Hi Trephena – just seen your comments, thank you. I think my original RAP is not beyond repair, but i am concerned about using it again. Thank you for your comments about the inside info, this is most probably what the marker meant with the ethical considerations and will be another reference i can use.
I will think this over very carefully as i will have to submit in November if i want to carry on using my original RAP. If i start over with a new company then i can submit next year, so there is that to consider too.
Thank you, this has helped a lot.
Thank you Ahmad, for your reponse. I think it might be best if i start over again with a new company and take on board your suggestions above.
Hi
I hope you can help me decide how to continue with my RAP – i can submit once more only, so I really need to get this right.I have done my RAP on the company that i work for – I have chosen Topic 8 – and compared it to another company in this area. Both are small limited companies. I have also used Porter’s 5F and I realise now that i have not referenced the reasons for the ratio changes adequately and although i have applied the model to the company, i struggled to find suitable references. The marker’s comments included that i have not included the theory behind the use of Porter’s, have not included ethical considerations in undertaking this work and then the referencing of the business model and the ratios.
I am not sure if i should carry on with my existing RAP and try to correct it
or start over again, using a large company in the industry about whom there might be more information available and use SWOT and PESTLE instead of Porter’s as you have suggested in other threads? I have read somewhere (recently) that it is rarely a good idea to use the company that you work for as your subject in Topic 8.I have passed the SLS and the presentation.
Also, my mentor has now left our company so I will have to find another. How do I change my mentor with OBU?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
