2010 EXAM THOUGHTS

[jackson1234]

Yep my teacher went to the assessors meeting, she said that consultative was accepted if there was an explanation where management should seek feedback from employees regarding the issue of faulty goods. isnt that relieving?  but anything other than auto / per / consultative will be unacceptable.

AFAIK they always accept 3 styles as long as the student can relate them back...

i wish they weren't so accepting, autocratic was the obvious one that everyone should have done since the issue was urgent and a mistake had already been made thus clear communication was needed to fix the problem...oh well all you people who chose consultative caught a lucky break this time

[luken93]

Yes but persuasive was also appropriate, customers had to be TOLD where to bring the faulty items and WHY they were being recalled to protect their children from harm
Beg to differ?

[careyboy]

yea i sort of agree persuasive could be right also but i would be dissapointed to see them give full marks for consultative seeing as that was the worst option

*Worst out of the 3, there were 2 others that were unacceptable

[careyboy]

yea thats what i was implying thus shouldnt be full marks compared to the other 2

not saying I agree with it either, just that it's not as though VCAA are accepting anything...

Oh well as long as our answers are right thats all that matters

I don't see how consultative could be considered correct

Autocratic/persuasive go together so both are ok...

But I dont think a manager who has to make urgent changes to avoid complete catastrophe has the time to consult with the workforce...

Whatever, very interesting... if they accept consultative why wouldn't they accept participative...

agreed 100% vcaa should not accept consultative end of this disscussion.

could someone help me out with this....

for the last question, i wrote:
 -definition for org change
-General statement how change is affected by restraining/driving forces
- Defined driving force, and restraining forces
-Described and analysed 2 restraining and driving forces for change and restraining forces, in relation to Toyota, and mentioned its change issue of sustainability.

i wrote for this set of criteria, but i took well over 2 pages. IM concerned that others covered a lot more areas in this question and identfied more driving and restraining forcees, and wouldv'e wrote the same or less than me. I made sure to analyse specifically how the driving and restrainng forces acted as driving and restrainng forces respectfully, in relation to Toyota.
Was i wrong to go into that level of depth and possibly lose marks, or is what i did good enough to get me 10?
Cheers for any feedback

[flash36]

Nah man that's pretty much what I did, I did Westpac and social responsibility though. I gave definitions for driving and restraining forces, a general comment about their impac ton an organisation, and then describes 3 driving and restraining forces for the changes at Westpac. Then I just put in a closing statement.

will only doing 2 for each hinder my score but...?
and i didn't put in a final statement.
My analysis of each 2 however was of considerable depth, about half a page each
