Black ink pen only.
No worry as the invigilator will be there to guide you to fill in. Just hands up when you dont know.

basically is juz a graph that shows all the activities in a company..
and there are 2 types of activities which is primary and supporting...the definition read urself..

and this framework is to use by a company to identify 'value activity' which is activity that create value to customer.

basically, the value can be differentiate to low price(low cost strategy) and quality(differentiation strategy) which encourage a customer to buy a product.

Other than that, we may used it in the review current position question, we use it to identify the linkages internally and externally(linkages network). and there may some advantage related to having robust linkages for eg strong linkage which supplier so the supplier will understand our company well and deliver the quality of material and send it timely.so we can hold lower lvl inventory and save cost...and etc..

for the implementation for service industry, actually not very clear about wat u asking about?
is which part of implementation??

coursemate, need some help wit CMMI.. anyone pls?? im quite confused wit it.. cant really understand by reading the Kaplan's text!

QUOTE(b3llad0nna @ Dec 7 2007, 07:34 PM)

There is a whole pull out on ACCA ... all kinda information la

from colleges tht provide acca, to all the medalist and finalist for last sitting... etc etc.. TAR & Sunway plantinum status.. hehe almost all the other college, segi, mcorange, ftms gold status...

Looks like HELP college also offering acca from next yr onwards!.. I guess ACCA is becoming more & more famous..Haha!!

neway i dont think u can find it online.. Just check thurs newspaper, the star if i'm not mistaken.. there's a PULL OUT.

McOrange's schedule is out. chow kim tai is lecturing for paper P5 next sem. everything else almost the same. Michael only coming for IRC next sitting.
Just wondering, is CKF lecturing for advance tax next sitting in segi?? what days are his classes normally..and the fees.

ANYONE ATTENDED MS.MENON's F7 course this sitting ???? Could you please share her tips!!! My friends badly need it.. hehehee.. so prettyyyyyy prettyyyyyyyyy pleaseeeeeeee... F7 TIPS Thanks in advance!

LOL.. saw that whole thing bout ACCA..
and Tarc is forever the same stingy type.. alwaz make small advertisement, this time.. less den 1/4 of the page and its in black and white..
compare wit Sunway, whole page with colour..

gosh, its like their honour for getting the platinum status, oni 2 in msia, tiny bit of the 10% worldwide ACCA approved tuition provider =p

same same la~lets gambateh together la~~
for the F9 i saw ppl say is quite ok, how come u say u r doing very badly?

for the CMMI(5 lvl process), it is a model that use to design a software..
but now a days, it used to identify which lvl of a organization's process are..
for the detail at every lvl, i think u better look at the pilot paper Q3(if not mistaken) answer, its answer quite well, by read the answer is much more easy to understand than lookin at the text book..

on the contrary, CMMI is not a software design methodology. CMMI is a company assessment method to assess whether a company has what it takes to produce good software consistently.

Exam centers, at least Srisedaya and sunway are pretty cold, so some sweaters are advised.

hahaha, sunway pretty much screams about their 'successes' XD i guess the 'peer pressure' in sunway is much higher compared to outside.

bunch of nerds studying acca everyday, don't feel stress oso hard.

ermm.. im not so sure bout that, but i think our exam entry slip, has stated th rules and regulations behind our details..

but i think, using black pen is gud...

bcuz even exams in coll, lecturers requested us to use black pen..

cuz it would be easier for them to see and mark..

Black pen refers to the filling of student details I believe.(on ur booklet,attendance slip)

I've always used blue pen for my answer script

@Zoeee : don't wry about balancing the b/s. If pass/failures were determined by that,most of the students would be failing especially at higher lvls

No seriously,just post as much answers u can from ur workings. As Menon (frm sunway) would always say,pick up as much marks as possible,especially the easier ones.Don't bother too much bout the harder marks
