Mfw q1a).   ._.

Haha what was wrong with question 1a? I felt like it was easier than expected

[tbabes96]

Last question : "how does management styles play a role in termination"
Wtf!

[Natalie96]

It was great and I know that by how my hand is still in pain from all that freakin' writing

[Jason12]

it wasn't too bad and quite happy with it. Only annoyance was the definition of "informational". I just wrote communicating in the form of verbal information such as meetings and worded communication (emails, memos)

I found the exam really good. But this annoys me though

If an autocratic leader is in charge, and an employee left because of dissatisfaction, then word could get out and affect chances for future recruitment to fill that spot. A consultative leader would be best for that position as the employee would leave happily, possibly even with the manager helping them find further employment.

That's my guess anyway!

Oh good I wrote something a long those lines too! Except mine was a lot more rushed and a lot less detailed because I nearly ran out of time :/ oh well

Yup, my answer was similar to that as well.

Am I the only one who ran out of time and thought they didn't do as well they could have ? Oh well.

The question about Hertzberg and Locke's theory confused me. How exactly did you evaluate their theories?

[jaz95]

I think it was a fair exam! The first two questions of question 1 were a godsend... can't believe VCAA used such easy questions. The only questions that threw me was question 5 regarding kotter's theory and ethical and socially responsibility. As for the 10 mark question, a bit thrown together but I think it provided us with a lot of stimulus to achieve 10 marks!

[janson34]

so easy surprisingly,

few tricky questions

hopefully 60/65.

[lala1911]

Q5 was poop. Kotter+social/ethical is a nightmare. Also, for the termination phase part I just wrote about every management style and how they would handle termination :S

Impressed with the 10 marker even though it was a bit challenging, it wasn't a stupid question like I was expecting it to be.

Really? I didn't even bother reading the stimulus.

Aha. Also loved how they used the exact same questions from past exams (2012, I think?) for contributions to the economy and centralised v decentralised.
