Q3 b is : mintzberg organisation form diagrams that diagram as show probaly represents what is called machine bureaucracy or small company (only Strategic APX and operation core) that is matching with Q.
and other organisational structure is Virtual and Shamrock organisation as a core of executives and worker supported by outside contractor and part-time help . I think this is not matching with scenerio.

1 (a) performance: financial performance (profit, sales...) and non financial performance (sales, market share)....
contribution: most important is that they are in a value chain network. so we must assess them in this aspect.

Overall i think the paper was ok. Open tuition was a great help for me it gave me an open end to be able to cover the course content within very limited time when i felt i may not be able to do anythin wihin a month and half. With a combination of the kaplan text and en-gage modules i am more than hopeful i will succeed this time round to proceed to my next stages.

okay its q1 (b) a really time consuming topis but the model which click to my mind is strategic change matrix and i wrote abt radical change is required wat u guys think is it right?

Yes it was just like a bad dream. Disastrous.

chor do yaar paper ko.... jo hona tha so ho gaya...
In posts ko parh k to aur b zayaada afsos ho gaya hy mjhe... I just left one topik from the whole boooook.. N that was d one tested in part b i.e ,change kaleidoscope
:( :( :( :(
BT stillll enjoy d holidays frndsssss

it is a fairer paper this time...if u prepared very well. especially did most recent past exam questions...But for me...The time is tight...finger crossed pass P3 this time!!!

Change change change. It was gud I had spotted it quite well. Whole paper was fair guys. God will help us pass this one.

Q1a.Given market shares & market growth, I think Bcg was the appropriate model.
part b, I didn"t revised Balogun so I apply the Lewins unfreeze/freeze model: unfreeze-cultures,org.paradigm,management style-leadership etc.Do u think this could be ok ?
Q2 was quite good but I think Q3 was a bloody trapped in which i got caught.

Goodluck 2 u all.

Can anybody please guide me that which book is usually recommended by the teachers, KAPLAN or BPP

questions and answers are available on acca's site

i use the swot for the first question,because really find it a little bit longer to write if use PESTEL.but for the contribution i seperately answered .the last question, just memorise the culture web, and is relectant to fit the scenario into it.and the minzberg's matrix just remeber a little bit ,so only use my own thought to answer it. hope that does not matter.

and just find bpp practise&revision kit is really helpful, but i really did not have time to go through every question and to remember them .fo the culture web and minzberg's i did review it the day before i took the exam ,so as the synergy manager ,parent developer and porfolio manager. but really a shame, did not review it carefully.
