@Trephena – I passed with B!! Couldn’t have done without your guidance. Thank you ever so much.
Passed with B !! Thank you Opentuition and Trephena for invaluable resources and guidance.
Thanks Trephena. It is a huge relief to know that Tesco is still relevant. I neither have the time nor patience to redo the entire paper from scratch.
Love your comment about the horsemeat scandal, as tempting as it may be I shall leave it out. 🙂Hi trephena – I have had to postpone my RAP submission to Nov. 2016 and most of my RAP is prepared for Tesco. Is it still advisable to focus on Tesco given that their CG scandals are over a year old and it may have been attempted by a number of students in the past (does that matter?)? What approach must I take? Should I focus on a company with recent CG issues? Thanks ever so much.
Essentially, in my paper I do not want to limit my focus on Tesco’s quality of CG but also look at how underdevelopment of UK CG code is also to blame for the corporations taking an easy way out in complying with the letter of the code rather than the spirit. But, my apprehension is whether by doing this I am steering away from the main topic and setting myself up for failure.
Thanks ever so much.@Trephena – Having read through this thread, I have made changes to my objectives to try and make them more meaningful and analytical. I need reassurance that my draft list below is not too far fetched and disconnected (esp. No. 3)
1. To assess the quality of corporate governance within Tesco plc
2. To evaluate the impact of Tesco’s corporate governance on its key stakeholders.
3. To what extent (or lack thereof) has the UK CG code developed to tackle the turbulent business and economic environment.
4. What role (if any) has UK CG code played in the corporate governance failure of Tesco plc.
5. To develop my business analytical skillsI just need to know whether I am headed in the right direction.
Many thanks
@Trephena – I stand corrected! Glad I checked this now before it was too late. Thanks very much.
@Trephena – Tesco’s annual report for y/e 28th Feb 2015 uses 2012 CG code instead of the most recent 2014 version. This is despite the code specifying that only annual reports prepared before Oct. 2014 must comply with the old version.
Question – For the part where I need to briefly mention whether the company is in compliance with the code, should I use 2012 as benchmark or 2014 code? If former, for consistency sake, should I use the same code for its competitors? And is it worth mentioning that Tesco should have used 2014 code?Many thanks
@Trephena – Thanks for your prompt response. I shall refer to your posts in this forum and use that as guidance to prepare outline. If you don’t mind, could you please review this for sanity check once complete. Many thanks
Hi Trephena
I have read your advice and guidance to fellow students on this forum and have decided to conduct my thesis on Tesco for Nov. Submission. You mentioned in your previous reply that there is a guide on how to prepare for T17. Please can you email this to me so I can start on the right foot.
Many thanks
