| sumit | Re: TANCET MBA Solved question papers Here I am giving you the MBA question paper of the Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test Directions for questions 1 – 20: This section comprises two passages. After each passage questions consisting of items relating to the preceding passage are given. Evaluate each item separately in terms of the respective passage and choose your answer PASSAGE – I (Questions 1 – 10) The Shop-O-shelf Company's supermarkets are situated in Bangalore, Coimbatore and Vellore. The company is dynamic and aggressive having grown from 8 stores ten years ago to 26 today. Kanchipuram is a town 60 miles from Vellore. It has not shown the spectacular growth of other suburbs, but its population has increased from around 56,000 to 1, 30,000 in the past decade. With no other Shop-O-Self supermarket within 20 miles of the area, Shop-O-Self Company is considering opening a store in Kanchipuram. The Arguments against: some Shop-O-Self executives oppose the project as a poor risk. They point to the proposed site, which is in a shopping centre three miles from Kanchipuram business district. Two other food chains have failed on this site because they claim; most new residences are on the other side of the community. Moreover, the shopping centre owners demand a five year lease. Shop-O-Self would have to try to find another business to take over the lease should its own store fail before the end of that time. If a Shop-O-Self market must be opened in Kanchipuram, it would be far better, these executives argue, to build it in the heart of the community. But they point out, another supermarket is already there. The Arguments for: The Majority of the executives maintain that the site has great potential. A new east-west highway is being built which will pass Kanchipuram to the north and force the car commuters to Kanchipuram to pass by the shopping centre. A housing project of 3, 000 units is going to be constructed nearby. The average household is expected to consist of five people with over Rs. 30,000 of income to dispose of annually. They also argue that the centre of Kanchipuram is now congested with traffic and has extremely poor parking facilities, while there is excellent parking in the shopping centre. Investment in a new building in Kanchipuram, proper than a five year lease should the store fail. They are not too concerned about the other supermarket in Kanchipuram. There is enough business for both. Besides, the competitor's prices are higher than shop-o-self. They also discount past supermarket failures in the shopping certre. They claim these were caused more by poor management than by the shopping centre's being slightly off the beaten path. The Decision: The board of directors listens to both sides and then votes to open a Shop-o-self store at the Kanchipuram shopping centre. 1. The residents at the projected residential development will shop in the Kanchipuram store (a) If the item is a Major Objective in making the decision: that is, the outcome or result sought by the decision maker (b) If the item is a Major Factor in arriving at the decision; that is consideration, explicity mentioned in the passage that is basic in determining the decision (c) If the item is a Minor Factor in making the decision: a less important element bearing on or affecting a Major Factor, rather than a Major Objective directly. (d) If the item is a Major Assumption made deliberately; that is a supposition or projection made by the decision maker before considering the factors and alternatives. (e) If the item is an unimportant issue in getting to the point; that is a factor that is insignificant or not immediately relevant to the situation. 2. Poor management causing past supermarket failures. (a) If the item is a Major Objective in making the decision: that is, the outcome or result sought by the decision maker. (b) If the item is a Major Factor in arriving at the decision; that is consideration, explicity mentioned in the passage that is basic in determining the decision. (c) If the item is a Minor Factor in making the decision: a less important element bearing on or affecting a Major Factor, rather than a Major Objective directly. (d) If the item is a Major Assumption made deliberately; that is a supposition or projection made by the decision maker before considering the factors and alternatives. (e) If the item is an unimportant issue in getting to the point; that is a factor that is insignificant or not immediately relevant to the situation TANCET MBA entrance exam paper |
