The School of Business runs Accountancy, Business Analytics, Finance, Marketing and Supply Chain Management, plus a generalist Business degree. Each one wants a different kind of writing.
BUS490 Contemporary Business Strategy is the level-four strategy course, with case-based group work across several seminars and live and recorded presentations. BUS100 runs on continuous assessment alone.
MKT202 runs its continuous assessment across a tutor-marked assignment and group work on the same chosen company. The company you pick early shapes everything after it.
The Accountancy degree has no capstone project in its published curriculum. It is a long run of reporting, assurance and taxation courses.
Operations briefs run on calculations with a written interpretation attached. A correct quantity with no sentence explaining what it means scores badly.
Human Resource Management at SUSS does not sit under the School of Business. The degree and courses such as HRM203 Human Behaviour in Organisations belong to the S R Nathan School of Human Development.
Go to the HR page insteadThree things, almost always: a real organisation, a named framework you apply rather than introduce, and a command verb like apply, appraise, evaluate or propose.
One SUSS services marketing brief set its group assignment on a Singapore public sports body, named the chairman it was addressed to, and built questions around a real decision.
Servicescape, service blueprint, the service quality gaps, PESTEL, SWOT, the business model canvas. When the brief names one, it is a scaffold, not the answer.
One tutor-marked assignment sets a strict one page at twelve point, single spaced, and warns nothing over the limit will be marked. Another caps the deck at sixteen slides and the talk at fifteen minutes.
| Course | How the marks are split |
|---|---|
| MKT202 Marketing Management | Tutor-marked assignment 8%, group assignment 30%, class participation 12%, written exam 50% |
| ANL203 Analytics for Decision-Making | Participation 10%, assignment 20%, group assignment 20%, end-of-course assessment 50% |
| FIN203 Essentials of Financial Management | Class test 10%, group assignment 20%, participation 10%, written exam 60% |
| BUS107 Quantitative Methods | Assignment 18% and group assignment 20%, the assignment graded 80% content and 20% presentation |
| BUS100 Business Skills and Management | Continuous assessment only, with no exam |
A named framework gives you the structure of your answer, not the answer. Description sits in the lower half of a content band.
A brief that says apply the gap model and appraise how each gap can be addressed has told you where the marks are.
Four dimensions, applied to a place you were asked to visit and observe for yourself.
Most often filled in as tables and then left to speak for themselves.
Published academic-skills guidance draws the line: descriptive writing states what happened, while critical writing identifies its significance and relevance. Ask whether a reader who knew the framework would learn anything from your sentence.
Through the SUSS library, not a search engine. The School of Business guide names the databases below, with the access conditions attached.
S&P Capital IQ Pro
Company financials, screening and industry data. The strongest source for a finance or strategy answer.
Full-time School of Business students onlyPassport, from Euromonitor
Market sizes, consumer trends and country reports, for a defensible market-share or category-growth number.
Library loginProQuest One Business
Business journals, ebooks and newspaper archives including the Wall Street Journal, and your route to older Singapore press.
Library loginBusiness Source Complete
The SUSS guide calls it the essential tool for business students: peer-reviewed articles.
Library loginStatista
Fast statistics across tens of thousands of topics. Cite the underlying source where Statista names one.
Library loginThe Business Times and The Straits Times
The obvious Singapore sources, with a catch that costs students their best evidence.
Two-week archive onlySingapore's two main business papers come through the library with a two-week archive window each. Save the article while it is in window, or use ProQuest or the news-aggregation database for anything older.
The same SUSS guide points to Enterprise Singapore, ACRA, the Economic Development Board, Workforce Singapore and IPOS. A regulator's own page beats a secondary summary.
A recommendation names a mechanism, a measure and a time, while a wish names an outcome. Report-writing guidance applies the specific, measurable, achievable, result-oriented and time-bound test.
“The company should improve its booking experience.”
Add the mechanismWhat, exactly, changes?
“The company should restore a native booking app, because the service blueprint puts two fail points at login and payment confirmation.”
“Increase sales.”
Add the measureHow will anyone know?
“Raise advertising spend by ten per cent in the two underperforming segments, with a target of fifteen per cent revenue growth in those segments.”
“Train staff better.”
Add the timeBy when, and in what order?
“New service staff should complete the two-day induction before taking customers unsupervised, from the next intake onward.”
“Replace the manager responsible.”
Address the causeSymptom or system?
“The escalation rule that let the complaint sit for nine days should be rewritten with a named owner and a 48-hour limit, since the same delay appears across three teams.”
The right-hand column is barely longer. Each sentence simply contains something a reader could disagree with.
Because the vocabulary is available without the thinking. Richard Rumelt's four hallmarks of bad strategy name the problem.
Porter separates strategy from operations: doing the same things better is operational effectiveness, not strategy. Strategy requires a trade-off competitors could copy but choose not to.
So ask what your recommendation gives up. A strategy that costs nothing and excludes nothing is a list of improvements.
SUSS's own strategy course frames its challenges as changing government-business relations, digital technology and the need for social change.
SUSS learning outcomes ask you to interpret software outputs and communicate findings, not only to compute. So the usual failure is an output saying one thing and the sentence underneath saying another.
A regression coefficient is a rate, not a number: dollars of sales per dollar of advertising. A shadow price needs its binding constraint named.
A rejected null hypothesis says a difference is unlikely under an assumption, not that your explanation is correct.
The SUSS statistics exam tests whether you can tell what different visualisations reveal: histograms show distribution, time series show change over time.
One analytics course asks students to examine machine-generated output for accuracy, relevance and usefulness, and another to report results to a business audience. Judge the output rather than paste it, and if your module code is an ANL one our page on reporting an analytics model instead of pasting output goes further into the same problem.
Several SUSS business courses require Singapore context by design. One business law course asks students to apply Singapore case law and legislation to new situations.
The Ministry of Manpower says all employees under a contract of service are covered, full-time, part-time, temporary or contract, local or foreign. Seafarers, domestic workers, statutory board employees and civil servants are not.
Part 4 covers rest days, hours of work and conditions of service. It is narrower: workmen earning monthly basic salary up to four thousand five hundred dollars, and non-workmen up to two thousand six hundred.
Basic salary excludes overtime, bonuses, the annual wage supplement, incentives, reimbursements and allowances. Check the figures on the regulator's own page, because thresholds change.
Quote the threshold, name the instrument, and date the figure. A marker can verify all three in a minute.
Not on the analysis. On the rules printed in the brief: a paraphrasing penalty of up to twenty-five marks, ten marks for submitting group work alone, and nothing marked beyond the page limit.
25
A penalty of up to twenty-five marks in one analytics group brief. Paraphrasing badly is a distinct failure from citing badly.
20%
One quantitative methods brief grades eighty per cent content and twenty per cent presentation: structure, citations, terminology, formatting, grammar and originality.
12%
Class participation is separately weighted at ten to twelve per cent in several business courses.
SUSS requires you to pass both the continuous assessment component and the examinable component, and the final grade is a weighted average. Coursework marks cannot save a failed exam.
How the two components combineBusiness work stalls in four places: choosing the company, applying the framework, finding evidence you can cite, and turning analysis into recommendations.
We read the brief, work out what the command verb asks, and build the outline the framework implies.
A full model answer on your brief and rubric: framework applied, real company evidence cited, recommendations with a mechanism and a measure.
Marked band by band on your own criteria, with descriptive paragraphs and unsupported claims flagged.
Language, structure, formatting and citations, trimmed to the word or page limit.
Your business brief is assigned on subject fit, with availability checked last. See all experts.

"This one deserves five stars. They helped me build my startup pitch assignment from scratch. Felt like I had a co-founder working with me. Efficient, friendly, smart."
"Final year stress = insane. Couldn't focus, didn't know how to start my strategy report. These guys helped structure my ideas so well. Like having a mentor who actually cares."
"I don't usually write reviews but this one deserves it. Really solid help. They explained everything from GDP to fiscal tools in easy terms. Scored higher than I expected!"
"OMG I got an A! Their suggestions for my digital campaign project were next level. Felt like I was working with a creative team. Highly recommend them."
You pay for the part you hand over. Planning costs less than writing, and reviewing a draft costs less than rebuilding one.

The School of Business runs Accountancy, Business Analytics, Finance, Marketing and Supply Chain Management, plus a generalist Business degree. Its core: BUS100, BUS105, BUS201, BUS490, ACC202, ECO202, FIN203 and MKT202. HRM203 and the HRM degree sit under the S R Nathan School of Human Development.
Yes. SUSS requires you to pass both the continuous assessment component and the examinable component, and the final grade is a weighted average of the two.
It varies by course. Marketing Management runs 8% TMA, 30% group assignment, 12% class participation and a 50% exam. Analytics for Decision-Making runs 10, 20, 20 and 50. Essentials of Financial Management runs 10, 20, 10 and 60. Business Skills and Management has no exam.
A recurring split is eighty per cent content and twenty per cent presentation. One quantitative methods brief lists presentation as logical structure, citations, terminology, formatting, grammatical accuracy and originality.
On some briefs nothing beyond the limit is marked. One marketing tutor-marked assignment sets a strict one page at twelve point, single spaced, with 2.54 centimetre margins. Another caps the deck at sixteen slides and the talk at fifteen minutes.
One SUSS analytics group brief sets a penalty of up to twenty-five marks, separate from citation errors. It also deducts ten marks from a member who submits individually, and asks each member to answer the questions alone first.
Briefs permit it with attribution: a table naming the tool, the approach including the prompts used, the full output, and which part you adapted. Undeclared use is the breach, and the University may use viva voce assessments to verify authorship.
Through the SUSS library. The School of Business guide names S&P Capital IQ Pro (full-time School of Business students only), Passport from Euromonitor, ProQuest One Business, Business Source Complete and Statista, plus Enterprise Singapore, ACRA, the Economic Development Board, Workforce Singapore and IPOS.
The Business Times and The Straits Times come through the SUSS library with a two-week archive window each. Anything older needs a news-aggregation or journal database such as ProQuest One Business.
Treat the framework as the structure of your answer, not its content. The marks sit in which element binds this organisation, the evidence that it does, and what should change.
A recommendation names a mechanism, a measure and a time, while a goal names an outcome. Raise advertising spend by ten per cent in two named segments, targeting fifteen per cent growth there, is a recommendation.
Richard Rumelt's four hallmarks of bad strategy name it: fluff, failure to define the challenge, mistaking goals for strategy, and objectives that do not address the critical issue.
BUS490 Contemporary Business Strategy, the level-four strategy course. One brief asks for an executive summary, case background, external and internal analysis, issues and opportunities, and recommended strategies with evaluation and implementation.
Yes, and the work is usually interpretation rather than calculation. SUSS outcomes ask you to interpret software outputs and communicate findings to a business audience, so we check that the workings and the wording agree.
It depends on the module, the length, how much already exists and how soon you need it. You get a fixed quote in writing before you pay anything, with no extras later.
