Section B – TWO questions ONLY to be attempted
Forion Electronics (Forion) manufactures a range of electronic goods. Its business has grown rapidly over the last ten years and is now complex and international. Forion manufactures over 100 different products, selling into 25 different countries. There is a supplier base of over 200 companies from which Forion sources. As the business has become more complex, the board has found it difficult to pull together all the information that they require in order to make decisions.
The current information systems are developed in-house and are based in the functional departments (such as purchasing, manufacturing, warehousing and delivery, selling and marketing). The organisation uses the financial system as a means of bringing together information for an overview of corporate performance.
There have been a number of examples of problems encountered with information in Forion:
– there are inefficiencies arising from ordering the wrong amount of subcomponents;
– there are often stock-outs or obsolescence of unsold goods in the warehouses, although the marketing department prepares good sales forecasts; and
– sometimes, there are insufficient delivery vehicles available to meet customer deadlines.
The board of Forion believes the problems arise from poor information sharing within the company. They are considering the purchase of an enterprise resource planning system (ERPS) to be the single information system for the whole organisation.
Also, Forion is planning to launch a smartphone. However, in order to make it competitive they need to have high-visibility, durable screens. As the cost of screen development is considerable, it has been decided to form. a strategic alliance with a well-known screen manufacturer to provide this key component for the new smartphone. Bon Accord Screens (BAS) has been chosen as the strategic ally, as they have a strong reputation for their quality of manufacturing and new product development. BAS has been trying to break into the smartphone market for several years.
The alliance agreement has stipulated three critical areas of performance for BAS’ supply to Forion:
1. quality of manufacturing, measured by fault rates of screens supplied being within agreed tolerances (so that they fit Forion’s phone-bodies);
2. time of delivery, measured by the number of times a shipment is more than one day overdue; and
3. the ability to provide technical upgrades to the screens as the market demands.
The service level agreement (SLA) will be based on these three points and there will be financial penalties built into the agreement if BAS fails to meet these.
Required:
(a) Discuss the integration of information systems in an ERPS and how the ERPS may impact on performance management issues at Forion. (10 marks)
(b) Evaluate, from Forion’s viewpoint, the usefulness of the three critical areas in the alliance agreement for measuring the performance of BAS. (8 marks)
(c) Evaluate the relative reliability of financial and non-financial data from internal and external sources in the context of the alliance between Forion and BAS. (7 marks)

Mr Liu returned to the repair shop claiming compensation for the defect of the air conditioner. The repair shop insisted that it was not liable for the fire accident and the resulting damage to the car. In addition, after retrieval of the data from the local vehicles registration centre, the repair shop found that the registered owner of the car was still Mr Feng, not Mr Liu. Under such a situation it refused to discuss the dispute any more with Mr Liu, on the ground that he was not a legitimate owner of the car. When Mr Liu asked Mr Feng to negotiate with the repair shop, Mr Feng was reluctant to do so on the ground that the transaction between them was over since he had duly delivered the car to Mr Liu.

Shenhua Company Ltd (Shenhua) has been buying products from Kangyi Chemicals Company (Kangyi Chemicals) for more than one year. By the end of 2013, the two parties negotiated to settle the previous business transactions and confirmed that Shenhua owed an outstanding amount of RMB 800,000 yuan to Kangyi Chemicals.
Several days later, Shenhua entered into an agreement with its holding company, namely Shenhua Holdings, to transfer all its debts of RMB 800,000 yuan due. In doing so, Shenhua neither notified Kangyi Chemicals, nor got a consent from Kangyi Chemicals.
Having discovered this information, Kangyi Chemicals sent an email to Shenhua Holdings to inquire whether Shenhua’s debts had been transferred to Shenhua Holdings. Shenhua Holdings acknowledged the transfer but did not promise to settle the debts as a new debtor.
Kangyi Chemicals filed a lawsuit against Shenhua Holdings for the unsettled RMB 800,000 yuan. Shenhua Holdings submitted the following defences: First, the transfer agreement between Shenhua and Shenhua Holdings was an invalid one as Shenhua failed to get prior consent, as required by the law, from Kangyi Chemicals before the completion of transfer. Second, the goods delivered by Kangyi Chemicals in the last six months contained material defects which caused loss and damage to Shenhua as the original counterparty.
Required:
Answer the following questions in accordance with the Contract Law, and give your reasons for your answers:
(a) state whether the transfer agreement between Shenhua and Shenhua Holdings was a valid one; (6 marks)
(b) state whether Shenhua Holdings was entitled to submit its defence on the ground of the defects in the goods delivered by Kangyi Chemicals to Shenhua. (4 marks)

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature. Two Houses-Senate and House of Representatives make the laws. Before a bill may be sent to the President to sign, both houses must approve. When great agreement exists on a bill, the law moves quickly. However, most suggested laws are complex and relate to interests and conflicts which need debate and careful consideration.
Both houses of Congress use the committee system to handle the numerous bills. A bill is referred to the committee responsible for that category -- whether taxation, foreign affairs, housing or whatever. In the committee the bill is studied, arguments are collected for and against, and advice is gathered from experts on the subject. Citizens have the chance to influence legislation through the committee system. If the committee votes favorably, the bill goes before the entire house. Usually, committee approval means favorable action by the Senate and House of Representatives.
As a result, membership on the more important committees is eagerly sought. How long a senator or representative has served in Congress is most important in assigning committee memberships. Usually the majority political party receives a majority of the memberships of each committee. In this way the party controls decisions because the real work and power of Congress lies in the system of committees. Some people protest that this system restricts laws, but most see this as the system that works best.
By using the context and word part clues, we may conclude that "bicameral" means _______.
A.Republicans and Democrats
B.two Houses
C.congressional system
D.law making procedure
第10题
Although groups often may increase the motivation of their members to deal with problems, there is a counterbalancing need to contend with conflicts arising among members of a group-and to give it coherent directions. Problem solving is facilitated by the presence of an effective leader who not only provides direction but permits the orderly, constructive expression of a variety of opinions; much of the leader's effort may be devoted to resolving differences. Success in problem solving also depends on the distribution of ability within a group. Solutions simply may reflect the presence of an outstanding individual who might perform. even better by himself.
Although groups may reach a greater number of correct solutions, or may require less time to discover an answer, their net man-hour efficiency is typically lower than that achieved by skilled individuals working alone.
A process called brainstorming has been offered as a method of facilitating the production of new solutions to problems. In brainstorming, a problem is presented to a group of people who then proceed to offer whatever they can think of, regardless of quality and with as few inhibitions as possible. Theoretically these unrestricted suggestions increase the probability that at least some superior solutions will emerge. Nevertheless, studies show that when individuals work alone under similar conditions, performance tends to proceed more efficiently than it does in groups.
Under special circumstances, however, a group may solve problems more effectively than does a reason ably competent individual. Group members may contribute different (and essential) resources to a solution that no individual can readily achieve alone; such pooling of information and skills can make group achievements superior in dealing with selected problems. Sometimes social demands may require group agreement on a single alternative, as in formulating national economic or military policies under democratic governments. When only one among several alternative solutions is correct, even if a group requires more time, it has a higher probability of identifying the right one than does an individual alone.
In this passage, the author argues that thinking in groups ______.
A.is the best way to solve any problem
B.is by no means useful in problem-solving
C.may result in effective problem-solving under certain circumstances
D.will inevitably produce greater efficiency in problem solving than individual thinking
