2010 EXAM THOUGHTS

[mba]

BTW, how much do they get paid to mark exams?

Somewhere between $4.50 - 5 I'm pretty sure.

Still would love to see the paper if anyone has it. Otherwise I'll get it from school tomorrow.

Cheers, MBA.

 - Kotter means nothing whatsoever to your answer
 - 2 marks for driving restraining defs
 - General statement about what they are (can have some examples)
 - Relate to your chosen topic/LSO
 - End result of your LSO/statement as to why change worked (minimised restraining)
= 10 marks

Selection process
As long as you had a
 - Beginning (Selection Criteria/Screening)
 - Middle (interview/testing)

Yep. Great.
But for the functions question you could have discussed finance, marketing and research and development as well... given that they are on the study design (new to this year)

Yeh I forgot to ask her, although I'm not sure that if you discussed marketing for example, there are no specific strategies. That's why I just did HRM/Ops, becuase there are speicifc strategies,. although I'd say that if you talked about any of them you could make up "strategies"

[flash36]

Yeah, 'cause I did marketing and finance. The rest of that stuff luken said I was spot on I think!

Finance- cut costs for airfares
Marketing- advertise for cheaper airfares...
pretty simple

[flash36]

Yeah I said for finance, reallocation of finance for the Airline to allow more money for the marketing function in particular, and for marketing, a new ad campaign with celebrities etc etc.

Yep exactly right, I just wanted to stick to the "official" strategies to ensure I was on the right track

Those can lead to less profit (increase expenses, reduce revenues) which is an objective of the business so I probably wouldn't have written that

To manage with the Global Financial crisis... it makes perfect sense to reduce costs of airfares so consumers are able to afford...
I personally did operations and marketing... but if you did finance it would make lots of sense...
as the question was related to MONEY... finance/marketing seem like great functions to use
