Hi Hammad,
Few questions to seek your advice:-
1. Is it sufficient to provide only the last FY for benchmark analysis as both organisations have diff FY.
2. A business model (PEST) along with the ratio analysis, is this sufficient for topic 8?
3. For the ratio analysis, is it unnecessary to provide definition and formula of the ratios as I’m using this information to support the figures and analysis within the main RAP.
Greatly appreciate your time. Thanks.
1. Is it sufficient to provide only the last FY for benchmark analysis as both organisations have diff FY.
Yes you can but you need to have 2 competitors then for only last year comparisons i.e. 1 Year Main Company + 1 Year 1 Competitor + 1 Year of 2nd Competitor = 3 Years Analysis2. A business model (PEST) along with the ratio analysis, is this sufficient for topic 8?
Yes “Minimum analysis of 4000 words.3. For the ratio analysis, is it unnecessary to provide definition and formula of the ratios as I’m using this information to support the figures and analysis within the main RAP.
It is necessary to provide definition in report but formulas in Appendices.Thank You.
Dear Ahmed
When doing PEST or SWOT, should we compare with comparator also ?@ Hammad Ahmed Qureshi
Are we supposed to send Appendices (Spreadsheet) in pdf format…i am asking because in pdf format the rows and columns do not appear and i am unable to understand how does the marker come to know if i prepared it in excel

Thank you Hammad..
One more thing.
Do I have to mention Bibliography along with the References?
If yes can you guide me about Bibliography.
Regards
bibliography contains all sources that you read, even you did not use them in your report. Showing you have read too much and researched too much
https://www.monash.edu.au/lls/OffCampus/Improve/11.5.htmlHi Dear Hammad,
I want to ask:
1) Cover pg and Table of Contents pg words are included in RR….? and if yes than in which part they would include..?
2) If i want to check my report through “Turninit Software” , may u help me in doing so..? i have heard that IBA students check their reports through it…..
3) For achieving “A’ grade which qualities should be there in my report…?
4) If i use less words in part 1 and 2 and more in part 3 let say 800-900 in part 1, 1800 in part 2 and 4800 in part 3…so would it create some negative impact on my report or it is more good way to analyse part 3 in detail…?
5) I want some expert opinion on my report for betterments, before i submit it to OBU…..how can i manage it…?
Thanxx for your help….
No, you don’t have to but relating to competitor will demonstrate wider knowledge and understanding. Hence, recommended.
Thank You.
@M.
No, you don’t obliged to. Recommended format of submission is Excel or Word.
Thank You.
Dear Hammad,
Thanks for your prompt response and the advices provided.
Need some further clarifications on:-
Qn: Is it sufficient to provide only the last FY for benchmark analysis as both organisations have diff FY.
Ans : Yes you can but you need to have 2 competitors then for only last year comparisons i.e. 1 Year Main Company + 1 Year 1 Competitor + 1 Year of 2nd Competitor = 3 Years AnalysisI have checked that the 2nd competitor is having diff FY as the main competitor as well.
Qn: Should I still proceed or should I stick with the 1st competitor but providing 3 yrs analysis against main competitor?
Qn: If I should go with 2 competitors approach, am I right to place the analysis as “A vs B” and “A vs C”? This counts as 3yrs analysis?Qn: Pertaining the appendices, I have copied and pasted the relevant details as picture. Is this acceptable?
Qn: Should we present graphs/tables to include figures of the prior yr, ie. 4 yrs of data will be shown as this will allow better understanding on the performance of the 1st yr analysed.
Sorry for the long list. Many thanks ahead.

Is there a minimum number of questions to be asked in questionnaire for topic 6?
@yusha abidi
What do you mean by “Do I have to mention Bibliography along with the References?”
Thank You.
1) Cover pg and Table of Contents pg words are included in RR….? and if yes than in which part they would include..?
No they are included in Research Report2) If i want to check my report through “Turninit Software” , may u help me in doing so..? i have heard that IBA students check their reports through it…..
Yes, but if you do not copy anything then no need to this.3) For achieving “A’ grade which qualities should be there in my report…?
Comply with BSc info pack, do a diverse analysis and project. Make a reasonable report not a unique or different report.4) If i use less words in part 1 and 2 and more in part 3 let say 800-900 in part 1, 1800 in part 2 and 4800 in part 3…so would it create some negative impact on my report or it is more good way to analyse part 3 in detail…?
No it will be fine.5) I want some expert opinion on my report for betterments, before i submit it to OBU…..how can i manage it…?

I mean to say that References and bibliography are two separate things. Is it mandatory to mention both of them in my research or I can only mention references?

In part 1 of the report the count should be 1000 words but wat about including the word count of the title page and contents page?including that will make it around 1300 words for that part
So where do i take the count of the title and contents page?
Secondly,how can i know the word count in ms word when i do in text citation?does every letter count towards a word or what?
Thanks sirSir Hammad
What is something which i have read and paraphrased /used own words in the RR,should i put in text citation for that information and bibliography?
Do i put in text and bibliography both for each link?Thanks and regards
@M.
When you will make your account at http://www.obusubmissions.co.uk, on uploading page there will available formats mentioned, you will then see whether you can upload or not in pdf. However, previously there was no option of submission in PDF.
Thank You.
I meant, your cover and index page will be at the top of research report not references and appendices.
You can send us and we will let you know that how much plagiarism your RAP is facing. Based upon:
– Referencing
– General copy pastingThank You.
Every word in research report now count towards 7,500 thresh hold. Your words can very by 200 or 250 from OBU Info Pack guidelines not more than that. So, allocate cover and other words in that part to which it relates and cover and index can be allocated equally to are parts.
Thank You.
Yes you need to refer each and everything that you can not write on your own through your knowledge. For which you are not an authentic person to speak without reference.
Thank You.
