BM News Resources Thread.

[werdna]

I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread full of news articles, for us to make references to when studying or answering questions.

Don't post up the whole news article. Just insert the URL link and change the text of this link to what parts of the VCE BM course the article relates to.

You can still make other posts in this thread. I will include an overall list of articles in this post.

Articles:

1. Macro environment, internal environment.
2. Economic contribution, expansion of operations, competition, demand.
3. Managemental qualities, return for shareholders, macro environment, key performance indicators, management structure.
4. Ford examples by burbs.
5. The corporate/social responsibility of Officeworks.
6. Holden environmental policies and objectives.
7. Lend Lease planning and shares.
8. Ford's reduction in amount of employee staff due to external factors and downturn.
9. Key performance indicators to measure Woolworth's organisational performance, shares.
10. All about Coles, its management, its performance, etc.
11. Legal/political conditions vastly affecting organisations.
12. Zara's new store opening, expansion of operations, responding to customer feedback, roles of managers, etc.
13. Competitors in an organisation's macro environment.

Here are some resources on Ford I got last year.

I'm not even exaggerating, Ford can be used for almost everything.

EDIT: VN won't let me upload the powerpoint. That had heaps.

Whilst this is good of you to do, I think I'd just pipe in and say that VCAA dont seem to require you to be too up to date with your  examples, actually they seem to be pretty slack as mine were from a few years ago in some respects. I guess my point is - don't stress over finding the examples in the news, maybe focus on 2-3 companies as it will save time, especially since you said you want it in your bottom 2.

If you spend maybe one afternoon learning about a few companies like Fosters and Ford, you may be done for the year.

That said, this doesn't really hurt, and good luck to BM kids.
