[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 54812, member: 1160"] So I personally would tend to outline my opinion in an executive summary and then my analysis would be thematic. I know some people like SWOT and PESTLE for this type of thing but I used to just like selecting the themes which were pertinent (but I used to be guided by PESTLE so I knew I wasn’t missing anything so would keep this in my mind. themes can be: Finance/price Assets of the two businesses Outstanding litigation Antitrust concerns Market/social considerations (consumer appetite) Reputation I would then assess the two against each other, always concluding after each paragraph to show my thoughts. also try to use headings etc and format clearly :) I hope this helps, any follow ups please tag me :) [/QUOTE]
