Question. 1. Explain Hierarchical Organizational Structure.

Answer:Hierarchy is a way to structure an organization using different levels of authority and a vertical link, or chain of command, between superior and subordinate levels of the organization. Higher levels control lower levels of the hierarchy. You can think of an organizational hierarchy as a pyramid. The highest level of authority is at the top of the pyramid, and orders flow from this top level down to the next level where it continues to move on down until it reaches the level where the order is supposed to be carried out.


Question. 2. What are the factors influencing Project Management?

Answer:The methods and tactics applied for managing projects depend on the kind of project you deal with. The project structure, processes involved varies based on the kind of products or services you offer, and the market it is concerned with. For example, the project management tactics applied in a product manufacturing firm will be different from that of a construction firm.

Here is a look at a few factors that affect project management.

In other words software testing is a verification and validation process.

Verification: Verification is the process to make sure the


Question. 5. Mention different Software cost estimation methods.

Answer:Software projects are notorius for going past their deadline, going over budget, or both. The problem lies in the estimation of the amount of effort required for the development of a project. The cost estimation is usually dependent upon the size estimate of the project, which may use lines of code or function points as metrics. There are several different



Question. 6. Mention different features of a PERT chart.

Answer:A PERT chart is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. PERT stands for Program Evaluation Review Technique, a methodology developed by the U.S. Navy in the 1950s to manage the Polaris submarine missile program. A similar methodology, the Critical Path Method (CPM) was developed for project management in the private sector at about the same time.

Question. 1. “Globalization is defined as a concept which connects countries across the worldthrough information, trade and technology”. Critically explain the concept.

Answer:Globalization or globalisation (see spelling differences) is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture. Advances in transportation (such as the steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships) and in telecommunications infrastructure (including the rise of the telegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet, and mobile phones) have been major factors in globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities. Though many scholars place the origins of globalization in modern times, others trace its history long before the European Age of Discovery and voyages to the New World. Some even trace the origins to the third millennium BC. Large-scale globalization began in the 19th century. In


Question. 2. Compare the relationship between Current Account, Capital Account and OfficialReserve Account.Illustrate the concept of BoP Accounting.

Answer:Most countries of the world have their own national currency (a.k.a. domestic currency), which is used as money within the respective countries. Although all currency is money, most of the money of the world is actually stored as electronic information, such as savings and checking accounts, in the databases of banks. Nonetheless, this electronic information always expresses quantity in terms of a certain currency; therefore, hereinafter, we will use the term currency to designate all forms of money that are denominated in the currency.




Question. 3. Give introduction on foreign exchange. Elaborate on foreign exchange markets androle of international forex markets.

Answer:A financial market is a broad term describing any marketplace where buyers and sellers participate in the trade of assets such as equities, bonds, currencies and derivatives. Financial markets are typically defined by having transparent pricing, basic regulations on trading, costs and fees, and market forces determining the prices of securities that trade.

Financial markets can be found in nearly every nation in the world. Some are very small, with only a few participants, while others - like the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the forex markets - trade trillions of dollars daily.





Question. 4. Explain the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Give the comparison between AmericanDepository Receipt (ADR) and Global Depository Receipt (GDR). Write the categoriesfor trade blocs.

Answer:A foreign direct investment(FDI) is an investment in the form of a controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is thus distinguished from foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control.

The origin of the investment does not impact the definition as an FDI: the investment may be made either "inorganically" by buying a company in the target country or "organically" by expanding operations of an existing business in that country.





Question. 5. Write down the differences between GATT and WTO. Explain the problems andachievements of GATT & WTO.

Answer:The short answer is no. The WTO is the GATT plus a lot more. There have been eight rounds of trade negotiations since 1947. The first five rounds were of relatively short duration and dealt mainly with tariff reductions. The sixth, the Kermedy Round (1963-67), achieved deeper and wider tariff cuts, especially in industrial tariffs, and brought developing country concerns to the fore.

The seventh, the Tokyo Round, which lasted six years (1973 – 1979), cut tariffs substantially but also introduced a series of codes on non-tariff


Question. 6. Write the process of issuing letter of credit.
Describe the different types of letter of credit.

Answer:When you hear the phrase 'letter of credit,' it might be natural to think it refers to a document verifying that you are creditworthy, but that isn't the case. A letter of credit is a document issued by a third party that guarantees payment for goods or services when the seller provides acceptable documentation. Letters of credit are usually issued by banks or other financial institutions, but some creditworthy financial services companies, like insurance companies or mutual funds, might issue letters of credit under certain

Question. 1. “Self-awareness is the conscious recognition of one’s inner most feelings, thoughts,character, motives and desires”. Illustrate, citing the importance of Self-awareness.

Answer:Self-awareness (sometimes also referred to as self-knowledge or introspection) is about understanding your own needs, desires, failings, habits, and everything else that makes you tick. The more you know about yourself, the better you are at adapting life changes that suit your needs.

Of course, self-awareness is a big part of both therapy and philosophy. It's also the basis of the quantified self movement, which assumes that if you collect data about yourself you can make improvements based on that data. The New York Times breaks down the roots like so:

Self-awareness is the capacity for introspection and the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals.




Question. 2. Explain Heuristic Method and Catwoe Analysis as tools of problem solving.

Answer:The term “Heuristic” refers to Armstrong who was the exponent of this strategy. Pollion and Dankar (1945) called it “problem solving”. It is based on the psychological principles of "trial and error" theory. Logical and imaginative thinking are perquisites for his type of teaching strategy. It is an economical and speedy strategy.

Meaning of Heuristic Method of Teaching



Question. 3. Explain the concept of Time Management.
Give an analysis and diagnosis of the use of time.

Answer:The modern concept of time management - the act of planning the amount of time you spend on which activities - really began with Frederick Taylor's scientific management techniques. His goal was to increase worker productivity. To do this, he conducted time and motion studies and began to focus on the best ways for jobs to be performed to maximize the work completed in a given amount of time.

Why Manage Time?



Question. 4. Enumerate the factors affecting successful delegation.

Answer:Delegation is an art, not a science. So, there is no definite principle to follow for improving the skill of delegation. Manager will have to improve it only by experience.

The experience of many executives provides the foundation for these guiding factors explained below:

1. Determine goals:Assignments should be clearly defined in terms of goals or results expected. If the person is to accept the delegation enthusiastically, he should be provided with detailed information with emphasis that his work is both necessary




Question. 5. What are the techniques of managing a team ?
Explain the Broaden-and-Build Theory.

Answer:Management is essential in every walk of life. Even what we eat should be managed. You just can’t put anything in your mouth. One needs to be cautious. In the same way, a team must be managed effectively to expect the best from the team members. The team leader plays an essential role in managing his team well.

·       For effective team management, it is important that the team leader is more of a mentor to his team members rather than just being a



Question. 6. Illustrate the different channels of Communication.

Answer:Communication channels are the means through which people in an organization communicate. Thought must be given to what channels are used to complete various tasks, because using an inappropriate channel for a task or interaction can lead to negative consequences. Complex messages require richer channels of communication that facilitate interaction to ensure clarity.

Face-to-Face: Face-to-face or personal communication is one of the richest channels of communication that can be used within an organization. Physical presence, the tone of the speaker's voice and facial expressions help recipients of a

Question. 1. Explain the concept of technology forecasting? Write a brief note on different methods oftechnology forecasting.

Answer:Technology forecasting attempts to predict the future characteristics of useful technological machines, procedures or techniques.Primarily, a technological forecast deals with the characteristics of technology, such as levels of technical performance, like speed of a military aircraft, the power in watts of a particular future engine, the accuracy or precision of a measuring instrument, the number of transistors in a chip in the year 2015, etc. The forecast does not have to state how these characteristics will be achieved.

Secondly, technological forecasting usually deals




Question. 2. What is technology acquisition? Explain the two methods of technology acquisition.

Answer:Acquisition of technology and knowledge involves the purchase of external knowledge and technology without active co operation with the source. This external knowledge can be embodied in machinery or equipment that incorporates this knowledge. It can also include the hiring of employees who possess the new knowledge, or the use of contract research and consulting services. Disembodied technology or knowledge also includes other know-how, patents, licences, trademarks and software.

There are three types of technology acquisitions:




Question. 3. List and describe the different characteristics of the various stages in life cycle oftechnology.

Answer:The technology life-cycle (TLC) describes the commercial gain of a product through the expense of research and development phase, and the financial return during its "vital life". Some technologies, such as steel, paper or cement manufacturing, have a long lifespan (with minor variations in technology incorporated with time) while in other cases, such as electronic or pharmaceutical products, the lifespan may be quite short.

The TLC associated with a product or technological service is




Question. 4. a. List the different qualitative technology transfer models

Answer:Technology transfer from academic and scientific institutions has been transformed into a strategic variable for companies and nations who wish to cope with the challenges of a global economy. Since the early 1970s, many technology transfer models have tried to introduce key factors in the process. Previous studies have shown that technology transfer is influenced by various elements. This study is based on a review of two


b. Explain the Schile, Radnor, and Wad model in detail

Answer:It’s a model that seven elements could make an effect on the planning, implementation and eventual success of any technology transfer project. The seven elements are the transferor (the entity selling the technology to the recipient), the transferee (the entity buying the technology), the technology which is being transferred , the transfer mechanism which has been chosen to transfer the chosen technology, the transfer environment (the operating immediate set of conditions), the transferee environment (the operating immediate




Question. 5. a. Explain the different steps of Environmental impact analysis(EIA) process.

Answer:The EIA process makes sure that environmental issues are raised when a project or plan is first discussed and that all concerns are addressed as a project gains momentum through to implementation. Recommendations made by the EIA may necessitate the redesign of some project components, require further studies, suggest changes which alter the economic viability of the project or cause a delay in project implementation. To be of most benefit it is essential that an environmental assessment is carried out to determine


b. What are the various issues in the preparation of EIA Report?

Answer:An EIA report should be complete, easily understood, objective, factual and internally consistent. These objectives are difficult to achieve in a process that involves many contributors working to tight deadlines. Even so, far too many EIA reports fall short of meeting their basic purpose of providing the necessary and relevant information for decision-making and clearly communicating key findings to the public and other interested parties.

Higher standards could be achieved by addressing some



Question. 6. Briefly explain any four new technologies available in the present market. What are thedifferent aspects must be considered while implementing a new technology.

Question.2. What is of more value to the corporate world –basic, fundamental, or applied research? Justify your reasoning!

Answer:Fundamental research provides generally-applicable insights. For instance, the extinction risk criteria used to produce the IUCN Red List of threatened and endangered species are based in large part on fundamental, generally-applicable models of stochastic population dynamics developed by Russ Lande (Mace et al. 2008). Mace et al. (2008) discuss at length the reasons for this, which are not limited to lack of species-specific knowledge. But it is true that, if you lack detailed, system-specific knowledge, you do want general, broadly-applicable insights to be able to fall back on.


Question.3. Distinguish between secondary and primary methods of data collection. Is it possible to use secondary data methods as substitutes of primary methods? Justify your answer with suitable illustrations.

Answer:Primary data is raw information collected by researchers for a specific purpose. Secondary data is information obtained by studying the reports of other researchers.

When researchers conduct primary research, they are collecting data in response to a specific question, or in accordance with a specific objective. They may conduct surveys or focus groups. They may run experiments, or record direct

Question.4. What is a systematic sample? How is it selected? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a systematic sample?

Answer:As a statistical sampling method, systematic sampling is simpler and more straightforward than random sampling. It can also be more conducive to covering a wide study area. On the other hand, systematic sampling introduces certain arbitrary parameters in the data. This can cause over- or under-representation of particular patterns.

In recent years organizational diagnosis has evolved from a technique used as part of the organizational development process to a major technique in its own right.

Effective diagnosis should be an organic process in that


Question.4. What are the different stages of organizational development? Discuss T- Group Training as an intervention for organizational Development with an example.

Answer:Organization development (OD) is the study of successful organizational change and performance. OD emerged from human relations studies in the 1930s, during which psychologists realized that organizational structures and processes influence worker behavior and motivation. More recently, work on OD has expanded to focus on aligning organizations with their rapidly changing and complex environments through

Question.5. Describe and discuss the competencies required for a change agent.

Answer:A change agent is a person from inside or outside the organization who helps an organization transform itself by focusing on such matters as organizational effectiveness, improvement, and development. A change agent usually focuses his efforts on the effect of changing technologies, structures, and tasks on interpersonal and group relationships in the organization.
