Hmm since this is the exam thoughts thread... what type of questions do you think they'll ask?
I have a feeling that they might not ask for both a motivational theory or change theory, so far the trend seems to me one of them not both

[kingmar]

I think they'll ask everything.

Maybe not obscure stuff like 6 sigma or the 7S framework (which I don't know and don't intend to cram on the day).

Certainly simple definitions, employment cycle, change but I suppose more specifically APPLICATION.

For example, how a front-line manager would handle change, or what they would do in decision-making.

That would be the bummer. But you know it's gonna come up.

Don't worry! As long as you mention the words "efficiency" and "profitability" you should get at least a mark.

i.e. I don't know what HRM is, but here goes...

HRM is the management of the human resource function. Effective management will lead to happier employees, and higher productivity as a result.

Yeah I know it's actually the management of the employment relationship. But it does sound plausible, no?

I dont think you'd get a mark for that ... maybe the effective management part but not HRM is part..

It's like saying market share is a share in the market

haha that is so true- if in doubt, mention effeciency, profitability, effectiveness or productivity.
