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 :P
-
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.

True, i hope they just asked something i havent studied lol... i'll end up making crap up then ..

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 :P

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

:o in 45 MINUTES PEOPLES!, in 45 good long heartstopping kneestapping minutes!
-
WHATS UP PEOPLES?!!?!!!! THAT EXAM, ONLY 3 QUESTIONS, IT WAS MY DREAM COME TRUE PPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOPLES! I AM SO HAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPY! PROLLY LOST LIKE 3-5 MARKS. MAN THAT WAS THE S*T! WOO. WOO. WOO. :P
what did people write for the motivation question! and the driving forces. I wrote shareholders and employees for the conflicts views :)

what did people write for the motivation question! and the driving forces. I wrote shareholders and employees for the conflicts views :)
THAT EXAM WAS BLISS!!!
Motivation question- David McClelland's 3 types of motivation- I said that all her strategies would appeal to one or more of the motivations stated in his theory.
Driving forces- Management
Restraining forces- what did you put for that?? I put Unions- because they'd be almost removed from the bargaining process due the decentralisation.
Conflict- Employees would agree with the change, as it enhances flexibility etc. Unions would oppose it- limits their power.
-
Unions oppose the change?
I assumed the change was from AWAs to Enterprise Bargaining.
Unions support the change!
Anyhow, the exam was TOO SIMILAR to last years!!!
Otherwise, it went smoothly. Last question was worded weird, but otherwise, no major dramas.
-
Why would unions support it? Enterprise bargaining basically removes their right to negotiate because its done between management and employees- their role is basically removed, so they can't support the workers.
AWA's are a form of enterprise agreements- they are the same thing.
-
AHHH I HATED THAT EXAM... NO MENTION OF THE DECENTRALISED SYSTEM AND CENTRALISED SYSTEM!!!
Anyways overall it was too easy :P ... but i finished like 10mins before :)
Lucky though, i had time to fix the last qn lol... =]
How did everyone else go??
I think I might have gotten 58+/60 lol
-
Enterprise bargaining can be done with union representatives. It is a group form of agreement as opposed to individual AWAs.
In short, for unions, Enterprise Bargaining > AWAs.

omg... confident.
I thunk aigh mite git scayled doyne kvite a beet
-
It's collective agreements that unions can get involved in not AWAs =]
Enterprise bargaining consists of: AWAs,CAs
I think so, correct me if i'm wrong :P

Nah, it's just i gave it all i had lol... hope they dont think i cheated or something :P
-
Enterprise bargaining consists of: AWA's, Collective Agreements. There is no difference. And it didn't mention the workers were already on AWA's at all? I don't understand what you mean sorry.
Enterprise bargaining can be either AWA's or Collective Agreements.

Exactly that's why i didnt mention unions :P i said something about employee's attitudes(restraining) and management (driving)
-
I should have written "VCAA is socially irresponsible because their exams frequently cause mental anguish to the majority of 50,000 students who are the future of society. With such high-ranking government departments destroying the minds of our young, what are we teaching them to be? This unethical behaviour must be stopped, as human rights to happiness are being breached on average 30 days every year."
Too bad. I'll just have to get marks for my real response then.

I think I lost a couple of marks.
-
I never comment on exams/tests until I receive my results :P
I was however able to provide detailed answers for every question (I also utilized the entire 'extra space' part at the end of the paper), apart from the human resource strategies question - that stumped me (simply can't remember it) so I just made up some bullshit. :P
-
lol, same, i was like "uh-oh" so i just explained about Shortlisting and interviews
Hope its riight.
For Driving forces, i put competitors. And Restraining Forces the mistrust between management and employees because it would be hard to implement change, hence, it wouldn't be sucessful or effective without proper procedures etc etc.
I put Maslow. (self-esteem)
yeah.
-
Hah, yeah - I crapped on about being a socially responsible company would attract many applicants and that sufficient job analysis - with the development of appropriate job description/specification would attract the appropriate person to fill the job.
For driving forces I wrote down the manager - it stated in the case study that he wanted to implement enterprise margaining to improve productivity and the relationship between managers and employees.
-
Hey guys and girls would they accept 2 HR strategies as 2 different methods of recruitment? (internal and external) ?? I wasn't too sure
-
Anyone ?? Lol

yeah.
You do realise the question referred to recruiting? Recruiting is all those activities involved in forming a pool of applicants from which to select the most appropriate. What you've discussed is selection.
As for me, I thought it was a bitch :(, but then again, I'm always negative.
-
Does anyone know the exact question there?
Hmm. Come to think of it, I guess you could have written about background checks, interviews, etc. of those from the pool, but I always considered those to be lumped into the one HR strategy.
I wrote about diversity management and rewards management, both enhancing the performance and creating an EOC status, with diversity having the added benefit of say, cultural perspective creating a better experience for international guests. Those kinds of people could be considered to be 'best for the business' in that regard, which is the logic I took.
If the first was intended and not enough people addressed it or they have enough complaints, they may always take another look at the question and reconsider the possible answers if it seems ambiguous.
-
Think it was something about 2 HR strategies that could be used in recruiting staff... not sure =]
-
Aren't background checks and interviews selection strategies?
Edit: btw I'm pretty sure it asked for HR strategies which will allow them to recruit the best people.
-

Oh thats the qn lol ...
Well i guess the wording is what confused people ...
I guess to recruit and recruitment are slightly different...
-
Yeah they are selection strategies, but selection is part of the employment cycle which just so happens to be under HRM. It's open to interpretation I guess.
Lol that's what I was thinking the question was too - Odette freaked me out! Hopefully we're right... makes more sense for them to ask that imo.
-
I was surprised at the remarkable similarity between this paper and last year's. No "big" change management question (damn), similar questions...
Strange of VCAA.
Also, with the Enterprise bargaining question, I assumed that the workers were on AWAs to base my answer (I indicated so as well as it wasn't given in the case study).
-
I guess if you mentioned that unions could be a restraining force if the company introduced AWAs(explaining what AWAs are) it should be fine.
-
The exam overall was pretty easy. I am happy with how I went. Hoping for around 57+ ... We'll see in just over a month!! :P
-
how do we access our results?
-
On Monday 17th December... at 7 am... we can use http://results.vcaa.vic.edu.au ... and login using our VTAC number.
-
how do we access our results?
you can wait for the letter :P or go to the link that jamie suggested and for the scaled score go into vtac =]
-
how do we access our results?
As you're in Year 11, like myself, the 'VTAC PIN' is simply your date of birth. For me, for example: 6th October = 0610. You can register for SMS service (which is what I am doing, the Results site is likely to be slooowwww). Details are here: http://vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce_results_enter.html
-
:oops: forgot she's in year 11 lol
-
BSSS, SO I WAS WRONG?! but recruitment, i don't get it, it should be apart of selection. FUCK.
noo, i can't get it wrong. Oh well. Now i'm stfed :p
The 6 mark question was extremely weird. Extremely.
-
Recruitment IS part of selection lol. It's also one of the HR strategies (no 6: http://freestudynotes.com/VCEforum/viewtopic.php?t=272). I guess it only really depends on how you put it. Stop being a drama queen dude - a 42+ raw only needed an 80.8% score last year. You're fine![/url]
-
I did fairly well, yes the last question was very weird I kind of procrastinated on it because I had 20 minutes to spare lol it was just so oddly worded. Anyway i'm pretty sure I sussed it out and got it right, don't ask me what I wrote because I can't remember but I know it related.
I soo wanted a question to discuss an organisation you've learn on management of change. All there was was the elements and I did Australia Post. And also, I know I got the second defintion wrong "best practice' ahah oh well, all in all good exam
-
overall the exam was ok...no necessary inclusion of real life example OMG!
but there were 2 i was quite iffy with...lol what did people write for HR strategies to recruit the best applicants? i think i got that wrong. and also, negative and positive of TWO aspects of EB & SR? eh ?
btw i think to succeed in BM exam you can't under-bs or over-bs...you have to get it justtt right
-

I said a job description/job specification, and background checks of potential employees to check possible gaps in employment history and past offences? Hopefully its ok
-
LOOOOL. DRAMA QUEEN. lol i'm not a drama queen. i'm just passionate about losing marks, it irritates me alot :p
lol i'm sorry. :p woo ...

ohhh phew lol. yeah i said make a job analysis that would attract suitable applicants...and the 2nd one i said empower existing employees to allow for devlopment of skills for career advancement ?? dunno if thats right tho :S

Yeah its open to interpretation, as long as you aruge it right you're fine.
-
Yeah, if you justify your answer then you should be fine as long as it is a HR strategy of course ;)
-
I'm worried because BM is just so godamn easy that everyone would have done well, minus those who don't give a damn. No wonder it gets scaled down massively. Hopefully a 36-37 scaled, but I can just picture getting the results and it being 33 or something lol

hahah yeah...though I think the exam was relatively easy to the majority of us on here..simply cause we give a damn. My Bm class I am probably only 1 of 3 people out of a class of 30 that want to actually do well in the subject. Honestly the rest of my class get <50% everytime in the sacs and after the exam, they all came out asking me things like, "what the hell is a service firm" etc.
so yeah...let's hope the rest of the state is like that as well :shock:
-
Yeah, most people in my class didnt even attempt the exam, and some left questions out...
After the exam i was asked (by someone who i was competing with all year in SACs) what operations management was, i was like you're kidding right, like seriously people who don't even do bus.man know what operations management is...
What is this world coming to lol!!
-
What is the world coming to? Who cares! that makes me feel good. I'm surprised how many people doing their exams just don't give a damn, especially going to a private school, what have your parents been paying the money for? I guess thats what my motivation was, doing well for mum and dad, and myself of course

What do you mean to get 42 raw you only needed 80.8? How do you find that out?
-
VCAA publish their grade distributions at
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/statistics/2006/statssect3.html
This tells you what sort of scores you need for a certain grade.
It's not 42. It's "drop 11 marks in BM and get a ~40 raw".
This is very favourable. a 20% A+ range is MASSIVE when compared to other more competitive subjects.
Again, too many duds do BM, which is good for us generally (sorry to those that thought it was hard, don't be offended, I mean those that don't try at all).
I think the most easiest marks lie in the elements of an operations system. 4 marks for free! Inputs, Processes, Outputs. What's so hard?!

95% of people doing bus man would be duds. That definately was 4 marks for free! Bus man is embarrassingly easy...
Yeah I know about the grade distributions, I'm just interested as to how you can work out "40 raw" derives from losing 11 marks? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I don't understand how you worked that out.
-
You're not the only one Nick, I don't know either :oops:
-
You're not the only one Nick, I don't know either :oops:
This is like terribly nerdy... so here goes! (I'm turning into coblin)...
Odette, you do further. VCAA's Study Scores are normally distributed with a mean (average) of 30, and a standard deviation of 7.
If you use a calculator, the probability of getting above 40 is approximately 10%.
In most subjects, the chance of getting an A+ is also 10%.
So, we can similarly conclude that 10% of people get A+ and get 40.
Consequently, as the cut-off for a BM A+ is dropping 11 marks, hence dropping 11 marks almost assures you of a 40.
Unfortunately, VTAC rectifies that absurd situation though by immediately kicking you in the groin, saying "LOL!!!" a couple of times, kicking you in the groin again and then scaling you down three points for good measure.
This only affects about 51% of the BM population, however. The other 49% simply get scaled down three points.
-
Oh i get it lol... thanks mate :)
-
Unrelated, but still can't get over the fact that english drops a point if you get 35-37ish. WTF? what is the point? and BM going down 3 even if you get 40-42. VCAA is bullshit
-

You're not an attentive kid. I just said VTAC scale you down, not VCAA. There is no point in blaming VCAA, they simply correct your exams and provide a raw score, which VTAC then scale.
Sigh...
The point of scaling is to make everything equitable. Of course, English is compulsory so most do it. Essentially, at the lower study scores, there are duds that do English that scale the subject down. Say, they get 35 in English, but on average 33 raw in other subjects. English goes down two. This is simplified, but an example of the system.
BM is similar. Too many dud students do BM, get insane scores but in their other subjects screw up big time. BM scales down to reflect these duds. It's the way it is, so get a 50 to avoid scaling. Simple.
-
Man, I wish bus. man wasn't scaled so harshly. It means that I have to get 43 raw to get 40 scaled... urgh. :(
-
Aww curse you bus.man lol ... i think i've lost a few marks... so possibly 47 for me maybe lower :cry:
-
Sorry dude I don't really pay attention, both have 4 letters both start with V
-
Oh btw guys and girls... i probably wont be on fsn when results come out... so ill share the result the minute im free =] lol
Anyways qn: if i lost say 2 marks on the exam what study score am i looking at??
Oh and btw what did everyone say the benefits of conducting a SWOT analysis were??
Thanks guys and girls ^_^

50 if not 48+ knowing your SAC scores.
I wrote the benefits of a SWOT analysis as assisting in the process of planning, and detailed a few objectives that they achieved that had to be planned for that a SWOT analysis could have identified.

Awesome thanks ^_^
I just outlined how a SWOT analysis would assist in planning... is that right? lol
-
Haha I totally screwed the SWOT, totally wrong, how many marks was it?
-
I think it was like 3-4 marks not too sure =]
-
Damn thats a few, hopefully it may be two? I talked about a strength of the company (internal) and an opportunity (external) of the company which sounds totally wrong lol

I wrote for SWOT
- Allows the business to identify its position in the Internal/External Environments
- Allows educated plans to be brought up
- Then the business can select the right one.
And SACs mean jack. I heard of person from BoS who was av. in SACS and got 100% for the exam which yielded him a 50.

Yeah your marks are weighted more to your exam. I know a kid in English last year who was getting 'Competent' all year, the 3rd lowest from 'Outstanding' and got a 39 in English.
So for the SWOT i'll hopefully get half the marks fingers crossed

Yeah maybe ^_^ good luck lol

There was a motivational theory in there. If I remember rightly, there wasn't a change theory we had to specify as such anywhere in the paper.
