BCS Exam MBP18 Topic 2 Question 17 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's MBP18 exam

Question #: 17
Topic #: 2

Furlow and Hall is an interior decorating business. Specializing in high-quality handmade soft furnishings and a best spoke design service. The business uses a small number of highly skilled craftspeople to make its products using traditional techniques.

Mrs Tieback, who sews the curtains for Furlow and Hall, is retiring later this year. Her local council has discovered that she has a workshop at her home and has informed her she is liable for business rates. This will lead to increased costs and so it is no longer economically viable for her to continue working.

Where would Mrs Tieback be shown on an organisational model of Furlow and Hall?

I hope Mrs Tieback can find a way to keep working, even with the increased business rates. Maybe she can start a GoFundMe to cover the costs - I'd be happy to chip in a few bucks for some handmade curtains!

I bet Mrs Tieback would be shown as a Freelancer or Consultant on the organizational model. She's not a full-time employee, but she's a skilled craftsperson who provides her services to Furlow and Hall on a contract basis.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'm going to go with Exhibit C, which shows Mrs Tieback as an External Stakeholder. She's not officially part of the company, but her work is essential to their operations.

I think Mrs Tieback would be shown as a Vendor or Contractor in the organizational model. She's an independent worker who provides a specific service to Furlow and Hall, rather than being an employee of the company.
