    It tells you how much you need to. Ive already extracted a few questions:
    - evaluate the benefits of using mergers for Nestle in a bid to penetrate the Chinese market or
    -evaluate the benefits of growing the mergers and takeovers for Nestle
    -analyse two reasons for Nestle's decision to enter the chinese market
    -asses the problems a MNC like Nestle could face when entering the Chinese market
    -Evaluate the benefits a MNC such as Nestle can bring to a country like China
    -Evaluate the merits of a localised strategy for Nestle

    I have a really strong feeling when i turn the exam i will see Nestle--Oh god i will get butterflies in my stomach if this is actually true. if it is it will be a very easy paper.

    and section A i think will be on india and protectionism

    it doesnt matter. All sources basicly have the same information about the merger. Its good enough if we memorize data for this topic and revise mergers and takeovers.

    all case studies are old if you look at the dates theyre about 1-2 years old. thats why i actually chose the Nestle one. im sure there have been many more but as i said earlier this ticks all the boxes
