    Hi,
    I understand that SBL requires a lot of critical thinking skills as opposed to earlier exams which had more technical knowledge to be tested. However, what are the key “must have” elements that need to be memorised? I have jotted the following items which I think add a foundation to build answers from. Do you agree with my list or is there anything else that should be added/removed?

    POPIT
    Porter 5 forces model
    Porter Diamond model
    Balogun and Hope Hailey
    PEST
    SWOT
    Tucker decision model
    Balridge model

    Thanks in advance.
    Colin

    I would add:

    Ansoff’s matrix
    SFA strategy evaluation (suitability, feasibility and acceptability)
    7Ps of marketing
    Risk: probability/severity, TARA, enterprise risk management

    Tucker’s 5 question approach is not in the syllabus

    It’s ‘Baldrige’ not ‘Balridge’.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’m just trying to create a “core” of knowledge in my head to build my answers around.

    Sure.

    Remember DO NOT EXPLAIN MODELS IN THE EXAM. Use them if they are useful.
