Important Notice — Academic Integrity & Honest Use
This pack is a study and revision aid designed to help you understand the theory of Strategy
Implementation and Control and to model how high-quality, application-based answers are
constructed. It is not a substitute for studying the prescribed book and the Study Guide.
UNISA examination instructions for MNG3702 expressly state that AI-generated answers,
paraphrased AI-generated answers, copied internet content, and answers similar to other
students’ work will not be marked. Use the model answers here to learn the method and the
theory, then write your own examination answers in your own words, in your own voice, with
your own application. Submitting any part of this pack verbatim risks a zero mark and a
misconduct finding.
Welcome — Read This First
Dear Student,
Thank you for investing in your success. Welcome to your MNG3702 Strategy Implementation
and Control examination preparation journey. By choosing this pack you have already done
something that most students who struggle with this module never do: you have decided to
prepare strategically rather than hope to pass by luck on the day.
MNG3702 is not a memorisation module. It is an application module assessed at NQF Level
7, which means the examiner is far less interested in whether you can recite a definition than in
whether you can take a theory, hold it up against a real organisation in a case study, and say
something intelligent about what the facts mean and what the company should do. Students who
treat this module like a list of definitions to learn off by heart are exactly the students who are
surprised by their marks. This pack is built around that single, decisive insight.
Everything here has been designed to address the specific reasons students lose marks in
MNG3702: confusing strategy formation with implementation, listing theory without applying it,
ignoring the case study, missing command words, and running out of time. We have organised
the material so that you build the theory first (Section A), then watch that theory turned into full,
mark-earning answers on real past papers (Section B), and finally sharpen your examination craft
(the How to Pass guide).
How this pack will change the way you write answers
You will learn to recognise command words and answer the question that was actually asked.
You will internalise the Fact → Meaning → Concept → Implication → Recommendation
structure that distinguishes a pass from a distinction. You will practise pulling evidence out of
a case study and tying it directly to a model. You will work through fresh, exam-style mini case
studies in every lesson, so that by the time you sit the real paper, applying theory to an unseen

organisation feels automatic. And you will see exactly where marks are awarded, so you can
write efficiently and never leave easy marks on the table.
Approach your preparation with discipline and confidence. Work through one lesson a day,
attempt the practice activities and case studies before you read the model answers, and treat the
past papers as timed mock examinations. If you commit to the process, you will walk into the
examination room knowing not only the content, but how to convert that content into marks. You
can do this — and we are proud to be your partners in getting it done.
Warm regards,
