^For global factors I wrote about Research and Development, economies of scale, scanning and learning, global sourcing. Syllabus dotpoints guizz
Yeh thats the stuff. I wrote about cultural/language barriers, exploiting workers, transporting costs, legal systems may be different and then wrote about currency fluctuations to pay workers in the outsourced country and also economic outlook if its boom/downswing since this is all global factors. Feel good since half the other people only wrote about different legal systems and about how there may be problems in language and dealing with eachother. If you talked about those things you mentioned you'd probably get near full marks in that part of the report.what are the global factors? things like cultural/language barriers, increased logistics complexity & cost, ethical considerations of exploitation?
2013 Report question was amazing. Also yeahI liked the 2013 business report question better
Nevertheless, this question is not too bad. Operations and Finance.
I think most students would hate it if HR popped up.
I assume Section IV was Marketing or HR as the 2 options?
That's what you were meant to write about. I understand global sourcing which is pretty much outsouring and economies of scale. But research and development? I dont care if its in the syllabus thats not a global factor affecting outsourcing unless research and development in regards to laws and legal compliances in the country the business is outsourcing to.The question was global factors in consideration of outsourcing - how is research and development, economies of scale, global sourcing and scant and learning relevant to outsourcing ?
I said things like cultural/language barriers, cheaper labour, increased logistics complexity and cost. Will I still get marks for my interpretation?
I was doing that too! I doubt it completely because you are still engaging with the question and the business itself so honestly i doubt it would make any difference....if that were to affect my mark and others who wrote about completely irrelevant syllabus dot points that would annoy me!I kept calling it just Emu Manufacturers...... Is that going to effect my mark? #plshelpme
I abbreviated it according to it the initials of the name...I kept calling it just Emu Manufacturers...... Is that going to effect my mark? #plshelpme
Yeah too true. Okay. Yeah i still referenced the fact that they made uniforms idk i just thought they were only called emu manufacturers :/I was doing that too! I doubt it completely because you are still engaging with the question and the business itself so honestly i doubt it would make any difference....if that were to affect my mark and others who wrote about completely irrelevant syllabus dot points that would annoy me!
HAHAHAAHAHAHA. I'm sure we will be fine. I think i even referred to them as "Emu's" in one of my sentences... fml hahaha. Hopefully they focus on the ACTUAL content of the reportI abbreviated it according to it the initials of the name...
it ended up being EUM. I hope the markers realise that I abbreviated it or they'll think I'm a spaz who cannot spell emu rofl
those make sense. As long as you explained it well, you'll definitely pick up some marksokay, fml. i was confident all the way through the exam until i reached the global factors of my business report. couldnt remember the doing point specifically urgh. just went with logisitics, warehousing and ecommerce for some reason. this totally threw me off for the essay aswell. omg.
You'd be surprised like mr white said that hsc markers actually look to give you marks. If you wrote 3 pages or more, the report is structure ok (exec summary body recommendation) and it sounds logical and cohesive and then wrote how you say only those 3 things they'll probably give you like a 12. If you explained them really well maybe a bit higher. Then to get into the 18+ region it all comes down to terminology and making sure you cover what the question asks.okay, fml. i was confident all the way through the exam until i reached the global factors of my business report. couldnt remember the doing point specifically urgh. just went with logisitics, warehousing and ecommerce for some reason. this totally threw me off for the essay aswell. omg.
