VCE Business Management Question Thread!

[Reckoner]

lol, smh.  Dude its not a team or some shit, don't need to say respectively.  Smh, these guys stealing cliches from athlete quotes

By respectively, I believe Skyline means on the first SAC they got 95, 96 on the second and 100 on the third.

What sport cliche is this from? Genuinely curious.

Bit harsh "Only Cheating Yourself" i was in a bit of a rush, and didnt want to say sac 1:95... and felt that 95/96/100 didnt sound right.

Magnificant, why did you undervote me?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I have been busy lately. And btw, i was actually going to upvote you and i think i may have clicked undervote instead. Sorry about that  . Keep up the great work !!!

This thread is completely going off-topic. If you guys want to discuss precise scores I have made a 'General discussion thread for BM'. I suggest that you take your conversation there.

How would you guys answer this question ?

"Identify and discuss one ethical issue Village Cinemas could consider in the management of their operations. (2 marks)

Personally, i would talk about the massive amounts of energy consumed which can increase their environmental impact and their carbon footprint and also how they could be more eco-friendly and stuff.

Your on the right track Jono, ethics is essentially within the internal environment, whereas social responsibility is the wider picture - how they are affecting us.

Ethics is a set of moral principles that an organisation needs to establish and follow. An ethical issue that may arise in the management of their operations is ensuring that technology does not overtake work within the cinemas. (those people who play the movies at the back of the cinema - soon technology will be doing this, resulting in redundancies). Technology can offer efficiency savings, improve quality due to being resistant to human errors, however they can take control of work processes, such as playing the movies, making the popcorn etc.. - they can result in job losses.

- On my phone here, but hopefully you get the jist of it, only worth 2 marks - is this a question from your textbook?

[Zlatan]

Is there a case where you don't a 50 SS even if you got 100% on GA1, GA2 and the exam (GA3) I think ??

It's because my teacher told us that it really depends upon the performance of the state.

How did you know about the person who won premiers award? was he the only one? what sort of marks the did the other ones get

[El-Baba]

Hey guys,

I'm not sure if this question has been mentioned before, but here goes.

What on earth do the task descriptors (e.g. explain, evaluate, analyse, describe, discuss) really want you to do?

I know exactly what define means, but task descriptors vary in meaning from subject to subject and, as such, I find it extremely confusing/irritating, you name it. Can someone please end the ambiguity once an for all?

For instance, does 'explain' require you to define a term, outline its characteristics, and add an example?

For evaluate or analyse is it a must to outline the strengths and weaknesses of what ever the question is referring to?

It will be greatly appreciated if someone can provide a specific and detailed answer.
