this is the first week after Easter Holiday, as mentioned before, i did not have holiday...
On this Monday, i had two assessments, an assignment, this was a group assignment, but we did not sure what we wrote about, especially in Portor's part. in this semester, i have three subjects all learned about Porter's five analysis. what an odd...and the same subject, i had a presentation, just 10 mins, but i was so nervous, i did not know why. i had notes in my hand, but i did not use that...but overall, i thought my presentation was fine, i will know my marks next Monday, i hope not bad, Hoho
Tuesday was fine, just normal lecture and tutorial, but next Tuesday, another presetation is coming...
Today, in the morning, MGX 9230, i have not finished that assignment, but the teacher said the deadline is next Monday, that's cool. Jeffrey is the teacher of MGX 9230, he is really nice. :)
tonight, a test, AFF 5100, it was really easier than i excepted. i spent less time to prepare this exam, because i think it just worth 10 marks, but i did answer all the question, i hope i can get 7 or something, wish me luck. and next Thursday... another presentation...so many presentations...
another news from China, China attacted from earthquake again, in Qinghai...i do not know the details...sorry for that... recently, so many earthquakes...and some people said 2012 is really coming... well, i do not know again...i hope everything is fine in China...when there is terrible thing happen, there always with donates, well , in some forums in China, people always want the Government can publish the donates funds in public, so that people can know how their donate spent. but, in fact, i do not know the details. but i rarely heard the Government put the details of the donate funds...transparency...transparency...
24, an American TV show, almost finishs, and some people said this will be the last season...this is really a good TV show, really...i hope there will be season 9.

long break
middle break is comming, but i do not think it is really a break for me. so many assignments are due on week 6. there are about 4 assignments, i think.
among those assignments, i think the marketing assignment is the most easy one. there are only 2000, and that is a group assignment. but so far, i have worked for it for 1 and half days, only finished few of it.
and i almost finished my presentation of MKX 9550, but it still needs to be motified.
there is a small test, AFF 5100, that maybe hard, it just worths 10 marks, but needs a lot of reading.
the most huge one is MGX 9230, 3500 words, and i have no clue so far. the first thing i need to do is find a relative case. i will work on it after i finish MKX 9550
Daylight saving will be end at tonight. i can sleep one more hour tonight. LOL. but i do sleep a lot recently, maybe 10 hours. that is not a good news for me.
oh, the important thing is yesterday was good friday, and tomorrow is Easter day. and that is why we have middle break. when i was in VU, there were two weeks middle break in April, but in Monash, only one week. what a pity. i do need more break. i do not know why there is an Easter day, but i do know that's a religion festival. once, i watch South Park, it talked about Easter day, but i think that cartoon made fun of Easter day, but the fact. anyway, because of Easter day, i have long break, actually not too long.
i just remeber one thing, last week, on the tutorial of AFF 5050, i had a presentation, a group presentation, it just worthed 5 marks, but the whole presentation took 1 hour. so long. the presentation was about tutorial question, and the tutor said we did very good, almost all the answers were correct.
a news from real world, Australian government wants google blocked some results of research, but google refused. well, we will see what happen
anyway, happy Easter Day.

last week (2)
the last class of each week is AFF5100.
in last week, at the beginning of the class, it took about 10 mins to review the content of week 3. then talked about the organisational structure. there are three types of structures- functional structure, divisional struture, matrix structure. matrix structure is the most complex one, the teacher said in the hospital system, the matrix stucture is very common. and in the slide, it uses a phrase- span of, i do not know what's this mean... then go the content of textbook, in the chapter 6, it stated designing and evaluating control systems. and involoved in so many kinds of control, such as result control, action control. so far, i have not figure out what's the real meaning of these control, i need to "organise" these concepts later. then go to chapter 7. talked about some centres such as cost centre, profit centre, these were not new concepts, we learned those when we learned management accounting. this time, it focus on transfer pricing. then chapter 8, planing and budgeting. not so much content. in the second half of the class, it talked about the case- ARMCO Inc. because this is the first time we conducted the case study in this unit, the teacher just asked some easy questions, not too hard. but he said that he would ask some hard questions in the future case study. the case study is not important, in the fact, i can not recall so many about the case. and i could not understand what is "cost above measure". maybe search it later. the most remarkable thing is that the teacher introduced a new system- random system, that is a website, maybe random system. org or something, by using this system, the teacher can decide which student to answer the questions. the teacher claims that this system is fair for us. well, i do not know.
now, it is Thursday again, 10 hours later, i will have MGX 9230 again, well, wish me luck.

last week
12 hours class in last week as usual, 4 units.
first one is MKX 9550. it stated a very important concept- Porter analysis. it will be shown on final exam, according to the teacher. in the lecture, it started with a video- google video. it introduced google adword, google adsense and Youtube. maybe most of people do not know that Youtube belong to Google. in some year, i could not remember, Google acquired Youtube. i have a Youtube account, i applied it in 2006 in China, but now you can not open Youtube in China in normal way, also you can not open Blogspot in almost places of China. in some news it said that Google will withdraw from China in April 10th. i do not know whether it correct, but i really not know what's the concequence of Google action. after that introduced some industry concept of competition. there are four forms of competition forms. Pure monoply, oligopoly, monopolistic competition and pure competition. the teacher said Australian Post is an example of pure monopoly in OZ, but i do not think so, besides Post, there are also other companies conduct post, such as TOLL. but the teacher said Post is the only one non-financial organisation which can deal with financial services. i think that is ture. and pure monopoly offen refers to regulation market. then go into Porter's five forces- industry competetion. potential entrants, substitutes, suppliers and buyers. and coincidentally, in AFF 5130 it also refers to this concept. after that, introduced some reletive concepts.at the end of lecture, it said something about global marketing, it refers to the assessment. a global firm is one that operates in more than one country and captures R and D, production, logistical, marketing, and financial advantages in its costs and reputation that are not available to purely domestic competitors. i think global firm is quite common now. then important concept- five models of entry into foreign market- indircet exporting, direct exporting, licensing, joint ventures and direct investment. licensing here means let other company to product your companies' product. in the tutorial of MKX 9550, just the presentation. and tutor stated the requirements of assignemnt again.
on Tuesday, AFF 5130. in this time, the female teacher teached in the lecture, i did not know why, because i was late for the class. in that lecture, a few questions were focused- why is industry analysis important, porter's 5 forces, competitive strategy analysis and corporate strategy analysis. there are three parts in strategy analysis- industry choice, competitive positioning and corporate strategy. in the industry choice part, it just about the Porters 5 forces. but it states in a different way- 1. rivalry between existing organisations. 2 threat of entry of new organisations. 3 threat of substiture porducts. 4. bargaining power of buyers. 5. bargaining power of suppliers. the first 3 forces determine the potential for profits, and actual profits depends on the last 2 forces. in the competitive positioning part, there are two generic competive strategies- cost leadership and differentiation. in the last part, it relevant to multi-business organisations. in the tutorial of AFF 5130. it just talked about the tutorial questions. and i noticed that the teacher post the tutorial question's answer on the Blackborad, that is good.
two classes on Thursday. MGX 9230, this time it relate to the assignment, but i have no idea about it. what a pity.it talked about policy cycle and seems not too hard, but i do not know how to start the assignment, where to pick up the case. that is the case...
the AFF 5100 is the last class in each class, but the most horrible one. the teacher requires a lot of reading before each class. for him, he thinks there are not a lot of reading, but for me, that really a lot. we are not English-spoken students, he will never figure out. we can not remember all stuff we read. what should i say. ai. in the first half of that class, it said something organisation structure.

not a happy day
i hope i could be happy every day, but this is an imperfect world, i am not happy today. i think i am not lucky today.
the first class is MGX 9230, i planed listening carefully this class, so i sit in the first row, just oppostie the desk of teacher. but after the class began, i felt so so so tired, i wanted to sleep, but i can not, because i just faced to the teacher. OMG, i think everyone can imagine this, want to sleep, but can not. i was so daez in the first half of the lecture, i am not sure what teacher teached, but according to the lecture, it seems not so hard. i am not quite sure. and the bad news is i just review the lecture notes, and can recall nothing. i had a nap during the break. and felt better when i got up. the teacher talked about the assignemnt, that is i really care about, and then teacher said blah blah blah, i can not remeber...but the most important sensenses were: there is not one way to fail this unit, that is u hand in nothing ... i am so happy to hear that. UH OH. after that, a case study was conducted, i did not read the case previously, i was so lost in the second half of lecture...what a pity...
about AFF 5100, the tragedy repeated. i do not want to recall it. but i still learn one thing, i do need to watch the book before the lecture.
OK, so much for today...i need to study harder and harder...

MGX9230 & AFF5100 (2)
yesterday was a remarkable day, a huge hailstone hit Melbounre. some people said that it was the biggest hailstone in recent 10 years in Melbourne, i do not know whether it was correct, but i did know that the rain was really huge. it was a long day for me yesterday, because of the labour day on 8 March, the train did not opera between Pakeham and Oakleigh, alternatively there was a bus running between these two stop. but i did not know this infomation before i went to the train stop. but after 10 or more minutes waiting, i saw the announcement, and went to the bus stop. just 2 minutes after i entered the bus, the hailstone was comming, it was really terrible. the hailstone hit the bus, fortunately the bus is strong enough, nobody hurt in the bus. then i changed the train at Oakleigh station. usually, it needs 30 or 35 minutes from Oakleigh to City, but it took me 90 or more minutes to do that, i did not know what happen , but the train stop at Toorak for a long time, and the train drive told the passenger to change the train. anyway i got city. but when i went home, i check the website, it stated that the South Cross Station was damage in the hailstone, the roof collapsed, OMG, i hope no one get hurt. but the South Cross Station is cost billions to build it, it can not withstand the hailstone? it is a quesion. and today, in the moring and afternoon, the weather is good, but about 7pm, it is raining again with thunder. i hope no hailstone this time.
OK, about AFF 5100. the lecturer is pretty strict, maybe he is the strictest teacher i have met. in the first lecture he introduced himself for a long time, maybe 30 minutes, i guess. he said he did not have PHD, but he had a lot experience in mangement company, he was CEO or CFO in several industries. he also said that he loves teaching, so he teaches, not about money. he also stated some rules of his class such as forbid using phone in class. anyway, it was not important. and about the assignment, there are two group assignment in this unit, but unlike other units, we can not make the group by ourselves, he makes the group for us. UH HA. i do not know what to say.
go to the content of this unit. the name of this unit is advanced strategic management accouting. i thought it was managment accouning, but i was wrong. this unit does about managment accounting, but not the traditional managemnt accounting, it is about strategic management accouting. traditional management accouting is about budget or something like that, it focused on the internal factors of the firm. but strategic managemtn accouting focuses on not only inside of the firm, but also outside. he also introduced some concepts of SMA, but i have not got the lecture notes yet, so i can not state here. and as stated in the unit outline, this unit needs a lot of case study. OK...i figure that most all the unit i study this study is about case study. a lot of reading i guess, wish me luck~~~
there is no stop sign for raining.... the thunder costs me a light already...

MGX9230 & AFF5100 (1)
i had two class in thursday, one is from 11 to 2pm, and other is 6pm to 9pm. the arrangment of time is not so good, there are 4 hours between these two classes. and the second class begins at 6pm, so i have to have the supper at 5pm or 5:30pm. consequently, when i go home, at 10 pm ish, i feel hungry. because i can not eat so much at 5 pm or 5:30, i am not feel hungry at that time. more important, there is limit choices for me to have dinner. around the campus, there are few restaurants. some Chinese, maybe 3 or 4, but i never have meal there, because they look like not very delicious. also there are some pizza restaurants, i ate once, but not so good. also, there is one Korean restaurant, i have been there a lot of times, not so bad, but a little dear than Chinese restaurant. this thursday, i bought KFC near campus. a burger meal at 5:30pm, but i was very hungry at 10 ish.
OK, go back to study issue.
the first class in thursday is MGX 9230-public policy, of course, this unit has nothing to do with accounting, i choose it because it has no final exam, but there are two huge assignemnt, i am not sure whether i have mentioned it before. anyway, about the course, there are few students enrolled in this unit, i do not know why, but this is the core unit of some management program, i guess few students enroll in that program. there were less than 30 people attend that class, and most of them or maybe half of them are muture students. and at first the teacher introduced himself, his name is Jeff Keddie, PHD, the most impression thing is that he is the consultant of Victoran government. he is also MAV and AAV, but i have no idea about them. after that the students introduced themselves. and not so many international students, few from China, and there are some from Indonesia. after that the formal class began, the first class just talked about some few concepts in the unit. and the scope of this unit. basically, this unit is based on the case study. i do not understand why australian education so interest in case study. i do not know why case study is so important. and the teacher aslo said that maybe some cases were hard for us, but did not fear about them, just read them as a strody. luckily, there is no final exam, so i do not need to remember these cases or concepts. and in the seminar, the teacher did not finish all the content in the lecture notes, maybe he will talk about in the next seminar. so far, i have not known choosing this unit is right or wrong, but i hope i am right.
about AFF 5100, i will talk about it in the next post.
