A.  Definition of Organisational behavior

Organizational  Behavior  (OB)  is  the  study  and  application  of  knowledge about how people, individually  and groups  behave as individuals  as well as in  groups  in  the  organizations.  Its  main  purpose  is  to  build  better relationships  by  achieving  individual  objectives,  group  objectives, organizational objectives and at last, social objectives. Talcott Parsons  defines  organization as,  “a social unit which is deliberately constructed and reconstructed to seek specific goals.”

Importance of Organisational behaviour

Organizations  comprise  people  who  show differentiated behaviours. Dealing with such varied behaviors is an essential activity of managers. Therefore, organizational behaviour helps

2.  Explain the following:
a)  Span of Control
b)  Centralisation and Decentralisation


a) Span of Control

Span  of  control  –  this  is  also  known  as  the  span  of management/supervision.  Span  of  control  refers  to  the  maximum number of employees that can be supervised efficiently and effectively by a senior

There are two types of spans – narrow span of control and wide span of control.  In  a  narrow  span  of  control,  there  is  a  smaller  number  of subordinates  to be supervised by a  senior and hence, due to  a smaller number  of  subordinates  the  number  of  levels  in  the  organization  gets increased.  This  takes  the  shape  of  a  tall  organization.  On  the  other

Personality Traits influencing Organizational Behaviour

The  various  personality  traits  that  influence  the  behaviour  of  people  in organizations are:
Locus  of  Control  –  locus  of  control  is  of  two  types:  Internal  locus  of control and external locus of control. People with internal locus of control believe that what all happens in their life can be controlled by them and they are the masters of their destiny.  Whereas, the  people with  external locus  of  control  believe  that  whatever  happens  to  them  is  due  to  their destiny or luck. They give up everything very easily. Internals are more satisfied than externals as they establish a link between their efforts and performance. Externals are good for tasks that are challenging, complex and  unstructured;  they  motivate  others  and  grow  in  their  career

BBA108 – Business Environment

1. What are the constituents of the micro external factors in business environment?
External Micro Environment
The  external  microenvironment  consists  of  forces  that  are  part  of  an  organization's marketing process but are external to the organization. These  micro environmental forces include the  rganization's market, its producersuppliers,  and  its  marketing  intermediaries.  While  these  are  external,  the  organization is capable of exerting more influence over these than forces in  the macro environment.

Let us see the different External Factors that affect  the business environment.
Suppliers:  The suppliers supply  inputs like raw materials  and components  to  a  company.Suppliers  are  organizations  and  individuals  that  provide  the resources  needed  to  produce  goods  and

Q2.  What are the risks involved in doing business in India.
Business Risks
India is the largest democracy in the world and can boast of a pluralistic political scenario. Unlike America which has only two dominant political parties, India has a plethora of active political parties at the national as well as the regional levels. These parties with ideologies ranging from the extreme Left to the extreme Right have diverse political and economic agendas. At times the Government is unable to push through economic reforms because of political opposition as in the case of subsidies. The contradictions inherent in the political system in India can pose serious threats to the success of a business venture.

2. Write short notes on
a.  Drafting Questionnaire
b.  Quartile deviation
c.  Applications of Time Series Analysis
d.  Sampling and Non-Sampling Errors

a. Drafting Questionnaire

The  „questionnaire‟  is  a  proforma  containing  a  sequence  of  questions  relevant to a statistical enquiry.  Since the questionnaire is the only medium  of communication between the investigator and the respondents, it must be  designed  or  drafted  with  utmost  care  and  caution  so  that  all  relevant  and  essential information for the enquiry may be collected without any  difficulty,  ambiguity, and vagueness. Designing a questionnaire, therefore, requires a  high  degree  of  skill  and  experience  on  the  part  of  the  investigator. 

The  following points should be observed in drafting the questionnaire:

1)  The questionnaire should be  as short as possible. Many questions may  arise  during  an

Construct the Price Index taking 2010 as the base year and 2016 as the current year  by following methods.
i.  Laspeyre’s Price Index
ii.  Paasche’s Method
iii.  Dorbish and Bowley’s method
iv.  Fisher’s Ideal Index Method


Ans: 3 (a) Weighted index numbers

To meet  the weakness of the simple or unweighted method, we weigh the price of each commodity by a suitable factor;  often  it is  the quantity or the volume of the commodity sold during the base year.  In other words, in this method,  appropriate weights are assigned  to various commodities to reflect their relative importance in the group. The weight can be production figures, consumption figures or distributive figures.

SUBJECT CODE & NAME - BBA110 - COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS


1. With a neat diagram explain the architecture of a computer.

a. Computer Architecture

The computer architecture consists of Central Processing Unit (CPU), Input and Output units. The CPU is the brain of the computer and it performs all major  activities  that  take  place  within  the  computer.  In  the  block  diagram given the bold lines  represent the flow of data and the other lines represent the

2. a. What is main memory? What are the types of main memory?
b. What is secondary memory? Give examples.

a. Main Memory

The data and instruction required to perform an operation is first uniformly loaded on  to the primary memory. The central processing unit or the CPU accesses the primary memory for data and instruction in order to perform operation. It also acts as an interface between various other units and the CPU. RAM is a typical example of primary memory. Other than RAM there are two other additional layers of primary memory. These are CPU registers and the cache memory (internal and external cache). Registers are present within the processor and  provides faster data access. Caches are used for improving  the  performance  as  it  is  used  to  store  data  elements  that  are frequently used by the

3. Write short notes on the following:
a. Decimal Number System
b. Binary Number System
c. Octal Number System
d. Hexadecimal Number System


a. Decimal Number System

Decimal Number System.  The decimal number system is the primary number  system  which  we  use  everyday  while  counting  and  has  base ten. The name is derived from the Latin word ‘Decem’, which means ten. Each digit in a base ten number represents units ten times the units of the  digit  to  its  right.  In  a  decimal  number  system  each  position  of  the digit  is  represented  by  the  base  (radix)  value  raised  to  a  power.  The power  starts  at  0 for  the  leftmost  digit  and  it  increments  each  position that continues to the left.
