Does anyone actually remember the break down of question 1.
I know part A was 24 marks for value chain and assessing it.

What about part B – addressing strengths and weakness or just one? It was just weaknesses right? Also how many marks was it?

Part C was advantages of budgeting, but how many marks was it?

The paper was reasonable.

Does anyone remember the marks for the compulsory question and what the questions were roughly.

For options I did questions 2 and 3.
Question 2 was financial analysis on 3 different acquired businesses of a corporate parent with BCG Matrix and Ashridge Model (18 marks). And also the 3 corporate parent approaches (7 marks).

Question 3 was harmons process strategy mix looking at three functions of the business (15 marks) and disavantages of outsourcing a department (10 marks)
Not sure what question 4 was- can’t even remember.
Any ideas what question 4 was??
