I didn`t consider Glass to be a cash dog… it was growing in a growing market, so it was rather a star…. but i don`t remember exactly so i guess there were some arguments.
I answered the first question using BCG and Ashridge. First was to assess the performance and second to assess the fit between of the companies within the Group…
I am interested if any of you have considered Glass as a Dog
EDIT Now i remember, Glass was growing in a stable/slightly declining market. This sounded more like a cash cow or something…

I believe SFA can be used to assess new strategies… actual strategies are already suitable, acceptable, feasible, because if they weren`t they wouldn`t be current strategies, right?
Hi guys.
Q1a was pretty obvious and i believe many of us did what it should be done 🙂
Q1b… this was pretty tricky. Generally I used SAF. For Suitability I used a Pestel analysis and 5 forces… but I got really into it and this took me like 6 pages (really really bad I know). For Acceptability I analyzed the stakeholders from Mendelow`s point of view. Feasability – I already spoke of the resources that the company had in Q1a. After that I came out with 10 different strategies that the company should implement, all of them linked with the SAF analysis… DO YOU THINK THIS IS OK?
Q2a. I believe this should have been analyzed with the framework of Balogun Hope Hailey regarding change. I got through all the 7 features in the framework and explained why it did not work (Time, Scope, Diversity, Capacity, Capability, and the other 2 that I always forget:)) Also, i categorized the process with respect to Harmons matrix and explained why i should have not been automated in the first place.
Q2b i made up a formal procedure for procurement and explained why each step in the procedure would have brought advantages to the company (opposed to the current anarchic procurement process).
Q4… I only got to do part a, but only a bit on it.
My bastard mind started developping very much on each subject, so I found the exam to be really time pressured.
Is there anyone who used Balogun Hope Hailey in Q2a?
Also, my approach to Q1b was ok?
