thanks! that's really helpful- so they won't exactly ask:"how did the organisation manage the change?".

Do you reckon it matters if we use organisations that are not specifically Australian (but still has offices in Australia)? i.e Nike

Take what I said with a grain of salt though - I'm purely speculating. However, how an organization implements change isn't often known outside the organization. In the case they do ask, 'how exactly did the organization implement change?' and you don't know, just make it up, being sure to include reference to low- and high-risk tactics, and change theories.

The study design states, 'involves an examination of the role and importance of large-scale organisations to
the Australian economy'. One might argue however that Nike is a multi-national corporation and has locations, whether it be branches/offices/factories, etc. in Australia. I'm trying to find as many Australian examples as I can, as the examiners are likely to be more familiar with those, as opposed to more obscure examples, such as Google acquiring DoubleClick.

No problems at all. I can keep it coming if you want :P

Be sure to define, explain, and provide an example. If possible, make the explanation and example relevant to the stimulus/case study (i.e. link the explanation/example to the material provided for the question).

I should elaborate - assessment reports in the past have indicated that not enough students included an example. Always read the question twice! :)

So, who knows what the difference betwee a process and product layout is? My definitions don't really differentiate them very well.

Hey everyone was just wondering do we need to know the different sectors of the economy?? as in definitions?? My teacher told me to know what they meant just in case it appears in a case study... we never covered it though...

Thanks ^_^

Process Layout- where work stations are grouped together according to their function.

Product Layout- where the products move along a line as stages of work are completed.

[taken from the a+ publishing book, found the definitions easy to remember]

Hope that helps =]

An example of a product layout is a car manufacturer's assembly line. An example of a process layout is a hospital. For example, the pathology department would have similar equipment than say the maternity department.
