De Monfort
Given the lack of quantitative elements in the last exam, and the recent introduction of more quantitative techniques into the syllabus, I would expect there to be a heavy numerical influence, maybe including:
* Ratio analysis.
* Limiting factor analysis.
* Standard costing and variance analysis.
* Financial evaluation of projects.
Other topics which may be due an airing:
* SWOT or PESTEL.
* Porter’s Diamond.
* Strategic options using one of Ansoff, Strategic Clock or TOWS (if SWOT appears).
* Outsourcing.
* Process change (using swimlane diagrams).
* Supply Chain Management.
* Marketing mix.
