention them under performances?

    Thank you.

      There is no hard and fast rule. However, something like 1% is insignificant but 20% is usually regarded as pretty good.

      With several products, the market shares allow you to rank the products.

      Remember, BCG uses relative market share which is

      Your market share/largest market share.

      This can obviously never be more than 1.

      Try searching for the paper by date (ACCA P3 2012 December) in your browser, there are other sites where you can find old papers that are not on the Accaglobal site any more.

        Try Google. Enter ACCA P3 December 2012. Add a question name if you know one.

        Usually works.

    Could you not use the balance scorecard to analyse the performance of the IT company? You have the lack of innovation, the improving customer aspects and the improving internal business.

    Hi

    Really good lecture. I’m just wondering if when in the exam it asks a question like this whether you should work out the gross profit for each year with oppose to the first year and last years given…? Would you gain any extra marks for this?

    Thank you
