Since it asks for 2 characteristics, maybe you can get that mark(s) if you describe consultative characteristics as its consequential, but we won't know till results day

Umm the question about OM strategies that are ESRM did that specify a stage in the production process? or was it in general? i cant remember

general
Discuss two out of materials management, quality management, facilities design and layout and technology...

I discussed Material management- gave the example of Cadbury and the Fairtrade initiative where they only purchase from suppliers who use sustainable production methods and do not use slave labour
then discussed quality management approach of TQM. TQM is linked to social responsibility... achieving perfection, very strong customer focus... total-defect prevention...

[flash36]

I just picked two OM strategies and said how they could be used in an ethical and socially responsible way. I did a Just In Time materials management strategy, which reduces waste hence reduces the waste that has to be disposed of; I used a car oil manufacturer as an example, and my other strategy was technology (robots and CAD) which take the place of human employees, however this could be used as a strategy whilst giving the outplaced workers new tasks within the organisation to avoid making them redundant, which can be arguably unethical.

HEY GUYS WAS THE MOTIVATION QUESTION ABOUT LOCKE OR MASLOW?

[swiftheels]

Locke I think

[ohmyjosh]

OMG. HOW MANY POINTS WAS IT!?

*due to stress I interchanged Locke and Maslow's names. How dumb. I freakin wrote about Maslow!!!!

[swiftheels]

Oh That sucks :/
Maybs 4-6 marks can't quite remember

[ohmyjosh]

I was almost confident in every question, but then I remember this. DUMB ME ksdfjikrnjfhierfkwerjfierjfksrfj.

I hope they give me atleast 1?

[luken93]

It was 11 marks in total for the explanation and 2 benefits (5 + 6 marks)

[ohmyjosh]

the benefit question is not affected by the motivational theory. its in the same question about the graduates but you didn't have to link it to the benefits.

[ohmyjosh]

Why do you want me to suffer, luken93?

[luken93]

Why do you want me to suffer, luken93?

Hahaha sorry mate, just stating the facts, although if your benefits could in any way be related to Locke, you should almost be able to get full marks...
