Ok went through it. The image was a bit blurry, so i couldn't read some parts.
Here are a few things I wanted to point out-

example of organisation that aims to maintain jobs in Australia
Ripcurl. Although labour is less costly overseas, Ripcurl maintains a large majority of its manufacturing in Australia.

strategic management
Mention the timeframe: 3-5 years

Overall, answers displayed your knowlege really well, as you provided examples. You addressed each point the questions were asking. The privitisation example of the Comm. Bank was especially good.
Well done

Great work
 Be sure to provide adequate detail in all questions. Your privitisation question is an excellent example, however you could've expanded on the low key tactics for change.

1.a)i. Outsourcing not only allows the management but the entire organisation to focus upon its core activities. Whilst this may be relatively cheap in the short-term, on a one off basis, it is not always so and may end up costing the org more in the long run depending upon the nature of the task. So be careful there.

b) Rather than 'provides', I always make a point of the dependency an org has upon its suppliers, not that yours is any less correct, just my way of doing things.

2. c) Not only keep current customers, but attain new ones.

3. a)i. Might want to elaborate - governing behaviour, etc. Also, there can be several rules/guidelines in, say, an internet user policy for instance.

b) For the last one, rewarding supportive behaviour could be added in. My teacher took the oportunity to tick me off for not relating to the case study enough in this question - you might want to look at that too.

Just crits, sorry, I need to get back to study so I don't have time to give you a mark, but I'd say you just might've passed . Don't go getting too good, k? :wink: Noice.
