hi everyone im currently writing notes for the exam and i was wondering what the study design dot point "the context which contributes to the unique nature of large-scale organisations" means. Does anyone have any notes on this?
-
i didn't understand that one as well, i doubt there will be a specific question asking bout the unique nature of the LSO'S! il put my notes for you
-
yeah true, thanks heaps!
-
here are notes
-
This dot point may just get up on the exam this year:
-LSOs can mass produce goods and services and make a significant contribution to economic growth
-LSOs can produce goods and services more efficiently because of their large number of staff and ability to specialise
-LSOs have access to vast amounts of capital to operate and expand their business
-LSOs can produce goods and services more cheaply; costs are spread over a greater number of units
-LSOs may have more political influence on governments because of their size
-LSOs have complex management structures due to their size and complexity
-
Very true
-
... quite sure it refers to the industries (as well)
PRIMARY - agriculture, mining, fishing ect
SECONDARY - manufacturing and processing ect
TERTIARY - service sector
These are important so make sure you are aware of the differences between them!
EDIT: "from my updated notes thanks to waldo777's comment above"
Organisations:
- Can achieve things that individuals cannot alone (therefore comprise of 2 or more people)
- Can produce goods and services more efficiently due to their large number of staff and ability to specialise (done at a reduced cost)
- Provide an important source of employment
- Have complex management structures due to their size and complexity (formal or informal)
- Have a purpose
There are three main industries:
- Primary (mining, agriculture, fishing, forestry)
- Secondary (manufacturing, processing, construction)
- Tertiary
- Quaternary (service sector, IT, finance)
- Quinary (hospitality, health, domestic services – paid and unpaid)

I think this relates more to the study design point
- contributions, both positive and negative, of large-scale organisations to the economy

Dp (dot point in this context) no. 1 AOS1
I just put what an org is "
• a formal structured arrangement
• comprised of two or more people
• working to achieve a specific purpose
• or set goals."
and a picture of the typical man. functions structure
I'm not really sure what that dp means... but I'm adding what RossiJ said too - just on case :)
