Business Studies HSC Exam 2017

[jacobiscrazy]

Wising i spent more time studying Finance but overall it wasn't too bad of an exam. A few curve balls but like meh.

Hey. so in my business report i crossed out like 5 lines but then i realised that what i was saying was correct and drew a little note saying "read this" but only drew a line to the first sentence i crossed out, i heard markers don't read things that are crossed out and im getting scared that they might ignore it, does anyone know about stuff like this ?

Hey guys, for the essay question where we had to use case studies, I did the second one, but instead of 'roles of operations management', I talked about 'operations strategies'
I discussed performance objectives, supply chain management, outsourcing, technology, quality, and global strategies, and linked them to being cost efficient and having new ideas to differentiate.
Do you think I would get more than a 10/20? :/

I wrote about those too, they didn't really specify role or strategies so I wouldn't think so but idk for sure

Something about a large manufacturer of pasta buying flour in which type of market. I wasn't sure if "in" meant as a market participant or whether it was referring to the sellers. I chose the former.

Oh  i remember... think i did resource
Ohwell congrats everyone on finishing!! AND those that have finished ALL of their exams!!

tbh, i thought that the essay q on operations was quite narrow so lets hope that you won't get marked down heaps if you branched out a lot (coz i did)

I think if you noted for them to read it, and it is still readable, then the marker would.(could be wrong)

It didn't say role did it? If it did you should be fine, role is too narrow for an extended response.

i spoke about globalisation facilitating the access to globally sourced skills, materials, cheaper labour, economies of scale, mass marketing through advanced telecommunication that was a result of globalisation and some other irrelevant details and somehow pretended it linked to operations management....  i dont even think i answered the question... hopefully they are lenient

I think it mentioned 'operations management'

How do you guys think this exam would scale?

[britt.jayne]

imo.... it was hard... but... on the positive the extended response and business report were ok to understand... it 's not like they put in any words that didn't make sense or were total floccinaucinihilipilification!!!!   
congrats to everyone that finished their HSC todayyyyy!!!!... i still have 2 more!!

Was the multiple choice section hard? I thought it was pretty decent to me though. I instead found that the short answer section was the weirdest section and I didn’t like it at all.

Yeah it was like "Analyse the impact of globalisation on operations management" IIRC. This encompasses strategies so you (and I) are fine I think.
