    tute eke thiyenne

    "Human Resource Management (HRM) is the strategic approach to the effective management of an organization's workers so that they help the business to gain a competitive advantage"

    answer
    Machan I did CIMA a long time ago..So I cant remember the exact areas of the syllabus what you are asking..But with some common sense you can easily answer the question..

    Basically there are two parts in this question
    1. Describe the main issues (say 5 marks)
    2. The stages involved in developing an HR plan (say 5 marks)

    1. You will have to read the scenario thoroughly to identify the current weaknesses and issues in CX. As you read just make some short notes on the question paper..Since there are 5 marks allocated to the sub question you will have to find 5 weaknesses..You must write each weakness in a new paragraph..This will make the markers life easy..(one paragraph might contains 2 sentences). So now you grabbed 5 marks.

    2. The stages in developing the HR plan.
    i. Identify the current HR needs and other bottlenecks that the company is experiencing
    ii. Implement a culture with good HR practices
    iii. Recruit well qualified and well experienced staff to fill those gaps
    iv. Give them a good induction, training and development
    v. Implement a sound performance appraisal system..

    You must relate all these 5 ideas to the scenario..No marks if you just write these..(the above 5 points might be different to what you have learnt)

    Remember always one idea worth only one mark..

    So practicing exam questions is the key here.I advice you to buy/photocopy CIMA exam practice KIT and do all the questions..read the answers and learn how they have been written and their structure..
    (if you can do all the questions in the Exam practice KIT alone, I guarantee you a comfortable pass)

    Good luck with your exams..

    This is really wrong.:no::no::no: you must study the official study text. And you should attempt the questions in the exam practice kit...(If you have prior knowledge{say you are a university student} you might skip the official study text. But why take a risk?)

    earlier, refering the official study text was a must..
    but now , official study text is no longer developed by the examiner himself..
    the study text is developed by kaplan now

    and in the most recentexamination (NOV 2012) non of the kaplan predictions were there in the paper...so why wasting time on such a bulky book ..

    doing past papers as much as you can is the best way to get through the exam
    (yes before couple of years study text was the way..but not now)

    You can answer this question from common sense may be because you look at the syllabus from above and you know exactly what it is and i look it from down and i'm clueless and don't know where to begin Anyway After i read your answer i understood that the question ask to write main issues and stages not a HR plan . my mistake, we were not taught about those stuff yet. yes your right i'm going to buy CIMA Text i can't just depend on the tute given by the class. Where can i buy those books? thanks for your reply.

    Earlier also it wasn't developed by the Examiner and it wasn't a must to refer. They never write study texts and if you want to pass easily you can refer. FYI It was developed by Elsvier..Examiners change from time to time and also the syllabus..

    You take Kaplan, Bpp, Elsvier, GTG..All have the same syllabus and the same content..(ultimately it's your personal preference what to follow)

    The exam practice kit (whether its Elveir, Kaplan or Bpp) all consist of past exam questions..When you attempt the questions in the Exam practice Kit, you automatically do past exam questions..

    "(yes before couple of years study text was the way..but not now)" Really? I should have met you a loooong looooong time ago..In vain

    I think the institute will give us pastpaper questions books for all 3 subjects. So one final question should i buy CIMA text for PO and FO also or is it something unnecessary?

    Again thanks for your time.

    ya its true that i finished CIMA a long time ago (not so long BTW) and have work experience to look at things from different angles..This is exactly what you need to develop my friend...So practicing questions is the key..(I dont mind you giving more preference to the exam practice kit than the study text,(if you think you need to develop knowledge study text is important too)

    Have no idea from where to buy..why dont you go to the library and get a photocopy done of the latest?? (wont cost you more than 1000 bucks)

    My answer is, buy study texts and exam practice kits for all the subjects provided you have time to refer those.

    If you dont have time (if you are working full time) buy only the exam practice kits and do all the questions while you are studying your course notes given by the institute.

    I'm a full time student so i have enough time the thing that i don't have is motivation lol Definitely i'm going to buy study texts for EO but for PO and FO i have to think twice about it. Thanks for your input senior I really appreciate it.
