For section A, do we just need to know abiut the 5 research bullet points for culture?

5 research for each bullet point.
Sometimes you can use the same research for more than 1 bullet point.

As much details as you can back up your points. Don't go tell stories. My research for each point I make is about 4-5 lines.

Anyone has anything useful on how Nokia communicates with its employees to bring changes about?

I would recommend to look at the 'burning platform' memo created by Stephen Elop, the new Nokia CEO.

You do realise you don't have to write that much about your research? You might just include the research for 3 points. Don't go crazy.

ditto. you shouldnt be story telling, all you have to do is give an example to explain your point, and then analyse it.

And also, you can use facts without figures, as long as they are relevant to the question at hand.

Just done my first company and want some feedback if possible.

Apple:

Strong organisational culture the employees buy into the values and beliefs of the company
Steve Job's went for the more entrepreneurial leadership style and a more democratic one too so the company could gain innovative ideas from its employees. CEO Tim cook has carried this on, showing culture right one to take. Success of Apple clearly shows that the culture of the business works and has allowed them to become one of the biggest businesses in the world.

Do I need more detail? Is this too vague?
