    Hi there Sir
    I was thinking that in a question where a company with a succesfull past history is now facing competition for an overseas cheaper supplier
    could it be a possibility that without suggesting that company to focus on a small niche in the market instead it could buy into that overseas supplier through selling manufacturing facility or use of Retained earnings?

    The old company will be feeling under threat because the new global competitor will be winning market share….and the new company will realise that. The old company will probably be in a weak negotiating position.

    I am not familiar with the Kaplan text. It worries me that you say it’s very large. There is a danger with large texts that you spend too long reading them and not enough time on question practice.

    SBL is not primarily a knowledge exam, it is an application exam where you have to solve a company’s problems. Question practice is key.

    I suggest you try our notes and lectures first, only referring to the Kaplan text if you need more information.

    Listing pros and cons of software does not seem to be a syllabus requirement.
