October 29, 2014 at 8:01 am #206488Q1: Imdividualisation: an on-line sales web-site will remember what you have bought in the past and can make individual, spacialist offers to you. Independence: we don’t really care where websites and operations are located. Industry: the structure of the industry can be changed eg few shops selling Cds as overtaken by MP3 downloads. Intelligence: every click and page you look at is recorded and this provides great intelligence to companies about users’ habits.
Q2: Intro = v short just something like I set out below a report on the firm’s strengths and weaknesses. Conclusion: only needed if you are required to have a recommendation. Deal with models’ findings on a model by model basis usually.
Q3 Yes – much more IT. Covered in out notes.
Q4 Project review = how well did the project go, technically. Eg on budget, on time, project team worked well together. Post implementation review: if we had our time over again would we do the project? Eg are costs<benefits.
Q5 Poor finance is a weakness eg falling GP%, escalating costs, dangerous current ratio, very high gearing. If finance is poor the ocmpany might find it hard to pursue strategies (usually need finance) or might even be facing liquidation.
