    @trephena

    Hi guys I failed, and this the feed back from my marker. Please give me advice about this

    1. Understanding of accountancy/business model – PASS
    2. Application of accountancy/business models – Fail
    You have tried to apply too many models so your application is rather superficial in places

    The Balanced scorecard is not really suitable unless you have access to internal information and data and with the Porter’s 5 Forces suppliers extends to more than just those producing the aircraft

    Please stick to the original reporting currencies for the companies as used in their annual report

    3. Evaluation of information, analysis and conclusions – Fail

    The point of comparator analysis is to provide a benchmark from which you can begin to dig into the different management decisions that explain differences in performance. You must therefore expand your analysis to give reasons and explanations as to the differences in performance between the two companies, despite existing in the same industry and suffering similar external influences. Please remember that you have an upper limit on word count of 7,500. You have at least another 500 words to expand your analysis. And if you delete the QR section on p20, which adds nothing since an airlines inventory is so low, and remove the SWOT analysis of Virgin, your comparator company, you should easily be able to show breadth and depth in your financial analysis section to enable you to pass next time

    4. Presentation of project findings – Pass

    5. Communication – Pass

    6. Information gathering and Refrencing – Fail

    Reasons for fail and advice for improvement:

    You have a range of sources in your list of references, so it may be that you need to go back to these and read them more wisely to use the material to strengthen your understanding of the airline industry and of the companies that you discuss. However it may be that you need to go beyond these sources and carry out a bit more research. You must reference all of your work thoroughly so please consult Appendix 3 of the Information Pack for help with this as every fact, opinion and use of the work of others including annual reports and graphs should be attributed.

    7. Information Technology – Pass

    There is some question that i will ask you.

    1. With this feedback, do you think i should revised and change my part 1 and part 2 ? i knew i done terrible in part 3. But as i feel the feedback is more critize about part 3 and there nothing wrong in my part 1 and 2.

    2. Should i analize and explain what good or bad for competitor ?

    3. What is good in my thesis and what is bad ?
