Does anyone remember the marks for each question? I ran out of time on Q3 so just trying to figure out how many marks I may have missed out.
I struggled with my time management 🙁

Marks were 10-12 for each question, for NPV appraisal 8 marks
I struggled to interpret the questions to be honest, didn’t work out if any models were applicable. NPV critical assessment was ok, same for e-marketing, ethics, main risks, letter to employees. But didn’t feel confident when answering. Didn’t work out what that new approach has involved and how to link it to corporate governance. Run out of time to complete all questions. Just stated that separation of Chairman and CEO positions should be if they were seeking full listing
Now I think in question 3 -advise CEO – Balogun and Hope model could have been used. Was quite difficult to make links to the case due too lack of information
Went into the exam not confident at all, came out of it even less confident big oof

I answered something like ..
Ceo has power n control to make this change.
Need to communicate to employees so they dont resist the change.
Need to unfreeze the current structure and apply change and refreeze.
Need to change functional structure to matrix
Decide on what’s needed to preserve@S.tirmizi said:
I chose IOT approach as a viable option as for government, I discuss it uses but it would mean the co. would likely change to new strategy and not retaining old clients. As for 1 example.Were we needed to recommend one strategy?
I thought we just needed to evaluate?I believe this was a very unfair paper. Whoever does not have a good background in IT (like me) would find it extremely difficult. The ideas from an IT person point of view is not the same. Extremely unfair paper.
the first and second question was ok for me,
does anyone remember what they wrote for the ethics question about the threatening letter?
I wrote something about self -interest threat of not telling the client about a data breach, confidentiality, integrity and risk to the reputation

not recommend strategy… only evaluateI don’t know if I remember the requirement. I thought in report we have to give our conclusion whether they ask for it or not

That was probably the worst sbl exam in my opinion there not enough info in the exhibits, only a small amount of info for the two ideas. Completely missed of external market which is my fav, June here I come I don’t even want see results from this paper
i actually liked the size and content of each of the exhibits because it did not bombard me with soo much information and make me feel overwhelmed though it still didn’t stop me from panicking, mioebed question threw me off
I sat it in Manchester. Thought it was ok but not impressed with the late start. Lol.

I was glad there wasnt loads to read but at the same time it was limited and didnt give you enough to give context to what they did. Didnt understand what they really did or wanted to achieve. Hate tech scenarios.
If i remember correctly, they were I.T consultant and I thought IOT was the best approach, as it could help them with alot of problems they were facing with the clients.
@stxameh how late did you start?
