When a question asks to choose a structure and list 2 features of it?
Characteristics/qualities.  For e.g. a functional structure is able to group employees together according to the tasks they will perform e.g. all the accounts in the finance department, using the functional structure can increase efficiency as grouping people who have the required skill/knowledge into the department that their responsible for can increase efficiency.  A negative feature of a functional structure is that employees such as accountants lack flexibility and cooperation due to its bureaucratic nature.

Explain how another company taking over can effect the organisations corporate culture?

The takeover of an organisation can affects a businesses corporate culture.  The previous senior management team such as the CEO may have different values compared to the one that is in charge now,  for e.g. their strategic management could increase net profits so shareholders can receive a larger dividends as this will satisfy them.  However when a company takes over another organisation values change, the new senior management team can have different values through undertaking different strategic plans, for e.g. in 4 years improve staff satisfaction and reduce staff turnover through implementing new machinery and increase pay, this indicates a contrast in the values between the previous and current senior management team, as result corporate culture can change.

Do you suggest working ahead? did you try this method?

Do you suggest working ahead? did you try this method?

Hey Photon,

I didn't work ahead of the class myself, until the last month or two before classes concluded. I felt keeping at the pace of the class was the way to go. Although, I should mention that I had a fantastic teacher who taught everything thoroughly which allowed us to finish the course about a month early. It is in your hands how much time for exam revision you would like to allow yourself. Again, it's not about the number of practise exams as much as it is about the depth to which you understand that content. I hope that helped!

Need some help...

The case study states that the organisation is expanding into another country (Singapore),
And the question asks to,

Identify TWO management skills that allow the organisation to keep/maintain its cultural background, justify.

What would the answer be? I'm very confused...
Thanks in advance!

They would need decision making skills to be appropriately identify problems and make the best decisions. Also would need communication skills to be able to talk to those who live in Singapore and also be able to conduct the operations. Could also do with analytical skills be able to solve complex problems, you could expand on these etc..
