that its residents are very concerned with various forms of antisocial behaviour and minor crimes carried out by a
small number of people, which makes living, working, travelling and socialising in the city centre unpleasant rather
than life threatening. The city’s residents have recently voted for it being one of the five worst cities in the UK in which
to live. There is little or no contact between the police and these residents.
The city is split into a number of police districts, each with its own senior officer in charge. Their focus is on the
response to emergency calls and solving serious crimes in their district rather than the less urgent crimes affecting
everyday living in the city. Response times and serious crime solution rates are the traditional measures by which their
performance is measured and leave them open to criticism of simply reacting to events. There is little sense of being
part of a city police force and, consequently, little sharing of information and experience between the different districts.
The failure in policing antisocial behaviour in the city is seen as being largely the result of a shortage of resources.
There are also important internal and external groups varying in their support or resistance to any necessary change
in policing strategy. Key players include the mayor of the city anxious to improve the reputation of the city, the city’s
press, traditionally used to highlighting police failures rather than successes and finally the courts of justice, which
are reluctant to take on the increased workload that any moves towards reducing antisocial behaviour would produce.
John is aware of the complexity of the problem he faces in changing the way the city is policed to improve the quality
of life of its citizens. He has, however, an impressive track record as a change agent in previous appointments and is
confident that he can bring about the necessary change.
Required:
(a) Using change management models where appropriate, provide John with a brief report on the nature of
change needed in the way the city is policed in order to improve the city’s quality of life. (12 marks)

I had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”, whether I felt it or not. Once, while buying a ticket to Waterloo, I forgot to say “please”. The man at the counter was offended and would not give me the ticket until I had said “please”. When he handed me the ticket, he said “sorry”, and hurried inside to take the only empty seat.
On the way to the office one morning, a man collapsed in my compartment. At Waterloo, everybody left, but I stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and was an hour late getting to the office. I was told that it was not my job to look after strangers.
I found that many did not even look after their own parents who were old and helpless. In India, it is the duty of the children to look after their parent and old relatives. While serving a meal, my mother always gave food to the elderly relatives and children first and ate whatever was left over. The elderly never felt isolated. They lived with their families and contributed to the happiness of the house.

business specialising in the design and manufacture of precision engineering products. Its customers are major
industrial customers in the aerospace, automotive and chemical industries, many of which are globally recognised
companies. Lawson prides itself on the long-term relationships it has built up with these high profile customers. The
strength of these relationships is built on Lawson’s worldwide reputation for engineering excellence, which has
tangible recognition in its gaining prestigious international awards for product and process innovation and quality
performance. Lawson Engineering is a company name well known in its chosen international markets. Its reputation
has been enhanced by the awarding of a significant number of worldwide patents for the highly innovative products
it has designed. This in turn reflects the commitment to recruiting highly skilled engineers, facilitating positive staff
development and investing in significant research and development.
Its products command premium prices and are key to the superior performance of its customers’ products. Lawson
Engineering has also established long-term relationships with its main suppliers, particularly those making the exotic
materials built into their advanced products. Such relationships are crucial in research and development projects,
some of which take a number of years to come to fruition. Joe Lawson epitomises the ‘can do’ philosophy of the
company, always willing to take on the complex engineering challenges presented by his demanding customers.
Lawson Engineering now faces problems caused by its own success. Its current location, premises and facilities are
inadequate to allow the continued growth of the company. Joe is faced with the need to fund a new, expensive,
purpose-built facility on a new industrial estate. Although successful against a number of performance criteria, Lawson
Engineering’s performance against traditional financial measures has been relatively modest and unlikely to impress
the financial backers Joe wants to provide the necessary long-term capital.
Joe has become aware of the increasing attention paid to the intangible resources of a firm in a business. He
understands that you, as a strategy consultant, can advise him on the best way to show that his business should be
judged on the complete range of assets it possesses.
Required:
(a) Using models where appropriate, provide Joe with a resource analysis showing why the company’s intangible
resources and related capabilities should be taken into account when assessing Lawson Engineering’s case
for financial support. (12 marks)
Parenting is not an easy task. Becoming a parent is the easiest part, whereas, being a conscious and positive parent is a momentous task. Parenting is the most important role one faces in a lifetime. Parents who provide an encouraging environment for their children are rewarded when, as adults, their children realize a successful fit into the culture and society. Parenting concepts are deeply rooted in the majority of families in that country, because of a strong, sustained tradition of educating and training young parents to accept, perform. and establish enduring relationships and responsibilities with their children. Generally, the young mother is introduced to the nuances of parenting by way of the “hands on” method at her parental home, and under the guidance of her mother or an experienced family member. This practice could be the reason why the need for professional parent education usually is not expressed. Effective parenting enables children to build and develop positive behavior. and good, solid self-concepts that are important for functioning fully as a healthy adult. Parenting, as such, is greatly dependent on intra-familiar issues that play a significant role in parental performance. However, parenting skills can be strengthened if parents learn about themselves as a “parent” and about children’s development. Learning about the stages of human development helps parents understand about their ever changing roles in the lives of their children and also what is expected of a parent at each stage. Finally, a father’s love and influence is as important as a mother’s in the life of a child. Fathers should overcome the internal and external barriers that exist to fulfill the duties of fathering.
