Hey,


I just had a quick question regarding the use of case studies in the last section. In my executive summary, I generally outline my case studies that I am going to use (obviously is Qantas most of the time). However, sometimes the Qantas case study just doesn't work for some sections when I initially thought it would in my plan. As I have only outlined Qantas in the introduction (e.g. The following report is to evaluate the usefulness of indicators of HRM indicators at Qantas, etc.) am I then constricted to only use the Qantas case study?

To be safe, should I always add an additional fake case study to the executive summary alongside Qantas to ensure that this eventuality does not occur?



Thoughts?

Business students usually leave space for the executive summary, and come back to it once they've finished

Usually it's like only two lines. I suppose it doesn't really need to be sophisticated so I can write it at the end when I am exhausted and it will also give me leeway with my case studies. Thanks!

Lol in my trials I used Qantas with made up stats, Apple with made up stats and 2 hypothetical case studies.

A HSC Marker has told me to not go overboard with hypothetical case studies; use only one of them to answer the question otherwise it kind of feels disjointed. I always use C&M Manufacturing ;) (just randomly made it up lol)

I don't always write the case studies I'm going to use in the Executive summary and my teachers a HSC marker and hasn't yelled at me about it?

Leave a line and come back to it I think..

How do you write your executive summaries? 'o_O


Gimme an example?

Executive Summary:

It will do this through looking at the global marketing strategies of global branding, standardisation, customisation, global pricing and competitive positioning. Marketing management is a business discipline which focuses on the practical application of marketing techniques and the management of a firm's marketing resources and activities.
