Well in my opinion ... know:

Stakeholders in ER Process
Managing ER
Influences on ER
Effective ER (communication, grievance procedures, rewards, training and development, flexible working conditions)
Legality of ER (contracts, Regulation)
Types Of Employment
Industrial Conflict (types of, views on)
ER Ethics In the workplace (eg: workers comp... )

God thats practically the whole syllabus, but ive managed to put it on 5 A4 pages. For ER especially its really about memorising these lists .. *know* a case study for this.

I have over 40 [typed] pages, and I have not, for any subject, created summaries.

Jeez aren't you helpful! :rolleyes: I think when people ask what they should know they kinda want a narrowed down list of what people perceive to be the most important parts. However, I agree that with business studies there are no short cuts.

Just follow the syllabus and you'll be right!

Yes, the syllabus is where they ask questions from.

Nothing can really be considered more important than something else. Everything is of equal importance because they can ask anything.

report = 2topics
essay= other 3topics

thats what i heard ...
i reckon business is more about common sense, i remember during my prelims i remembered the whole textbook and yes i actually mean the whole textbook ! and when i walked into the exam it barely asked anything about theory, it mainly consisted of Q's like "what strategy can be used if so and so .... " kinda annoyed me because i wasn't use to the structure of the q's.
