    Hi there,

    Are you able to help me – a simple yes or no next to each point will be enough. I have seen a previous students list of areas they focused on for the P3 exam and the below few listed are not in the Kaplan text. Are you able to confirm if these are relevant for the June 14 P3 exam?

    Many Thanks

    Steve

    Charles Handy – types of culture (power,role,task, people): Yes
    McKinsey’s 7S: No
    Porters generic strategy – cost leadership, product differentiation, focus group. Yes – very (it’s ‘focus’ not ‘focus group’. A focus groups is a marketing research term)
    Ahsdrige portfolio model: Yes
    Special contracts: Could be because F5 stuff like contribution analysis is there.
    Rummler and Brache – Gaps and disconnecting: No
    6 stages of using IT (initiation,contagion,control,integration,data admin,maturity). No
    Tuckman’s stages of formation. No

    When I put ‘No’ that doesn’t mean that including the topic in your answer would be wrong, it means that the subject could be never be asked specifically and they would be of limited use. I don’t lecture on any of the ‘No’ items above in P3
