I thought the test was pretty good, the multiple choice was easy apart for two questions, explaining them was a little difficult but the second section was really great except for supplier credit terms, how about you?

Yeah that question was tricky and the human resource competitiveness. Do you remember what you put for the one where an employee came up with an idea of a spinning chair to help with some car production i put capacity utilization but apparently it was Kaizen

Yeah i think its kaizen because it increases effiiency with shorter lead times

The multiple choice for what i can remember was

1) PED question - Revenue increases and demand is inelastic

2) Marketing objectives - Mass marketing (hopefully)

3) Spinning chair - Kaizen

4) The faulty car part - function

5) Samsung question - inadequate research

I cant remember the other ones, and for the human resource competitiveness question was that the one when they hired a specialist person or something?

Yeah i got same answers as you, the other multiple choice was something to do with Boston matrix and i remember selecting product portfolio for it. For the human resource competitiveness i just couldn't think of an advantage and guessed saying it would save them money

Yeah i think you were right man, hiring a specialist trainer would mean there will be lower training costs because the guy can teach workers how to be more efficient and productive thats what i put
