FAQ
Metro Group - 2003

    Note that these responses are not official additions to the questions; only explanations of what is required to answer them. Be sure you read the question and understand it fully before answering.

Questions 5C. How do I support them?, based on advantages and disadvantages?  With facts and recommendations?

   These questions are a very important part of the course. They relate to your being able to relate the theory in the course (the first part of each of those questions) to a practical application. Just re-listing the advantages or disadvantages from an earlier part is not the question. Put yourself in the position of someone working for the company. Did the company make the right choice or not? Why?
    You need to relate the company's specific situation at that time to the particular approach. For example, what were their goals? how much time did they have? what were they trying to accomplish? Were particular disadvantages or advantages of great importance to them? Why? How did each of these things relate to the approach they chose.
    Also, and obvious, the same support is not going to work for the different questions. Be specific.

Question 6. I have in my notes that for this question we just define the three criteria but pick one that the company is applying. Is this correct or do I have to define how it applies to all three if they do so apply?

You need to start with either yes or no and then completely support (with definition) which one if yes, or with definitions, why not any of the three.

   Any suggestions on how to answer this?

I suggest that you (1) define the term, (2) state your answer, and (3) relate the facts in the case to the specific elements of the definition to support your answer. Include specific examples, if appropriate.

    Where can I find the definitions for this?
