HOW TO WRITE ASSIGNMENT [BBPP 1103] SEPT 2008

This time, students need to answer question by question.....or one by one. HOWEVER, never forget that in every question, there should be an INTRODUCTION to subject matter.

Example; what are the skills required?....INTRODUCTION according to Shahrol Aman Ahmad (et al) in BBPP1103 Management Principles, there are three skills required by all managers; technical, interpersonal and conceptual. The percentage or weightage of each skills differ in accordance to level of a manager. if he is a top management manager [GM or MD], then his focus is on the conceptual skills.

As for the manager that I interviewed, he is an Assistant Manager of a Bank Branch in Segambut. Therefore........

Once completed, you go to the next question.

Dont forget to give your conclusion. As for this assignment, the last question is in fact your conclusion.

Good luck

HOW TO DO GOOD ASSIGNMENT

Copy? Yes copy....copy smartly. Copying to me is smart learning. But if you copy without thinking then, it shows you are not careful.

In life we always copy. But if you colour your hair (copying others) so very colourful and attended a funeral with it, then you are just plain stupid. You may say nobody would do that....yes I agree. But as a tutor, I saw students copy other people assignment blindly. In a way....that is stupid...right?

I for one will copy the format, the technique of answering, in short what to do and what not to do.

If we manage to look at other people assignment, then we will have a better idea of doing a better one. If we dont attempt this, we may be blur for quite sometimes before we can start doing. It is a shortcut for the thinking process.

Well, the choice is your, Good luck.

PLOC

This abbreviation stand for PLAN, LEAD, ORGANISE and CONTROL. If you surf in internet, there are many other meaning that come with it. These are basic functions of management and/or a manager. Some writers include also, STAFFING. 

In my experience, most important aspect is plan and control.

If our plan is so good and is very clear and comprehensive (menyeluruh), then those who will execute/implement the plan will carry on smoothly. Dont forget, in the plan we should also include who is to do what. Actually this is called ORGANISE.

Next important aspect is control. Our subordinates must assume or perceive that we are controlling the whole activity. If the boss is not in control, then the whole project, plan, strategy or what ever it is will be a failure.

One of the issues raised by many writers is lack of resources, expertise, financial, logistic etc. In a real world we borrow. But in the military we used to say, beg borrow or steal [ ha ha ha]. Its true and that is what being practised by many corporate world, rich and poor.

HOWEVER, universities and colleges dont teach us this. Me as a tutor in a university, teach this to my students. Sharing is caring.

And I wish, business school also teach their students how to avoid cheating and how to identify a con man/businessmen.
