Sir, I hate these general type of questions where I dont need to apply any model nor any concept because sometimes I go blank regarding what to do. Especially in Case study questions because there is always so much to read
Can you advice me on how to tackle such questions please?
Well, you have to read the question carefully if you are going to be able to answer it even if it does contain a lot of information. Always go to the requirements first to be forewarned about what to look out for.
Usually you will be expected to use a suitable model or models. The models will depend on the information given and you have to try to see which models would fit. Look for clues in the words used in the question. SWOT can often be used as a last resort when assessing strategic position.
In other cases, if no model comes to mind, start writign anyhow as best you can and your use of words might spark an idea.
Try to practise as many questions as possible.
Thank you for the advice sir
I also have this type of anxiety while reading and understanding the case study because in the back of my mind, I just keep thinking to hurry up and finish reading up the case study and start writing as quickly as possible in order to not waste time
Why is it so lengthy :'( !!???? How can I dissolve so much information under time pressure I just don’t understand!
Don’t write before finishing reading and understanding. Everyone’s in the same position.
Try annotating the question as you go through eg an arrow to part of the question that might mention PESTEL or 5 Forces information.
