oh bugger.

[elaine]

crap.

everyone seems to be gushing about how well they did...wth was the last question about??? what kind of positive consequences are there for an OIL SPILLAGE!! it wasn't postives and negatives about social responsibility (that would've been easy), but about the SR issue Jerome Jones is facing!
RAH!!!!

this exam was so much harder than last years.
and HRM strategies...i said offering an attractive remuneration package and providing opportunities for career development. big fat zero?

well i'm glad everyone else found it so easy.
sorry about the rant.
 i think i'll go drown my sorrows with season 4 gilmore girls now.

No one of your strategies was right
Dw the last qn confused me too... i spent like 10mins alone on that qn ..  :roll:

[kingmar]

Your strategies are fine, as long as you justified them.

[elaine]

really- which one?

and what did you put for the last question?

[joshuamorgan]

For the last question I defined both ethics and social responsibility. I then said that the oil polluting waterways was an unethical activity and that, as an act of social responsibility, Jerome could pull his staff out-of-office for one day to assist in cleaning the water ways. I then provided pros and cons for social responsibility (such as, initial cost/training associated with implementing CSR, but the pay off in terms of increased staff pride and loyalty, and therefore increased productivity -> attainment of organizational objectives, and also that customers are likely to become aware of such practices and as such the organization will have a more positive reputation -> increased competitiveness).

[kingmar]

Both of them.

I put redundancy( although I didn't mention it) and oil spillage.

I stuffed the last question, just rambled on for one whole extra response  page.

The remuneration package =] , the other one is right too, depends on how you explained it.

Anyways...
Last qn:
Definition of ESR..
Issues were environmental-pollution and redundancies...
Positives- chance to fix their image, technology would help improve productivity...
Negatives- poor PR, facing prosecution, losing customers etc..
Also spoke about how implementing CSR into the company would help benefit the company..
Can't remember my exact answer lol but thats something along those lines

that's an awesome answer, but how about the "postive effects of the social responsibility issue, i.e the spillage"? people in my class were saying stuff like that it lead to improved technology and improved operations.

I must of misinterpreted the question then - I just put two positive and two negative effects for social responsibility and ethics. That is, four points in total, not eight. Which I'm hoping is correct given that it's worth 6 marks - 4 for each point, 1 for each definition.

[Odette]

So what you're saying is:
1 mark for definition
1 mark for identifying the issues
2 marks for positive aspects
2 marks for negative aspects

Yes?? No?? lol

yeah i'm confused too lol

[joshuamorgan]

1 mark for defining ethics.
1 mark for defining social responsibility.
1 mark for social responsibility: positive.
1 mark for social responsibility: negative.
1 mark for ethics: positive.
1 mark for ethics: negative.

It's probably wishful thinking.
