What would a 12/16/20/24 marker on CPA or decision trees look like though? Obviously will relate to info given in the case

It was a 16 marker in 2018's paper 3 and asked whether they could meet the deadline for all the activities

what actually is corporate governance? is it bureaucracy and being focused on shareholder needs rather than stakeholder?

I think thats along the lines. It’s basically like the responsibility the board of directors have, like setting directiong/aims, supervising management, reporting to shareholders yaddayaddayaa… i think it generally aligns with its stakeholders thats why there could be a divorce of ownership between the directors and shareholders

Probably motivation theory as that hasn't come up much yet, could equally be something to do with growth or critical path. The timing is definitely the worst for this one. It's 100 marks in 120 mins, the format is 12,12,16,16,20,24 so timing wise you can't have much longer than a minute per mark. Maybe I should do it in reverse order but am not a massive fan either way.

Swear down

I don't know why but I feel like kotter and schlesinger could come up as a 16 maybe. It came up as a 12 in paper 3 in maybe 2017 but not much on it really. Any thoughts?

How are we supposed to revise for this? Just ensure we are brushed up on models/theories and that we are familiar with case studies/ appendices

so the format is 12,12,16,16,20,24 I think and you'll have a case study so the questions will be based on that. we never got a chance to do it as a mock either

We had not done a paper 3 either in these conditions but I believe it is the 12, 12,16,16,20 and 24 format. With the 24marker being an open question I.e all businesses!

Exactly my thoughts, would have expected them to come up as a calculation question in Paper 2 but it wasn't to be! Internationalisation would be cheeky icl

feel like after the 25 marker on emerging economies it may not come up, i know its completly differnte but still linked

they arent that bad the timings you should use
5-10 mins per 12 marker.
15 mins on each 16 marker
*by one hour have the 12 and 16 markers done
and then 20-25 mins on the 20 marker
and as much time as possible on the 24 marker.

top tip, read the questions and then look at the case study

also a tip from my teacher

a finished bit brief answer is better than some really good answers and some that are half done

He said like a consistent 8/12 and 10/16 are a lot better than 11/12 for one question and then like 6/16 on the 16marker

umm, for the motivation ones i usually say

eg allowing the workers to make decisions means on hackman and oldham they get autonomy. this leads to them feeling responsibility at work. this means they feel valued and trusted to make decisions. this leads to higher quality , retention , lower absenteeism , higher productivity etc

thats all i can think of on the spot xD i just finished revising it - im probably done for today lol
