Q1. Meera’s family recently moved to Pune, and she wanted to buy a washing machine for their new home. Her decision-making process involved several steps. Initially, she identified the need after struggling with handwashing clothes. She began researching online, reading reviews, and watching videos comparing brands.

Influenced by her family’s preferences and the salesperson’s advice, Meera decided on a slightly costlier model that included advanced features and a sleek design.

• Concept of confidence interval for any estimate (Mean / Proportion). (2 Marks)

And solve the following question

A sample of 30 students’ test scores is randomly selected from a large class. The sample has a mean score of 85 points and a standard deviation of 6 points. Calculate the 99% and 95% confidence intervals for the population mean. (6 Marks)  

(10 Marks)

Ans 1.

Introduction

Estimation is a fundamental aspect of statistics used to draw inferences about population parameters based on sample data. In any study or research where it is impractical to gather information from every member of a population, estimation provides a practical alternative by allowing us to make educated guesses about the population based on a sample. There are two primary types of estimates: point estimates and interval estimates. A point estimate provides a single value as an estimate of a population parameter, while an interval estimate provides a range within which the parameter is expected to fall, offering a degree of confidence in the estimate. The concept of confidence intervals, which is part of interval estimation, allows

Q1: Jyoti, a seasoned marketing executive, was tasked with presenting a new product launch strategy to two very different audiences: the company’s senior management team and a group of young, tech-savvy consumers.

What factors must Jyoti keep in mind for controlling the style and tone for each of her audience? (10 Marks)

Ans 1.

Introduction

Effective communication is crucial for any marketing strategy, especially when addressing different target audiences. Jyoti, as an experienced marketing executive, must recognize that the senior management team and young, tech-savvy consumers represent two distinct groups, each with its own preferences, expectations, and communication styles. The senior management team is likely focused on strategic insights, financial implications, and business outcomes.

Q1: The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused significant disruptions to international business operations because numerous firms relied on suppliers from different nations, notably China. Many companies used lean production methods and kept low inventories in order to cut costs. However, this made them susceptible to supply chain interruptions. For instance, worldwide supply lines for electronics, including parts for laptops and cell phones, were impacted when lockdowns forced Chinese facilities to close. The fact that a large portion of auto parts were made in China presented difficulties for auto makers as well, resulting in major global production halts.

What impact would the COVID-19 worldwide lockdowns have on Europe’s supply curves for consumer electronics and auto factories? Explain your observations about the aforementioned scenario, emphasizing the supply side and the shift in the supply curve.
(Note: You can make assumptions as per the requirement of the case.)   (10 Marks)

Ans 1.

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains, particularly impacting industries heavily reliant on international suppliers, such as consumer electronics and the automotive sector. Europe, like many other regions, faced severe consequences as a result of lockdowns, especially in China, which is a major supplier of critical components. Lean production strategies, which emphasize minimal inventory to reduce costs, became a double-edged sword, leading to significant vulnerabilities when supply chains were interrupted. As a result, many European firms found themselves unable to source key parts, halting production and affecting availability in the market. This supply shock led to shifts in s

 

 

Q2 (A): The London “black cab” taxis are amongst some of the most expensive in the world. They compete to some extent with minicabs, which tend to be cheaper. However, minicabs are not allowed to pick up customers off the street; they have to be booked in advance, and their drivers do not have to memorize a London street map. Minicabs operate in a more competitive market and require less of the drivers. Black cab (licensed) cab drivers must pass a background check and medical test and pay fees over 200 pounds. This may help to ensure that passengers are safe and drivers are accountable, but it also means that they have a monopoly on picking up people on the streets. Elaborate on the given market structure (Black cabs and Minicabs) and discuss the implications for markets with high barriers to entry. (5 Marks)

Ans 2A.

Introduction

The London taxi market is an illustrative example of a market segmented by regulatory barriers, specifically in the contrast between “black cabs” and “minicabs.” Black cabs, known for their iconic appearance and premium rates, hold exclusive rights to pick up customers off the street, a privilege secured through strict licensing requirements. Minicabs, though cheaper and less regulated, cannot legally pick up street passengers without prior booking. This structure, highlighting the impact of regulatory and economic barriers, provides insights into competitive dynamics and consumer implications within markets with high entry barriers.

The distinct market structure of London’s black cabs and minicabs arises from different

Q1. Nisha, as a head of operations at a mid-sized manufacturing company, has a team that is diverse in both experience and motivation levels. The company has recently undergone a turnaround process, that has left some employees feeling insecure about their future roles. Nisha observes that some of her team members are highly motivated and consistently exceed their targets. A few others seem disengaged and often struggle to meet their goals.

As an OB expert, Nisha is considering different motivational strategies to improve team performance. She is aware that a one-size-fits-all approach may not work. Based on motivation theories (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Vroom’s Expectancy Theory), evaluate the possible reasons for the varying levels of motivation in Nisha’s team. Recommend strategies Nisha could implement to boost motivation across the team, considering both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. (10 Marks)

Ans 1.

Introduction

In the modern business environment, motivation plays a crucial role in achieving organizational success. For leaders like Nisha, managing a diverse team with varying levels of experience, skills, and motivation can be challenging, especially after a significant organizational change. Motivation is the driving force that encourages employees to meet their goals and contribute effectively to the organization. However, due to the recent turnaround process, some team members may feel insecure about their roles, which can impact their engagement levels. The disparity in motivation levels within Nisha’s team suggests that a single approach may not suffice. Utilizing well-established motivational theories such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Vroom’s Expectancy Theory, Nisha can develop a more tailored strategy that addresses each team member’s unique needs and motivations. By understanding these theories and applying them effectively, Nisha can foster a more motivated,

Q1: The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused significant disruptions to international
business operations because numerous firms relied on suppliers from different nations,
notably China. Many companies used lean production methods and kept low inventories
in order to cut costs. However, this made them susceptible to supply chain interruptions.
For instance, worldwide supply lines for electronics, including parts for laptops and cell
phones, were impacted when lockdowns forced Chinese facilities to close. The fact that a
large portion of auto parts were made in China presented difficulties for auto makers as
well, resulting in major global production halts.
What impact would the COVID-19 worldwide lockdowns have on Europe’s supply curves
for consumer electronics and auto factories? Explain your observations about the
aforementioned scenario, emphasizing the supply side and the shift in the supply curve.
(Note: You can make assumptions as per the requirement of the case.) (10 Marks)
Ans 1.
Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains,
particularly impacting industries heavily reliant on international suppliers, such as consumer
electronics and the automotive sector. Europe, like many other regions, faced severe
consequences as a result of lockdowns, especially in China, which is a major supplier of critical
components. Lean production strategies, which emphasize minimal inventory to reduce costs,
became a double-edged sword, leading to significant vulnerabilities when supply chains were
interrupted. As a result, many European firms found themselves unable to source key parts,
halting production and affecting availability in the market. This supply shock led to shifts in s
Q2 (A): The London “black cab” taxis are amongst some of the most expensive in the
world. They compete to some extent with minicabs, which tend to be cheaper. However,
minicabs are not allowed to pick up customers off the street; they have to be booked in
advance, and their drivers do not have to memorize a London street map. Minicabs
operate in a more competitive market and require less of the drivers. Black cab (licensed)
cab drivers must pass a background check and medical test and pay fees over 200 pounds.
This may help to ensure that passengers are safe and drivers are accountable, but it also
means that they have a monopoly on picking up people on the streets. Elaborate on the
given market structure (Black cabs and Minicabs) and discuss the implications for
markets with high barriers to entry. (5 Marks)

Introduction
Estimation is a fundamental aspect of statistics used to draw inferences about population
parameters based on sample data. In any study or research where it is impractical to gather
information from every member of a population, estimation provides a practical alternative by
allowing us to make educated guesses about the population based on a sample. There are two
primary types of estimates: point estimates and interval estimates. A point estimate provides a
single value as an estimate of a population parameter, while an interval estimate provides a
range within which the parameter is expected to fall, offering a degree of confidence in the
estimate. The concept of confidence intervals, which is part of interval estimation, allows

Q2 (A) The monthly rent paid by a group of 15,000 tenants in a city is found to be
normally distributed with a mean of ₹12,000 and a standard deviation of ₹1,500. Answer
the following questions:
a) What is the probability that a tenant selected at random pays more than ₹10,500 in
rent?
b) What is the probability that a tenant selected at random pays more than ₹14,700 in
rent?
(5 Marks)
Ans 2A.
Introduction
Probability distributions are essential in understanding data patterns, especially in large
datasets like monthly rents for tenants. In this case, rent data for 15,000 tenants follows a
normal distribution, with a mean of ₹12,000 and a standard deviation of ₹1,500. Understanding
how likely a particular rent is can provide insights into expected costs for tenants and property
managers. Here, we calculate the probabilities of rents being above certain values using
concepts from the normal distribution and Z-scores.
Concept and Application
A normal distribution, often called a bell curve, is a continuous probability distribution

accounting process. How does the relationship between these two elements ensure
accurate financial reporting? Support your answer with examples. (5 Marks)
Ans 1.
Introduction
In financial accounting, journal entries and ledger accounts are fundamental components that
form the backbone of the accounting process. Journal entries record business transactions in a
chronological manner, while ledger accounts categorize and summarize these transactions
based on specific accounts (e.g., cash, sales). Together, they provide a clear and structured
method to track a company’s financial activities, ensuring accurate and complete financial
reporting. Let’s explore their roles, differences, and how they work together to maintain the int

Q1: The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 caused significant disruptions to international
business operations because numerous firms relied on suppliers from different nations,
notably China. Many companies used lean production methods and kept low inventories
in order to cut costs. However, this made them susceptible to supply chain interruptions.
For instance, worldwide supply lines for electronics, including parts for laptops and cell
phones, were impacted when lockdowns forced Chinese facilities to close. The fact that a
large portion of auto parts were made in China presented difficulties for auto makers as
well, resulting in major global production halts.
What impact would the COVID-19 worldwide lockdowns have on Europe’s supply curves
for consumer electronics and auto factories? Explain your observations about the
aforementioned scenario, emphasizing the supply side and the shift in the supply curve.
(Note: You can make assumptions as per the requirement of the case.) (10 Marks)
Ans 1.
Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 created unprecedented disruptions in global supply chains,
particularly impacting industries heavily reliant on international suppliers, such as consumer
electronics and the automotive sector. Europe, like many other regions, faced severe
consequences as a result of lockdowns, especially in China, which is a major supplier of critical
components. Lean production strategies, which emphasize minimal inventory to reduce costs,
became a double-edged sword, leading to significant vulnerabilities when supply chains were
interrupted. As a result, many European firms found themselves unable to source key parts,
halting production and affecting availability in the market. This supply shock led to shifts in s
Q2 (A): The London “black cab” taxis are amongst some of the most expensive in the
world. They compete to some extent with minicabs, which tend to be cheaper. However,
minicabs are not allowed to pick up customers off the street; they have to be booked in
advance, and their drivers do not have to memorize a London street map. Minicabs
operate in a more competitive market and require less of the drivers. Black cab (licensed)
cab drivers must pass a background check and medical test and pay fees over 200 pounds.
This may help to ensure that passengers are safe and drivers are accountable, but it also
means that they have a monopoly on picking up people on the streets. Elaborate on the
given market structure (Black cabs and Minicabs) and discuss the implications for
markets with high barriers to entry. (5 Marks)
Ans 2A.
Introduction
The London taxi market is an illustrative example of a market segmented by regulatory barriers,
specifically in the contrast between “black cabs” and “minicabs.” Black cabs, known for their
iconic appearance and premium rates, hold exclusive rights to pick up customers off the street,
a privilege secured through strict licensing requirements. Minicabs, though cheaper and less
regulated, cannot legally pick up street passengers without prior booking. This structure,
highlighting the impact of regulatory and economic barriers, provides insights into competitive
dynamics and consumer implications within markets with high entry barriers.

Dec 2024 Examination
Q1. Nisha, as a head of operations at a mid-sized manufacturing company, has a team
that is diverse in both experience and motivation levels. The company has recently
undergone a turnaround process, that has left some employees feeling insecure about
their future roles. Nisha observes that some of her team members are highly motivated
and consistently exceed their targets. A few others seem disengaged and often struggle to
meet their goals.
As an OB expert, Nisha is considering different motivational strategies to improve team
performance. She is aware that a one-size-fits-all approach may not work. Based on
motivation theories (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and
Vroom’s Expectancy Theory), evaluate the possible reasons for the varying levels of
motivation in Nisha’s team. Recommend strategies Nisha could implement to boost
motivation across the team, considering both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. (10
Marks)
Ans 1.
Introduction
In the modern business environment, motivation plays a crucial role in achieving organizational
success. For leaders like Nisha, managing a diverse team with varying levels of experience,
skills, and motivation can be challenging, especially after a significant organizational change.
Motivation is the driving force that encourages employees to meet their goals and contribute
effectively to the organization. However, due to the recent turnaround process, some team
members may feel insecure about their roles, which can impact their engagement levels. The
disparity in motivation levels within Nisha’s team suggests that a single approach may not
suffice. Utilizing well-established motivational theories such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs,
Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, and Vroom’s Expectancy Theory, Nisha can develop a more
tailored strategy that addresses each team member’s unique needs and motivations. By
understanding these theories and applying them effectively, Nisha can foster a more motivated,

Introduction
Estimation is a fundamental aspect of statistics used to draw inferences about population
parameters based on sample data. In any study or research where it is impractical to gather
information from every member of a population, estimation provides a practical alternative by
allowing us to make educated guesses about the population based on a sample. There are two
primary types of estimates: point estimates and interval estimates. A point estimate provides a
single value as an estimate of a population parameter, while an interval estimate provides a
range within which the parameter is expected to fall, offering a degree of confidence in the
estimate. The concept of confidence intervals, which is part of interval estimation, allows

Q2 (A) The monthly rent paid by a group of 15,000 tenants in a city is found to be
normally distributed with a mean of ₹12,000 and a standard deviation of ₹1,500. Answer
the following questions:
a) What is the probability that a tenant selected at random pays more than ₹10,500 in
rent?
b) What is the probability that a tenant selected at random pays more than ₹14,700 in
rent?
(5 Marks)
Ans 2A.
Introduction
Probability distributions are essential in understanding data patterns, especially in large
datasets like monthly rents for tenants. In this case, rent data for 15,000 tenants follows a
normal distribution, with a mean of ₹12,000 and a standard deviation of ₹1,500. Understanding
how likely a particular rent is can provide insights into expected costs for tenants and property
managers. Here, we calculate the probabilities of rents being above certain values using
concepts from the normal distribution and Z-scores.

Q1. MediSyringe Pvt. Ltd., a startup in the healthcare sector, manufactures highquality
injection syringes. Founded by Mr. Rajesh Sharma, the company has many
experienced senior executives overseeing various functions like production, quality,
marketing, and finance. Despite its early success, MediSyringe faces challenges due to a
lack of effective delegation.
Key decisions and tasks are concentrated at the top, with Mr. Sharma often taking on
responsibilities himself or assigning them directly to senior managers. This has led to
delays, lowered employee morale, and frustration, as team members feel they lack the
authority to make decisions or take initiative. Recently, a crucial project was delayed
due to Mr. Sharma’s involvement in minor tasks, resulting
in a lost opportunity with a major client. This is one incident that highlights the need
for Mr. Sharma to delegate more effectively, empowering his team, fostering
innovation, and enhancing productivity. However, barriers such as reluctance to trust
the team and fear of losing control must be addressed to improve organizational
efficiency.
In the situation, evaluate the importance of delegation in management and how it can
be effectively applied in the injection syringe manufacturing startup by Mr. Sharma,
with a top- heavy team and low levels of delegation. Identify potential barriers to
delegation in this scenario and suggest appropriate strategies to overcome them. (10

Introduction
Delegation is a fundamental management principle that ensures efficient task distribution and
resource utilization within an organization. It involves assigning responsibility and authority
to subordinates to perform specific activities while the manager retains accountability. For
startups like MediSyringe Pvt. Ltd., operating in the competitive healthcare sector, effective
delegation is critical for fostering growth, innovation, and team morale. Despite its early
success, MediSyringe is hampered by a lack of effective delegation, with decision-making
heavily concentrated at the top. This centralized approach leads to delays, missed
opportunities, and low employee engagement, as demonstrated by the loss of a major client
due to Mr. Rajesh Sharma’s involvement in minor tasks. Addressing these challenges

Q2(A) Flipkart, India’s leading e-commerce marketplace, is preparing for its flagship
event, The Big Billion Days (TBBD) 2024, by significantly expanding its supply chain
capabilities. With the launch of 11 new fulfillment centers (FCs) across nine cities,
Flipkart’s total FC count has increased to 83, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency
and speeding up deliveries. This expansion is set to create over 1 lakh new jobs,
reflecting Flipkart’s commitment to socio- economic development.
However, such rapid expansion also presents challenges. The strategic decision to open
new FCs involves a complex planning process that requires careful consideration of
several factors, such as location selection, investment in technology, and workforce
management. The decision-making process must balance the anticipated surge in
demand during TBBD 2024 with the potential risks of overcapacity, increased
operational costs, and supply chain disruptions.
Despite leveraging innovative technologies, including automated warehouses and datadriven
decision-making, Flipkart faces limitations in its planning. Factors like unpredictable
consumer demand, high costs of technology adoption, and potential delays in
implementation can affect the effectiveness of its strategy. As Flipkart navigates these
challenges, it needs to make informed decisions to maintain high product availability
and ensure a superior shopping experience during the festive season.
