Title: Business Management 3/4 Summary Notes by shinny
Post by: shinny on December 21, 2008, 11:51:11 am: I've decided to upload the notes I compiled throughout the year. Finishing at 32 pages and 15,000 words, I think it covers pretty much the entire course (I think it actually goes beyond it in fact) except the change issue you're doing if it's not globalisation. Basically, my advice is to print this out ASAP and just spend the year highlighting and annotating it with real life examples and such. This is what I did with it, and by the end, pretty much every key concept in the book had an arrow coming out of it linked to an example. Come exam time, you should have memorised the majority of the theory and be able to apply it to a real life situation to secure the mark. Only thing left now is for you to practise wording answers, so just get feedback off your teacher for that. Mastering a combination of those two skills is pretty much all you need to secure high marks in business management. Anyway, here they are.

Also, if anyone wants the word document version so they can edit things or add in their change issue or new theory or whatever, PM me and I MIGHT send it to you. However, the decision will ultimately be up to me based on my level of trust on you.

Post by: shinny on January 12, 2009, 10:23:53 pm: You're probably not synthesising the information enough, but rather, just almost copying stuff straight out of the textbook. The reason why writing notes for me works is that in order to get it into such a small amount of writing, I have to think over the concept and understand it so I can rewrite it to myself (that's the whole point of writing notes, I don't actually read them strangely enough) in the minimum number of words possible, which is a guard to ensure you aren't simply copying straight out of the textbook.

Post by: Hielly on January 12, 2009, 10:27:10 pm: yerh. i was afraid i left even the little details out. So you've read like for example the whole chap 1 and then you wrote notes for it?

Post by: Hielly on January 12, 2009, 10:36:21 pm: oh wait, i just checked through my notes i had had alot of pictures(total of 12 pictures) that nearly took up half a page, that probably explains the length of my notes so far, and also my paragraphs are widely spread out.. >< got to fix it like yours, may i ask what font you use and the size? i find your notes alot easier to read

Post by: khalil on February 21, 2009, 08:51:37 am: wowwwwwwwww..thx.. i was worried about wasting time writing notes for BM.... that just took a load off from my homework.. but if i use ur notes, would that disadvantage me?????of not learning well or something????/
Title: Re: Business Management 3/4 Summary Notes by shinny
Post by: shinny on February 21, 2009, 01:19:55 pm: Who knows. I wrote these notes for my own personal use and basically didn't read them. My learning stage is in the actual writing of these notes so for me, I personally would have had no benefit in taking notes from someone else. However, everyone learns differently and others might be able to just read these and still be able to memorise them outright. Just see what works for you I guess... In the worst case, just write your own notes using mine as a supplementary resource.

Post by: khalil on March 07, 2009, 02:59:08 pm: hey, in the study design it says lso contribution to economy; but in your notes it only mentions benefits of lso..for themselves and to society.. would it still be the same thing??
Title: Re: Business Management 3/4 Summary Notes by shinny
Post by: shinny on March 07, 2009, 03:03:09 pm: It's pretty much the same thing...I just decided to break it down further to make it more summarised and orderly. In the end, basically everything in my notes is taken straight from the textbooks so even if my titles are slightly different, it should still cover almost the entire syllabus quite strictly to it.

I'd disagree.. LSO can both impact the economy positively and negatively... just look at BP over in America thats a huge negative impact for their economy...

My notes doesn't list the disadvantages not because there aren't any, but just because we don't have to know them.

Post by: crawf on May 03, 2013, 11:53:57 am: Have been using it for my first semester, and it's helped me out a fair bit with studying and making my own personal notes. My only criticism, which has probably changed within the 5 years since you posted this, was that a SWOT analysis doesn't help identify your management style - I wrote this in my SAC, got it wrong, complained, but 3 teachers stood against me on that one =D.

Despite that, AMAZING.

It's taken from the Barille textbook so you could argue your point if you bring that textbook up to them. Wrote it in all my SACs and whatnot and it was fine. It's just one method of identifying management style as far as I'm aware, but obviously there's many different ways of identifying a suitable management style, and many different things that a SWOT analysis can do.

Yeah. I wrote it when you're explaining the planning process, and linking the steps to the case study - said the SWOT analysis would help in identifying a management style to more accurately wo... blablabal. She said it wasn't the strongest possible link, and so did the two other assessors when it wasn't asking for the strongest link - Also completely contradicted herself when she changed official marks for 90% of the people who chose the wrong Management Style from the case study whom got it wrong. UHH.

Never the less, thanks alot shinny! :)

As I mentioned in my initial post, memorising the theory isn't the only part of business management. In fact, it's probably one of the easier parts. Learning how to word your answers is a component which isn't often taught and is often done horribly by students. So learn the theory, learn how to word your answers and then you'll stand a chance at getting a high score.

You can still use shinny's Notes, but there will be adjustments that you will need to make as you go along.

Just want to say, although I do realise that it has been like 5 years since you wrote this, I just found the area on centralised vs decentralised systems to not be as in depth as they could have been, but that's something really minor! :)
