2010 EXAM THOUGHTS

[_avO]

20 MARKS ON THEORIES/MOTIVATION/HRM??
20 MARKS ON OPERATIONS
10 ON CHANGE WTF NO KOTTER GTFO
10 ON OTHER SHIT WTF IS THIS CRAP

this did not even reflect the new study design, nothing on kotter, nothing on ER,

EDIT: now that i've calmed down it was more like
4 on stakeholders
6 on management structures
5 marks on KPI's
15-20ish for operations management (6 marks on ESM, about 10 on strategies)
5 on the selection process.. er okay?
10 on change management (still no kotter )
15 on motivation theories/human resource management
0 on employee relations (centralised and decentralised.. wow the most unexpected thing ever)
5 on management styles

HAHAHA. That's almost as bad as our one last year: Define Stakeholder. I'd learnt over 150 definitions, and that was the first one I ever learnt. So bloody stupid. The business exam writers are losing their credibility that's for sure.

[swiftheels]

I said consultative and geographical hopefully its right!

[sajib_mostofa]

it was okay the only question i'm not sure with is the management style and structure..did every1 say consultative and geographical stucture?

hmm never heard of a consultative structure before. The only ones I've ever learned are vertical, horizontal, functional, divisional/geographical and matrix structure.

[xharax]

noo i meant consultative style and for the structure question i did product based and geographical structure~~~woot guess i wasnt wrong

[swiftheels]

Consultative style

[sajib_mostofa]

noo i meant consultative style and for the structure question i did product based and geographical structure~~~woot guess i wasnt wrong

ahhk. I personally said autocratic style cos they have to make a decison quickly and withdraw the products or else more children become poisoned.

[swiftheels]

Yeah I was torn between the two

I fully agree man. It was a grossly imbalanced exam. Nothing on Kotter, ER, management skills or roles etc
