I seem to have a problem downloading the slides…Please advise what the problem could be…

thanks
@overboard Sorry but you have to listen to them all 🙂
Kindly let me know when materials for Dec 2011 exams would be ready.
There won’t be new notes
Only some minor corrections
So feel free to use June 2011 notes for Dec exams
yeah its true with out open tuition nothing is complete
How can we practice the new areas in P3 from papers? Revision kits do not appear to include enough of the new areas. Thank you.
I have been a little surprised by some of the revision kits and how little they address new or enhanced areas in the syllabus. Recent articles in SA magazine will certainly help you with the theory:
Business strategy and pricing (Feb 2011)
Business forecasting and strategy (Jan 2011)
Project management (Oct 2009)
I believe another article on Project management should appear shortly.
It’s very important to look at the examiner’s article ‘Business analysis – changes to the syllabus from June 2011’ (Aug 2010) and the new, current pilot paper.
That still leaves you with few practice questions and OpenTuition hopes to publish some questions and answers (not necessarily full 25 mark questions) that will provide you with some practice.
I went through the P5 past papers and a number of questions appear to be relevant. Yet the depth, width and style are somewhat different from what we know with regards to P3 past papers. So it might be risky to base the revision on relevant P5 past papers in respect of the ‘new’ P3 areas.
Your guidance above is very much appreciated and I am going to share it with my study colleagues.
Thank you.
i need open tuition summary notes
without opentuition.com we feel so incomplete.how is that ??
haha..nice 🙂
Correction our ACCA qualification will remain incomplete… :p

Great Work!
Thanks again 🙂
Thank you for your thanks!
I don’t think that’s right. But I am happy to look at evidence for your view. Here’s a summary from a book of theirs, “Exploring Strategic Change”, Julia Balogun, Veronica Hope Hailey
The authors present a useful and applicable framework to tackle major change projects. The basis of their framework is the “Change
Kaleidoscope”, a tool that considers essential design choices for change projects while taking into account the organisational context. In the end, the tool can help you to get a balanced view the change from all major perspectives and to decide about the best way to go
forward.
The Design choices are:
• Time
• Scope
• Preservation (what do you want to keep?)
• Diversity
• Capability
• Capacity
• Readiness
• Power
The do not only help to determine the best design for the change project but also indicate its prospects for success. The design choices to make are:
• Change path (e.g. evolution vs. revolution)
• Start point (top, bottom,…)
• Change style (e.g participation, direction,…)
• Change target (e.g.: behaviours, values,…)
• Change levers (which interventions can be used
to bring change about?)
• Roles (who are the major change agents?)
Our slide suggests that change style involves deciding whether we are going to be dictatorial or participative, and that change interventions or levers relate to communication, team building and cultural interventions. That seems in line with their book.
Thanks for your response.
The slide does not show as clear as what you said above.
“…….Change style: which management style should be adopted?
Change interventions: education, communication, cultural interventions……”
Furthermore, section 2.6 of the book “Exploring Stragetic Change” – 3rd edition – on Change Levers actually goes into details discussing the cultural web.
Section 14.4 of our textbook “Exploring Corporate Strategy” – 8th edition says “Some of the levers for change have already been discussed in Chapter 11 in relatin to the effects of changes in structures and control systems of organisations. Here other possible change levers are discussed. In so doing it is worth noting that many of these correspond to the elements of the cultural web.”
Regards.
The slide on Balogun and Hailey’s change implementation choice contains errors.
It’s change styles that refer to education, participate, direction and coerion and not change intervention.
Change intervention or change levers actually refer to the inter-related elements of the cultural web.
Regards,
very interesting and helpful
