Thanks a lot for the valuable input.

I understand that I have used more models, and I realize that Porters 5 forces model is not of much use for this topic.

Ratios / trend analysis is important as it explains the impact on profitability,
Force filed analysis is also critical, as it identifies the driver for / against the change,

I have one question here. SWOT and PEST are two different business models, but they go along very well. Can I use them combined, as a single business model?
I understand that SWOT and PEST analysis is important as it expands the strengths/opportunities/other factors which lead to the drivers for change and also explain the threats/weaknesses/other factors which entails the drivers against the change.

Would love to hear further input and feedback on the matter.

Thanks

The Information pack Appendix 3, prescribes the Referencing guide. I personally feel that using the Wikipedia style, where references are mentioned in footer, brings more clarity to the document.
What do you suggest ? Should I go with the referencing guide as per Appendix 3, or Wikipedia style is better ?

Yes I have covered the requirements in Part 1 and Part 2. I have used 5 different models for analysis, conclusions and recommendations, namely, Ratios/Trend, SWOT, PEST, Force Filed analysis and Porter’s five forces model. Therefore, I require more word count for Part 3. (I am working on topic 7)

Thanks for your response.

I am using “Referencing” feature of MS Word and using “Insert Footnote” feature for referencing purposes. This makes referencing similar to the wikipedia style. Is this fine ?
