i didnt do the paper,,, our school buys us al the cssa papers for practise before our trials. we got the business paper at about the same time u finished at around 12 today. our teacher gave us 25 minutes to do multiple choice. he wasnt sure about 17 if it was "Domestic branding" or "Deceptive and misleading advertising". He will check up on it and ill let u guys know tomorrow. also when are the independent business studies exams done this year? cuz they were lying next to me in the head of ecos/business's room i was like "is this....?" then his like "ur not suppose to see that" ***places book on top of pile***. hah

That's cool....thanks Tommy. I remember what I put now (in words). How certain are you that your answers are correct? Provided Q17 was deceptive and misleading conduct, then I'm on 17/17 according to your answers...but I had the 3 Global Business questions replaced and I get the feeling that I didn't get any of them :(

One of my replacement questions was along the lines of:

Manufacturers have a duty of care to their customers. This was:
A) first enacted in the Trade Practices Act 1974
B) determined through common law


I eliminated the other two options, but I'm not sure of the answer. What do you think?

And just another question in regards to my MC replacements:

When would a change agent best be used?
A) When a business has already implemented changes without informing employees
B) When a company has decided to restructure its business due to competition


Again, I eliminated the other two.

Cool...that's what I put.
I actually asked the question in the Legal Forum...but I remember something about a slug in a woman's drink (?) from Yr 10 Commerce.

And with the second question...I just wasn't sure whether a change agent was more useful in the "refreezing" stage or prior to the entire change taking place.

Thanks goan_crazy :)

in the "managing change effectively" section of the syllabus
there are 4 sections
1.identify the need for change
2.set achievable goals
3.create a culture for change-heres where change agents go-
change agents are influential supporters of change.
4.be aware of the change models- i.e. lewins unfreeze change refreeze model and force field analysis
the change agent is in "creating a culture for change"

the snail in a ginger ale bottle is the donoghue v. stevenson case- i answered this in the legal forum. It recognised that a manufacturer had a duty of care to final consumers. Meaning you're right :)

it depends on the school, not all do it in the booklets etc...
At our school, for some reason we get a random mix of our own booklets, HSC booklets and some old-style booklets that look like they came from the 1950s...I have no idea why they don't just use the same booklets, and I also have no idea where they got so many official HSC booklets from...

Cool...thanks :)
I just had a look at my Business textbook, and to me it seems as though a change agent is more useful in actually promoting the benefits of a change before it happens, as you mentioned above. So hopefully I'm right...and hopefully Tommy_69's answers are also right :p

At my school, we used some from CSSA and some the school made up. That's why I'd like to have a look at the CSSA paper
Like you, ~ ReNcH ~, we didn't have any global- except one multiple choice question- im sure that was an accident or was part of change though- which i guessed.

Our extended response - for the report had "boredofstudies" in it. Lol So I wrote about a business called "We-Cheat-4u" who had this site as "competition". Had to talk about change, marketing and finance

my last two were on nature of change and effective employment relations
or
reasons for resistence to change and legal framework
i did legal framework one.

How was yours ~ ReNcH ~... and did your school make up your responses?

Well, Q6, 15 and 19 of the MC were replaced for me, as well as Q21 of the short answer and both Sections III and IV.
The replacement Qs were essentially the ones I asked you about (+ one more which I'm sure I got wrong). My replacement for Q21 wasn't too bad...it was about planned obsolesence and its ethical implications, as well as some kids wanting to create a new electric scooter.
The replacements for Sections III and IV weren't too bad either. Section III was primarily Marketing/Change/Finance with a little bit of ER. Section IV was ER and mostly change - it asked for the key influences on ER + reasons for resistance to change + managing change effectively.

they steal them from previous HSC's :)
Hehe...they must give so many additional booklets. I wonder if it's based on how many students there are at each school, or whether BOS just distributes the same volume to every school...my grade isn't large (around 116 I think), but the class of '04 had around 130 though so maybe that's where the extra booklets came from :)

How was it primary data collection? It even said the findings were from an indepedant researcher...
Looking at those answers looks like i stuffed up multiple choice.

I think the question was something like...
Person X stands in a store and surveys people as they enter...I can't remember what the store was or what the person's name was. In which case, it was primary data collection. I think our replacements were harder than the actual MCs in the original paper.
