I have been taught to annotate and pick out application for the case study, i.e. by annotating question numbers and underlining key points. What does FMOP mean? I think its whatever you feel comfortable doing and what works for you, there is no right or wrong way I think.

Lmfao, if people private message me individually I will send it but I'm not helping out someone who calls strangers 'dirty skets' and I also am not posting it onto a public forum when I can get done for sending it on.

Hi, I have messaged you. Please can you send it to my inbox?

FMOP stands for finance, marketing, operations and people... We have been shown to draw a grid (split page into 4) and put quotes from the case into the four boxes but it takes ages to do

Look up tutor2u's AJIM conclusion as this is where you can build up evaluative marks - also at the end of each point link it back to the Q and maybe make an evaluative statement such as 'critically the change from hard to soft HR will reduce the firms ability to compete'

what a crazy technique - bonkers

highlight the key business objectives
highlight possible data manipulation / ratios / links between data and case study

then crack on with Q1

Apart from anything i want a calculation as it can be done in 5 minutes as opposed to a written 10 marker that'll take me 15 :frown:

i wish it was NPV/ARR/Payback,

However, they have been asked last year. Also, the easiest Critical Path Analysis ever was asked last year. June 2015 gave 28 easily obtained marks in my opinion. praying for a simple, easy paper! :frown:

Quick question, on the 18 and 34 marker essay questions, how much do I show my numerical working out? Seems like showing all your working out is more for the pure numerical questions.

i've been told you can/should put working out in the planning section, and then just use the answers within the paragraphs, but you don't need to put working out at all no
