confusing terminology
chubz90:
...well didnt know what else to title the thread ???
Im wondering if there is any specific terminology to busman or if its more sort of fluid. I don’t mean like actual definitions but rather certain titles or wordings. for instance....
For the criteria for [contributions of LSO] each of these different references has different titled dot points with slightly different emphasis.
-one reference had ~ Provide employment, Develop Australia’s Industrial base, stimulate infrastructure growth, Earn export income
-another had~ GDP, Employment, Balance of payment (BoP), Research and development (R&D)
-and yet another had~ Provision of employment, High levels of production, A sound industrial base, Product innovation and R&D, Export earnings
Do you sort of get what i mean? I just want to get the wording right. Hell i even managed to confuse my teacher on one or two of them. I just need to know, is there anyway of knowing which is better of more right or more suited to VCAA. Its only because those that mark the exams are usually very anal.

None are wrong, or less wrong for that matter. The wording is not important. The ideas that you are conveying and the explanation (in this instance about contributions of LSO's) is more important than just stating the sub-title that the text book offered.
Explaining what 'providing employment', 'employment', 'provision of employment' actually means is what is important, not just the stating of the contribution.
Don't confuse yourself too much by referring to too many sources. I'd only refer to a 2nd or 3rd reference if the area of the course you were looking at seemed ambiguous or vague. In this instance, about contributions of LSO's the economy, it wouldn't be worth referring to more than one text.
There may though be instances where correct terminology may have to be used. Like Planning, Organising, Leading, Controlling etc but that should be pretty obvious to you.
In short, you should be able to identify which areas of the course can allow for fluid explanations using loose terminology and which areas of the course are specifically structured around naming and using correct terminology. Eg. A Motivational theory

i def agree, great advice (:
in the end, just remember the one that is easiest to remember, as long as you can get the correct meaning across.
and don't spend too much time stressing about memorising them, try to truly understand them, so that when it comes to the exam, you have it all in your long term memory, not just in the short term (this part of the brain is particularly prone to freezes during stressful periods).
but like costa said, sometimes the specific terms are required, such as POLC.

Yeah i understand the concept above all although its just that there are some points emphasized on more than others which usually get me confused. Its just im confused what the main points or things in business that are standard and cant be changed. As in the things that i must memorise. I guess the only main points are those, mentioned in the study design? Ill try to be a little more relaxed about having the 'exact' wording- i guess i tend to treat business as more of a science. :)
on another note-i wish odette was still here :(
