June 16, 2012 at 7:28 am #99927thanks i have updated the original list as per your feed back.
Anymore that can be cut off, cause 30 is still a large number, for my dumb brain 😀
What should we do in the following 2 situations:
a) when a question ask’s to apply a specific model likeapplying Harmon’s methodology how business process should be redesigned in Company XYZ?
b) Using appropriate theoretical models support your question
1 a)Should we explain the model in situation a or b?
1 b)if so what level of detail?
2 )Do we need to state the model inverter/creators name ( do u get any marks for stating it) or are marks deducted for stating wrongly?Any other suggestions that you would like to make regarding handling the application of Models in p3 questions?
Thanx
June 16, 2012 at 9:52 am #99928You can probably leave #16 out also.
Unless specifically asked to, you should no describe a model: you should use it. If you remember the name of the creator, that’s good, but not vital. Don’t guess.
There’s is often a ‘key word’ hint in the requirements. For example, on change management if asked to describe the contextual features then that’s a big hing to use Balogun and Hope Hailey. Your answer will usually attract more marks if you use some sort of model(s), but the marking is quite forgiving if you choose an unexpected one. However, choosing one the examiner didn’t expect usually means that it won’t fit the facts of the case quite so well so you will be able to say less. Look at what’s given in the scenario and think what model(s) might fit that information.
August 25, 2012 at 8:41 am #99929Sir.I have only 3 months to prepare for this exam.I am currently working and the work has alot of its pressures.The ACCA textbook of P3 is very thick and I am getting concerned with the little time left to prepare for the exams.Is there a shorter(quicker) way of approaching this subject?Oh ,am also resitting P1 and attempting P2 for the first time.
August 29, 2012 at 3:37 pm #99930Just use the OpenTuition notes and lectures AND work through past exam questions. That is usually enough.
