Question 1
• Walmart in Germany
• Three different parts to the question.
• Different questions. Different theoretical perspectives?
Different sets of literature.
• Competing/alternative explanations?
• Link between the different sections. Especially, although
not exclusively, between 2 and 3.
Question 2
• Banks and the 2008 financial crisis
• Two core elements: banking systems and financial crisis. More
on the aspect of the banking systems of countries.
• The link between variables. Example. How leverage (x)
contributed to the crisis (y). Be explicit.
• Comparison between countries on different aspects is
insightful. Example: leverage versus sources of funding.
• Focus on micro factors. Bank strategy. And be quicker on
macro aspects such as low interest rates
