FALL 2016 MIDTERM EXAM CORRECTIONS:

 

I gave additional credit for some problems I found in the multiple choices:

 

1001 BLUE FORM

  2. Value chain activities include all of the following EXCEPT:

      a.  supply-chain management.

      b.  operations

      c.  management information systems.                                                                   

      d.  distribution.

 

       While “c” is the best answer, I not only mis-coded this answer as

       “b,” but the way I have drawn the value chain in my slides make it

       difficult to spot any right answer in this question.

 

       So if you had “a,” “c” or “d,” I would have adjusted your grade,

       The Scantrons have already given you credit if you picked “b.”

 

 

 40. The choices that a firm has for entering the international market

       include all of the following EXCEPT:

       a. factoring.        b. leasing.         c. licensing.      d. diversification.

 

       The word “EXCEPT” should not be there.

       Which means there is not really a right answer.

 

       So if you had “a,” “b” or “d,” I would have adjusted your grade,

       The Scantrons have already given you credit if you picked “c.”

 

 

 

2002 PINK FORM      (I know this is red type, pink doesn’t show up well)

 

 30. The choices that a firm has for entering the international market

       include all of the following EXCEPT:

       a. factoring.        b. leasing.         c. licensing.      d. diversification.

       Which means there is not really a right answer.

37. Value chain activities include all of the following EXCEPT:

      a.  supply-chain management.

      b.  operations

      c.  management information systems.                                                                    

      d.  distribution.

 

       While “c” is the best answer, I not only mis-coded this answer as

       “b,” but the way I have drawn the value chain in my slides make it

       difficult to spot any right answer in this question.

3003 YELLOW FORM    (I know this is green, yellow doesn’t show up well)

 

  3. Value chain activities include all of the following EXCEPT:

      a. distribution.

      b. management information systems.                                                                   

      c.  supply-chain management.

      d. operations

 

       While “b” is the best answer, the way I’ve drawn the value chain

       in my slides make it hard to spot a right answer in this question.

 

       So if you had “a,” “c” or “d,” I would have adjusted your grade,

       The Scantrons have already given you credit if you picked “b.”

 

 

 

4004 WHITE FORM   (I know this is black type, white doesn’t show up well)

 

  38. Value chain activities include all of the following EXCEPT:

      a. distribution.

      b. management information systems.                                                                    

      c.  supply-chain management.
