OM, HRM, finance/administration, R and D, marketing/sales management

[_avO]

this may seem like a really stupid question but what's a management function? i just could not remember ever learning it

I believe it's Operations, Human resources, I.T., Finance, Marketing etc.

My Experience with the Exam:

2 Management Functions
WTF, when has that ever happened?
Alot of people did POLC, but pretty sure they are wrong then!

Compare/Contrast 2 Management Structures?
I did Geographical and Functional, but once again, WTF

Kotter
Did you go missing or something mate?
But the 10 Marker wasn't too bad overall, it could be answered quite well

Selection Process
Once again, WTF?
I included things like Selection Criteria, Screening etc, but didn't know there were more processes?

Ummmm that's about all
WTF FML etc

Anyone care to reassess their A+ cutoff?
I reckon it'll almost be lower than last year

[flametree]

goddamit, i did it on polc
i shoulda realised after it referring to strategies and function as in functional structure

I'd say definately lower than last yr. For the question the required two functions, if you talked about operations management and the specific strategy such as Quality control, would that be ok?

[flametree]

i had my selection process as
short-listing and screening
interviews
background checks
tests
advising all applicants of outcome

Oh shit I can't believe i forgot testing LOL.. gg 1 mark. This question is a SAC question not an exam one.. dammit

that's what I did, talked about quality management and talked a bit about quality control, same with human resource management (and training and development)

[flametree]

yeah i kinda had recruiting in my definition of selection

[studying_hard]

i know they didnt say Kotter but were we meant to include it? some did some didn't

[puvlil]

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.

Agreed.

[Harsha]

oh wells, weird exam
very very weird, did people finsih in time?
