q1. i) i have not used any model for q1 as i found it difficult to put under any specific model but answered performance and future contributions fairly.. will i loose any mark for not using any models?
ii) not enough information found for time , scope , readiness and capability.. what u guys have written?
iii) bench marking was ok
q2. i) i used PESTEL and Strength and weaknesses
ii) this part i have written mostly from the website visitors problem.. hope ok..
q3. i started when only 5 mins left..
i) defined franchise with 2 adv and 2disadv..so all in all answered only 80… so im in real doubt.. but hope to get pass any how.. is it possible?
It depends on the marking scheme…if it specifically relate to model,perhaps the marks allocation will be different in certain element..If it,s not and require like two marks per relevant point,then your approach maybe ok..
Just pray hard and wish for all the best…
OMG,i still got P2 tomorrow…Goodluck everyone…@koscil said:
1q: (a) BCG – could be supported by lifecycle product framework (for evaluation of future contribution) (First – cash cow, Second – dog, Third and last – Problem child) (b) time, scope, readiness, capability if strategic change to be introduced – I think key was to relate to scenario and give examples from it (eg people not keen on another change in short time after stability introduced after outsourcing)
2q:(a) PESTEL – in my opinion the most helpful for structuring the answer(many things in scenario) , Mendelow rather not – as question was rather on strategic postion analysis not analysis of stakeholders (b) How to develop website – thing using survey hints was enough (at least 5 easy points for at least 1,5 -2 marks)
3q not solved
4q (a) decision tree and its limitations
(b) other things to consider when procuring software
(c) risks mitigation/avoidance – rather giving own ideas than specific theory
Last easy, but time management :(………and not finished a and b for
4qLifecycle…hmm another approach to the question…*marking down…good good…:)
Ya… i realised that too.It,s true…But i have categorised them in this way
1-cash cow 2-dog 3-star and 4-question mark(guess i am tricked by the comparative data)…Maybe Ashridge is more suitable for the question…Anyone use ashridge ?Can anyone explain to me how to assess contribution from SBU to parent using Ashridge?I think first question should be using BCG matrix to analyse because market share and market growth rate are available…Ashridge Matrix seem to be more appropriate on the fittness between SBU and parent…For contribution,the question asking what can the SBU contribute to parent(not the other way around)..Can anyone verify this for me?
For Question Two and Three,i agree with ekaterinapo1983.
