Here's the question:

After looking at the sample answers, asking for HR strategies was hella misleading. They just pulled some knowledge from the other sections of HR and bullshitted the answer.

In the event I'm tripping out and derped it, where do the above mentioned directly link to the strategy section of HR?

(I) Job design - re-design jobs as a reduction in the workforce of the firm will mean less people to do equal work.
(II) Global - (IT specialists) outsource to a country which can provide this function for less money and still have the skills e.g. India.

Yeah, I see no key words from the strategies component. That would probably work too, but the one's I did I think far better suit it.

Run it by your teacher maybe?

sample answers are retarded, don't worry about them. Go by the syllabus.

lol do the markers actually use them as reference?
Hmm I'm not sure, but even if they do and your answer is still legit in a sense and satisfies the marking criteria, you would get full marks. It's Business Studies bro, relax :)

If in doubt it gets run by a head marker. Was that an HSC question or something? If so that suggested response is heaps weird.. I guess if that's a suggested response than something else fairly creative, even it it's not explicitly in the HRM syllabus under strategies would work. Although I personally would stick to the strategies defined by the syllabus.
