[QUOTE="Yminh, post: 2748, member: 687"] wow the commercial awareness question is really a headscratcher! Personally, I would pick a prominent deal that has been receiving a lot of attention and news coverage. this is for research sake as the more that has been discussed, the easier it is to to find out a lot of relevant info. and form my own opinions. I will then put myself in the shoes of the party who is in decision-making position to answer this question. For instance, if I was to pick the recent Comcast/ Fox/Disney bid for Sky, I would put myself in the shoes of Sky's shareholder to present opinions on whose bid I would prefer or how to go about the process. I guess you can also put yourself in the shoes of one of the bidders such as Comcast or Disney and present a side on how you may want to go about winning the bid, although I think this is a trickier position to take (this deal has been closed lask week tho, I just want to use it to give example) The question asks for commercial deal so i think you cannot talk about just any commercial event, i.e. US-China trade war, as a general topic and offer your own opinion on the subject. If I was you, I'd pick a single deal between companies to present a side, rather than a macro economic event in order to ensure I correctly answer the question. I'm not sure how to approach the second question... you may want to wait for more responses from other members. Sorry! hope this somehow helps. [/QUOTE]
