Dear P3 tutor,
I want to know how to differ between models?
A few days back I applied ‘Ashridge Portfolio’ on a question which required a financial performance and future contribution by company portfolio (12/12) but surprisingly the answer was done with BCG where I think BCG is for products and SBU portfolio. Will I score some points if something like this happen in the exam?
Please let me know.May 19, 2014 at 1:56 pm #169489p.s. I’ve done financial performance analysis first then Ashridge model.
May 19, 2014 at 8:21 pm #169553If no particular model is specified then you can get marks for applying any model – except, of course, some models might lead nowhere if they do not fit the information in the question (for example trying BCG if market growth rates and market share are not provided).
Apply whatever model you think best and have confidence that you are right.

May 21, 2014 at 11:27 am #169856One more question, Sir.
How to answer a Swim-lane chart problem? It is quite difficult to find out what’s wrong is going on.May 22, 2014 at 5:31 am #170030You can only look at the process and think whether or not it’s logical and whether or not it could be simplified by changing flows, reducing the number of transfers between lanes or even if one lane could be removed.
May 22, 2014 at 6:13 am #170035Thank you!
I did not know that one lane can be removed too!May 27, 2014 at 12:00 pm #171147The Directional policy matrices- The General Electric Business Screen and The Shell Directional policy are those same?
May 27, 2014 at 5:12 pm #171197Yes.
