Business Studies AS Paper 1

[hamzaj]

Hey guys,
can we discuss the section b question 5 over here? Most of the peopleare confused what to have written in part a so kindly help us to clarify the doubts.Here is that question:

Q5.a) explain the difference between mcgregors theory x and theory y?
b) discuss the benefits of teamworking to production workers and manager?

 

[bleedingwords123]

I first explained the main difference. Theory X managers believe workers don't like to work until they're told to do so. Theory Y managers believe that workers on average like to work so that they feel productive and know that they are contributing to the society (sense of belonging etc etc). Then I talked about leadership styles. Theory X managers adopt autocratic style while Theory Y managers adopt a more democratic style. And in the end I concluded that not all workers work best under one particular theory and some may be more responsive to Theory X while some to Theory Y.
Hope it suffices!

 

[hamzaj]

I did the exact same thing! Oh God, I'm so relieved. Although I didnt give much explaination and just wrote 1.5 pages

 

[bleedingwords123]

I wrote about two pages, but hey length shouldn't matter as long as we convey all the valid points clearly.

[Mansoor ali]

bleedingwords123 , I think you have written a splendidly well on theory X & Y and provided sufficient relation to other topics like leadership style, however dont you think your conclusion should have included examples of workers on whom these theories could be impliedz???

 

[Mansoor ali]

the discussion on the nature of cell phone market
pros and cons of mart research exp in relation to the cost to the other uses of this finance(oppportunity cost) like financing a loss leader, providing a me-too product, or investing in product development to get a first mover adv
