VCAA Business Management 2010 Exam

[jsher098]

yeah no way , its like saying that styles can be accepted when skills were asked. cannot be done mate

exactly right. vcaa put in questions like that to separate the top and bottom students...
they won't just take it out because most people answered it incorrectly...
what they will do is outline the mistake in the examiners report

for the last qestion my teacher who marked papers said that 2 driviing ad 1 restraining forces were required plus an appropriate link with an org example to get 6 marks. the other 4 marks include definition of driv/rest forces, defination of org change, mention of how driv/rest forces effect change, and a statement on how driv/rest forces affected change at the exemplified org mentioned.

On another note, my teacher also said of the 400 papers she marked, only 2 scored 60 or above. A large proportion of results were between 25-40. If we take this sample as a consensus for the rest of the students, could you almost say that getting 60+ would get you a 50 (with a top SAC result as well)?

Congrats to those two people, at least.

It has also been confirmed that you need to provide specific structure eg matrix / team/ functional rather than tall or beauracratic structures

Wow thats scary

It was a compare and contrast one right? Didn't think there'd be enough information to C&C two specific structures, but oh well

[jackson1234]

Yeah you couldve listed their advantages and disadvantages as a way to compare and contrast

Yeah you couldve listed their advantages and disadvantages as a way to compare and contrast

You still needed to weigh the options and by just stating both advantages and disadvantages wouldn't have been enough (needed to clearly say which one was the better alternative i.e. in a conclusion).

[jackson1234]

yeah i did

She also said that the compare and contrast question was poorly answered as the majority of students simply stated features, as opposed to comparing and contrastin features, which lead to no marks being awarded

Excuse my ignorance, but what question was that? :S

EDIT: Got it. Should have read the first page first!
