    Hey Guys

    i failed my OBU report and ive shed my tears and decided to give it anther go:( ..So im really in need of all of you input ,firstly in understanding the examiners feedback.

    The examiner stated that my analysis was of limted amount and far too descriptive ???? SOS on this one .Another thing was that the examiner stated that “There are little or no references to wider sources of information that might shed light on each of the chosen companies performance. It isn’t enough just to quote the annual reports in this respect and this covers the business models analysis as well. ” What worries me is i did put other references what should i do?

    Another comment is this one “As I have stated above you do have references to how ratios are calculated or the ratios significance to a company performance, but it is more important to references to underline and improve the analytical content of your report as well. ” help me to understand what is it …in a simplified way am i required to do

    Lastly it was about my presentation and this shocked me to the core .i thought i had presented my report well only to get a FAIL :anyone willing to teach me tips on formatting ,spacing and gaps 🙁 : ( .i really NEED YOUR HELP GUYS

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    From the first point from the marker, it appears you merely “described” the ratio movement and this not tie this movement up with external sources that could evidence the performance of this companies. In a nutshell, the marker require you to do more of business analysis outside the annual reports. ofcourse this will require you to go for external sources that evidence performance to enable you make a deeper evaluation on why these ratios have gone up or down.
