Since I am also a tutor with Open University Malaysia, I like to share my experience in the subject matter.
Management is a very wide subject. But for the exam we have to master the module before anything else. But you are given the freedom to use any reference when preparing the assignment.
Why keep to the module? Because [my own opinion] they are basic knowledge that we must know in this subject. All sub-topics are selected by panel of experts.
Later after you are employed, you may want to apply any theory...is up to you.
Exam tips. For adult students like you, the question is always of the application type. Like what would you do to introduce change in your organization? What are the obstacles and how do you overcome them?
Communication. What are comm barriers and how do you overcome them?
Motivation. Define / explain briefly expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory and reinforcement model.
Leadership. What is the difference between transactional leadership and transformational leadership?
Control. What are factors that need to be controlled?
Others. Please read the module and make your guess.
