Hard to say .... Make sure you can produce responses for other business functions.

doing integrated case study paragraphs on each dot point - I just feel like I'm neglecting other aspects of the paper.

I've memorised the case study just about for everything in terms of operations, marketing, HR. I haven't touched finance case study tbh. I'll still learn it, the topic is just boring.

That's what I'm doing. You could learn the syllabus today and focus the rest on learning case studies/past papers.

Guys, is it OK to use multiple small case studies in the exam?

I did some of the Apple case study, but sometimes I find that other case studies fit the question and syllabus point better.

Yeah, as long as you're still able to discuss things in-depth you'll still be fine. You'd just be reinforcing your points more.

What structure do you guys use for the report and essay?

report:
1. exec summary
2. syllabus dot pot point for each recommendation/strategy + why its an issue for the business + how this strategy would overcome the problem
3. Repeat step 2 for all issues/strategies required
4. summary of recommendations

essay:
1. write lots of shit + give case studies

Anyone got a better setup? Wouldmakeloveto/10 for some good structures <3
