CIMA Strategic Case Study
Ethics pack
Ethics is the most commonly examined topic in all three of the case study exams.
In fact, it was directly tested in at least 35% of case study exam variants between 2021 and 2023!
And yet, in the exam, it’s often the topic for which many people write the worst answers.
Why?
It’s not a black and white, theory-based topic. It’s about rights and wrongs, values and feelings, and people often feel uncomfortable directly dealing with those issues and so miss the point in their solutions.
When you know how to answer ethics questions, though, they are straightforward. But knowing exactly what to do and practising a wide range of questions on different ethical questions is key.
Our ‘ethics pack’ has been designed to support you to do just this, perhaps giving you the crucial marks that will get you through the exam.
Included in it, you will find:
+ Our dedicated ethics video featuring Astranti CEO, Nick Best
+ Our 96-page ethics study text covering all the essential theory
+ 20 ethics-based questions to test your understanding within different scenarios
