Please help ????

I really want to base me project on a UK company as I find I am getting confused if the company is global because they are effected by lots of different factors depending on the countries they are in and I think i will find it difficult to do a SWOT and PEST analyses. Also I think I would need to understand the impact of each country on the business. ????

I am going round in circles and feel very stressed. I need to make a decision so I can get started. But it’s a very important decision to make as it will impact everything I do in the project.

I was thinking Aldi would be a good company as it’s been in the news a lot recently and maybe bench mark against Waitrose as this is who is being used in the news. Aldi’s approach is low prices and simple layouts, Waitrose is at the expensive so I am not sure they are comparable. Maybe Tescos but I don’t think their financail statements are correct.

The financail statements are not on Aldi website and I think only group accounts are on companies house.

If anyone can help me decide I would be eternally greatful, please

Hi Trephena

I am having really big problems choosing a company to base topic 8 on. I decided on Pak Suzuki and Honda as a comparison because the financial statements are on their websites. The problem I am having is finding sources of information outside of the information one their websites. For this reason I have decided that it maybe best to chose a different company. Please can you guide me on reliable places to find out business information like your example of Laura Ashley? I am hoping this may guide me in choosing the right company.
So far I am thinking possible one of the following: lloyds, hsbc, aldi, marks and Spencer’s, next, John Lewis, Ryan air, Apple. This is based on looking at the business section of the telegraph.
Many thanks
Jenny

I have the same question. I work as a Finance Manager in a school and Children centre. I was going to use to Automobile companies in Pakistan to base my project on but it makes more sense to base it on an envirmoment I am currently working in. Or would one of the other topics be more appropriate for a not for profit organisation?

Hi Learning Luminarium

It’s really nice to have a recommended mentor from Open Tuition. I was a bit concerned about the attention to detail on your website, it might be in your interest to get it proof read as they are a few mistakes. This put me off a bit, given what service it is you offer. But it’s not put me off fully as you are recommended by open tuition. I have started my project and I have chosen project 8. I think I have read nearly every thing there is to read about the Rap and SLS. Please can you contact me as I am unsure what mentor package would be best suited to me.
Many thanks
Jenny

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I have put off completing my RAP for two years because I can’t decide on a mentor. It’s really nice to finally have a recommendation from a website I trust.

I would also like to know the same as this person has asked

[jenny77]

Thank you for your reply

I live in north Norfolk and the network is terrible there is hardly any 3G and reception is even worst for some reason with the iPhone. The best provider is Vodafone but even being a Vodafone customer it is impossible to maintain the Internet connection.
Do you have any other suggestions?

[jenny77]

Thank you for your reply. Yes it is my first time at them. That the exact type of information I needed.
Many thanks
Jenny
