Hi,
I have failed for period 27 on topic 20. Sadly, I didn’t get much info about the topic, as it is rare one. I failed the evaluation and analysis part. The marker says I have to compare my company’s policies with any benchmark. Can anyone tell me, which benchmarks can be used? And how do I evaluate my company’s policies affecting stakeholder? It will be nice if someone can share any sample project.
ThanksMarch 26, 2014 at 1:52 pm #163188Hey Rabis,
Sorry to hear you failed! 🙁 I was thinking about doing topic 20. I think benchmarking in this context just means to make a comparison with another company or the industry its part of. So for example take your companies social responsibility policy and compare it to another similar company (a competitor or industry best practice).
With stakeholders, you need to do a stakeholder analysis:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stakeholder_analysis
Once you know who your stakeholders are (i.e. after you have conducted your analysis), you can then assess any particular policy against those different parties and analyse its impact.
OpenTuition has a sample project: https://opentuition.com/wp-content/uploads/group-documents/29/1351809215-RAP20Nestle.pdf
Good luck!
Also, could you share your failure notes here:

ps:just passed my topic 20 rap:)March 26, 2014 at 6:52 pm #163236Thanks everyone for reply. Marker’s comments are below:
It is not useful to include large lists of activities extracted from your company’s documents. The evaluation and analysis section lacking evaluation and analysis skills. However, lack of critical commentary is also found in your RR. You need to provide something to benchmark against to assess performance to avoid placing so much reliance on company’s own statement.
You are close to pass grade with this work and if you improve the above area, you can get a pass grade.And I am going crazy because I don’t know how should I start. There is minimum information about my company’s (Engro Corp) CSR activities from sources other than company’s own documents.
I am planning to make people fill questionnaires that I can mention in my RR as other sources.
If someone has useful tips or guidance that how can I improve this part of my RR then sharing will be appreciated. BTW I am passed in other parts of RR, just failed in information gathering and the evaluation, analysis and conclusion part. So I guess I will have to improve only those parts.April 11, 2014 at 6:58 pm #165072AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0
