Strategic Planning
1. Description of the construction business
At BSBH, we provide preeminent construction, technical and management services. Our owner
each have been in the construction industry for 10 years that has an working experience in all
types of building including low rise, high rise, bridges and many more.
2. Evaluating company current situation
In BSBH, we analyst last year's results and determine which of the products, markets, divisions
or business segments contributed the most revenue. Also review which ones were the most
profitable. Evaluate areas in which the company excelled and areas where it fell short of
achieving the expected results.
4. Identifying our construction business’ major competitors
UEM Group, YTL Corporation, IJM Corporation and Gamuda are the leading construction
company in Malaysia. They are the competitors for our company in terms of familiar of their
names in the industry, total assets and shareholders’ funds that are billions. To compete with
these competitors, our company uses strong project management skills, a diversified array of
projects and expertise we have to create trust for customer. In long term, we will eventually see
results that will increase our assets and shareholder fund.

SWOT Analysis

19. 19
Organizational Culture
In our company, we seek to promote our employees to embody our company values and build a
strong relationship between each other in the company. As we want to develop our employees to
feel safe and comfortable with their working environment as we believe by using this method,
employees would be more productive and efficient with their work.
To accomplish this, we first start off with the comfort of the employee by rectifying the
surrounding environment. Our company utilize the open space concept by removing restricted
cubicles to obtain open spaces for the employee to communicate and socialise. This allows the
employees to be more interactive with other employees around the office and encourages more
group discussion with one and another. Aside from that, our company also prepares weekly team
night by having the employees hang out and interact with other departments. Through these
activities, the employees would be able to know their colleagues more and break their barrier
with each other, indirectly enhancing their efficiency and transparency between each other.
At the same time, our company also focuses on the performance and efficiency of each of our
employee. To achieve this, we will provide awards and achievement based on group
achievements rather than individual achievement since our company is promoting strong team
relationship. This would encourage the employees to be more cooperative and be highly
achievement driven hence, improving productivity.
All this method leads to our company being able to adopt the open concept as we aim to flatten
the organizational structure, while promoting strong communication between each department.
Making it easier for employees to approach each other and allowing employees to monitor
other’s progress. This facilitates communication between each other and allowing information to
be transmitted effectively and efficiently.

Interview Activity 1: In-Tray Exercise
Introduction to In-Tray Exercise
In-tray exercise is a business simulation that is used as part of an assessment where the
interviewee plays the role as a member or staff who has to deal with the daily tasks of the
company. A selection of documents like letters, emails and reports in the form of papers or
electronic format will be given to the interviewee. These documents are the first thing that a
working staff might find in their in-tray or email inbox daily. Hence, it is important to determine
the priorities among all documents before reporting to the top managements. In order to do so,
the interviewee has to read through each item and allocate the priorities before taking any
actions. After the allocation of priorities, the interviewee can then proceed to the next task
according to the priority list.
The in-tray exercises are designed to allow the employers to assess the employees or
interviewees in aspect of their key competencies which can affect their work performances. For
instance, the employer might want to assess on an employee’s delegation skills, the readiness to
share problems with others, the working independency, the affinity or aversion to procedures. In
general, in order to nail an in-tray exercise, the employee or interviewee will have to demonstrate
the level of knowledge appropriate to the job, display the skills necessary for the job and to show
good and positive attitudes that best fit the given role. In short, this in-tray exercise is designed to
assess the KSAs which are Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes. The KSAs are well known in the
recruitment industry and is commonly used by employers to clearly identify prerequisites for a
job.

23. 23
In-Tray Items
The number of in-tray items that an employee or interviewee might get usually ranges between
ten to thirty items depending on the time and document types given. Besides documents like
memos, letters, emails and reports, one will also be given a description of roles and
responsibilities in a fictional organisation. Information such as the fictional organisation’s aims
and objectives, organisational chart, the problems faced; a list of key employees, the information
regarding the key third party organisation and their relationship and also a calendar of future
events might also be provided to the employee or interviewee. An example of the in-tray items is
shown below.

24. 24
In-Tray Exercise Assessment
There are many ways to assess the performance of an employee or interviewee in an in-tray
exercise. Two of the most common ways are through the response to questions in either multiple
choice format or in a writing format and a face-to-face interview with an assessor in which the
interviewee will have to explain and justify the actions and decisions made during the in-tray
exercise. A combination of these two methods are also commonly used. An example of the
assessment sheet is shown below.
Figure: Example of Written Assessment Sheets

25. 25
Benefits of In-Tray Exercise to the Employers
1. Allows employers to delegate roles more effectively and efficiently.
The in-tray exercise are designed to resemble the tasks that employees may encounter in their
daily work. The employers can design their own in-tray exercise according to their selection
criterions and the objectives of the organisation. Therefore, the in-tray exercise acts as a practical
assessment for the employers to better select employees that acquire the key competencies
needed by the organisation. As a result, the employers can get more information regarding that
particular employee which then helps them to better allocate tasks and jobs according to their
skills and abilities.
2. Allows employers to simulate working attitudes of the employees.
The in-tray exercise works similar to the role-playing games we have nowadays. This is because
the employee is given a specific roles in a fictional organisation and is asked to perform some
given tasks within a time limit. Through in-tray exercise, the employers can observe the
employees’ level of knowledge, skills, abilities and working attitude. A better observation in the
employees’ KSAs allows the employers to better predict their future job performance. This can
help the employers in selecting the best employees so that the vision and mission of the
organisation can be achieved easier.
3. Allows a better shortlist of interviewees according to their performance.
Interviewees nowadays acquire different types of skills and abilities. However, an organisation
does not need all of them. In fact, organisation only need particular skills and abilities to allow a
growth of the organisation. Hence, it is important to select employees with the needed skills and
abilities. By conducting in-tray exercise, the employers can have a better overview of each
interviewee not just by their resumes but hands-on practical work assessment. As all in-tray
exercises are unique according to different organisation, one cannot be fully prepared for it.
Hence, the interviewee must be able to perform great problem solving skill and critical thinking
skill in order to pass the in-tray exercise. In short, the in-tray exercise allows the best among the
interviewees to be selected.

26. 26
Key Competencies Assessment of In-Tray Exercise
1. Problems Solving Skills
An employee’s problem solving skills are needed to allow a smooth working process. This is
because an employee has to deal with different challenges and tasks daily. If an employee cannot
perform adequate problem solving skills, there will be a lot of work accumulated and hence
causing a delay of work.
2. Analytical and Critical Thinking Skills
It is important for an employee to be able to analyse problems using logical and critical thinking.
This is because the employers requires the piled up work to be summarised into straight-forward
information for better evaluation. Hence, additional problems have to be analysed and solved
critically so that the workload can be minimised.
3. Decision Making Skills
Decision making skills are very important to any organisation as it can promote the growth of a
company, it can also lead a company to its downfall. Employers are usually the one who make
all the bigger decisions. However, this doesn’t mean that employees don’t require these skills. It
is as important as the employers’ as the employees are the one who deals with the day-to-day
problems and hence decision making skills are required to allow effective and efficient working
process.
4. Communication Skills
An organisation must consists of more than one person to function. Hence, it is unavoidable to
work in teams and groups. Therefore, effective communication skills are needed in each and
every employees in order to avoid confusion and disputes. An employee has to perform good
communication skills when come to delegating tasks so that there won’t be any
misunderstanding regarding the job scope.

27. 27
Interview Activity 2: Physical Interview – Individual
In an employment context, an interview session is one of the basic activities needed to be carried
out when selecting potential employees. To hire the most suitable candidate as a future
employee, an interview must be conducted to act as a formal consultation for the purpose of
evaluating the qualifications of the candidate for a specific position. Questions are asked
throughout the interview to obtain the necessary information from the candidate and information
are exchanged to know more about one another and to evaluate the potential to establish a
professional working relationship.
Interviews are viewed as a useful tool in assessing qualifications and suitability of the candidate.
Before getting on board to the company, BSBH would like to test the waters during the job
interview. This is due to the fact that it offers BSBH valuable insight into the candidates’
personality and abilities and it also allows BSBH the chance to discern whether the candidates’
credentials and career goals match up with what the company seeks.
From the company’s side, the interview can act as an opportunity for the company to highlight
the positive aspects for the candidates if they manage to land a position in the company.
Moreover, the interview can lend a hand for the company in narrowing down the large volume of
applicants for the job by screening out the unsuitable candidates. Hence, BSBH designed a
number of interview questions to test certain criteria in order to hire the right employee for the
right position.
From the beginning itself, the interview session enables employers to obtain a great deal of
information based on the candidates’ appearance. A well-dressed employee would earn a good
first impression. Body language and posture are able to convey a message of its own. For
instance, slouching can display a lazy or uninterested demeanor whereas an erect posture can
interest and attentiveness. Based on first impressions, employers can sort between prospective
employees quickly.

28. 28
As the employers are interviewing an applicant, the candidates’ personalities will then show.
Opportunity is created for the candidates to show the company their potential and capabilities.
Throughout the interview session, several criteria can be tested, that are personality, attitude,
knowledge and problem solving skills.
From the employer’s perspective, they would want to find out whether the candidates:
 Have the expertise needed
 Have the willingness to learn and adapt
 Can handle criticism well
 Can get the job done effective and efficiently
 Are aware and hones about their own future goals
 Are motivated and eager to work

A common question asked at the start of the interview to break the ice between the interviewer
and candidate to make the candidate feel more comfortable during the interview process. Some
candidates would state their background and life story but the true purpose of this question is to
allow the candidates to present themselves in the best possible manner. The candidate should
showcase some of their best accomplishments and past experiences to show that he/she is the
ideal employee for the company. Concise and compelling answers would show how the
candidate can fit into the company.
2. “What do you know about our company?”
This aims to test whether the candidates have done their research beforehand about the company
they applied for. A thoroughly done research shows that the candidate is concern about where
he/she will be working in. By knowing basic information about the company such as the
company’s mission, the interviewer can seek out candidates that can most effectively discuss the
organization’s work and its impact. In addition, having the candidate to be able to think about
concrete ways the company’s mission relates to their passion and experiences would definitely
impress the interviewers.
3. “Why do you want this job?”
The purpose of this question is to identify whether the candidates are passionate and whether
they express enthusiasm about the work. It shows that the candidate is genuine about really
wanting to be part of the company to make great contributions. The candidates can sell
themselves by aligning their skills and experience with the role of the company to show that they
are fit for the job.
4. “What are your strengths and weaknesses?”
With specific set of strengths and skills that the company is looking for, this is crucial to ensure
that the suitable candidate is hired to put their strengths to good use for the company. Further
elaboration and clarification are needed to support the strengths that a candidate have. Discussing

30. 30
about the attributes that will qualify one candidate for the specific position will set him/her apart
from the others. This question enables the company to search for specific strengths that can
match with the company’s needs. The closer a match a candidate is, the more likely he/she will
get a job offer. Besides that, strengths also come with weaknesses. Discussing non-essential
skills towards the job as a weakness is acceptable. For candidates that mentioned about them
trying to improve on their weakness, it shows that they are trying to work on their personal
development and they are not afraid to accept their weaknesses. Another option that good
potential candidates can give is turning the negative weakness into a positive. For instance, a
sense of urgency to get projects completed or wanting to triple-check every item in a spreadsheet
can be turned into a strength. This shows that the candidate will make sure that the project is
done on time and the work done will be close to perfect. As the saying goes, “Build on your
strengths, work on your weaknesses.”
5. Why do you think we should hire you?
Once again, this question gives the candidates another opportunity to promote themselves and to
unleash their potentials. They can take this chance to show their competitive advantage to the job
that they applied for. Since there are a number of candidates who are equally qualified for this
position, the company wishes to seek for the most competent employee so that the company can
be one step closer to achieving the stated goals and mission. This is possible whereby the
suitable candidate is able to lead the employees towards that direction. The candidates should
cover the fact that not only they can do the work, they can also deliver great results and also the
candidates can really fit in with the team and culture. All of these will show that the candidate is
one of the company’s top choices.
6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
The company would like to see how ambitious the candidate is as well as to see how realistic the
goals are. The goal may be something very huge and unattainable but it takes a lot more time for
it to be achieved. As an interviewer, we would like to know the candidate’s realistic growth
strategy and their goals in the role of the job position they apply. It can determine whether their
goals matched with the needs of the company. Moreover, we would like to find out how the
candidate can incorporate their strengths and skills to attaining their goals and which areas are

31. 31
needed to be improved for their own personal development. Take for example, if a candidate
wishes to apply for the role of a project manager, the candidate should show how they would
apply their management skills in order to control the quality of a construction project.
7. What is your greatest accomplishment?
This is another opportunity for the candidates to share their most impressive experience.
Sometimes the candidates get held back and waste this opportunity because they are not
comfortable sharing their accomplishment as they fear that it might come off as being boastful.
In that case, it shows whether the candidate has done their research and come prepared for the
interview or not. The interviewer really wants to know what sets the candidates apart from other
qualified candidates, to get a better sense of what they have done and what they value. Sharing
their greatest accomplishment with specific details would allow the interviewer to analyse their
soft skills such as organizational skills, problem solving skills and the ability to work under
pressure.
8. What challenges are you looking for in this position?
This question tests the candidate’s critical thinking and problem solving skills. It shows the
eagerness within the candidate to go up front to the challenge and do their very best to conquer
the obstacles. The candidates should be well aware that challenges are part of the job scope and
they have to face it. The interviewer would like to know how the candidate would react to such
situation if any challenges occur and how they are going to resolve it. Candidates may state that
they are motivated by challenges, have the ability to effectively meet challenges, and have the
flexibility and skills necessary to handle a challenging job. This shows that the candidate is able
to think optimistically and turn a negative into a positive.
9. Tell me about a challenge or conflict you've faced at work, and how you dealt with it.
The question is asked in order to gain insight of the candidate’s behavior, interpersonal skills,
and your overall ability to manage conflict. A question such as this is known as a behavioral
question, in order to see how candidates may interact with other individuals at a professional
level. The simplest way to answer about conflict is the STAR technique. The STAR acronym
stands for Situation, Task, Action, and Results. Interviewers would want candidates to describe a

32. 32
challenging situation in which the candidate may have faced (Situation). Secondly, an
interviewer wants to understand the task accomplished (Task), and the action taken to carry out
the task (Action). Lastly, the interviewer wants to hear how the challenging situation is
overcome, in addition to the results of the conflict. (Results).
10. Do you have any questions for us?
This question is asked at the end of the interview and it is usually a chance for the candidates to
impress the interviewer. Giving answers such as “No, I have already got all my answers.” would
demonstrate that the candidate is not interested or can’t be bothered to do research about the
company. Generally, interviewers would gauge whether the candidate is informed, interested and
engaged. This is the time when the candidate can leave the interviewer with a feeling that he/she
is someone who is exactly the bright, resourceful, energetic person they want to add to the
company. The ones who leave the best impression are the ones that interviewers would
remember the most.

Interview Activity 3: Group Assessment
After the interview activities of in-tray exercise and physical interview for individual, we as the
employers had the basic impression on the candidates. Hence, the group assessment will be the
key activity to determine the selection of candidates to be one of the management trainees of our
company by convert their planning into actions.
To fulfill selection criteria:
● Responsible

What is group assessment?
Group assessment is an assessed discussion exercise that involves a small group of candidates.
Group assessment usually will be carried out as the last assessment and are similar in nature to a
panel interview. There are few types of group exercise, which included practical tasks,
discussion exercise and role-play exercise.
How the group assessment will be carried out?
Candidates will be separated into a small group of five or fewer person. The group will remain
the same until the end of the assessment. There will have a number of assessors involved in
group assessment. They will normally watch from the edge of the room, with each assessor
focusing on a specific candidate. There will be no definite right or wrong answer to this task
because the assessors are interested more in how the candidates work as a team. Group members
will be scored on their individual input, rather than the overall result for the group. Each of the
exercise will usually last 15 to 30 minutes.

34. 34
1. Practical Tasks
Practical tasks is the most common form of group exercise. It usually use as the ice-breaker to
help the group to relax and to gel. The group will be given task that required problem solving
skills and teamwork ability. The tasks may be not related to the workplace but it aims to test the
team’s coordination and teamwork ability, as well as individual contribution.
The exercise claims to portray one’s personality traits and responses. It could also help the
assessors to see if the candidates could work effectively with people who have different
personalities.
2. Discussion Exercise
Discussion exercise involves the group sit together and discuss on the specific topic given that
are usually news-based. The nature of the topics can vary but usually are related to the
candidates. Candidates are required to discuss on the topic while the other candidates in the
group can give replies or opinions. As such, it can test whether the candidates’ information are
up to date.
Practical task given by BSBH Construction Sdn. Bhd.:
In 15 minutes, you and your group are required to build a ‘marshmallow tower’ by using
stick spaghetti and marshmallow. Try to build the tallest tower with a marshmallow at the
top. Please make sure your group have sufficient time to complete the task given.
Discussion exercise given by BSBH Construction Sdn. Bhd.:
In 20 minutes, you and your group are required to discuss on the topic given. Each of you
have 3 minutes to share any information regarding the topic. In the end of the discussion, the
group members are free to give opinion or replies on the discussion. Time given for
preparation will be 2 minutes.
Topic: Is there a preferred way of managing construction? Why?

35. 35
Construction can be managed by designers, customers themselves, contractors, facilities
managers, independent project managers and independent construction managers. The company
have different interests in the process and would thus adopt different strategies corresponding to
the strengths and weaknesses of the employees. Hence, it is good to test the candidates on this
topic.
3. Role-play Exercise
Role-play exercise is the exercise that involve problem solving of a realistic construction case
scenario with certain challenges to overcome. The candidates in the group will be told to play
different roles to solve the problem together with their own roles.
The accessors have chance to see how the candidates would perform in a team instead of
answering scenario questions in the individual physical interview. With this exercise, the
accessors also can observe on how the candidates works in the group.
Role-play exercise given by BSBH Construction Sdn. Bhd.:
In 30 minutes, you and your group are required to solve the problem of the scenario given in
a team. Delegate roles and responsibilities for each candidates, and come out with a
solutions to the scenario given. Explain to the accessors of your group about your roles and
how are you going to contribute to the problem solving of the scenario.

reached out on different departments, their deadline of tasks are not up to date. There must
be the problem of miscommunications between the departments. The project had delayed for
2 weeks from the schedule, you and your team have to think of a solution to reduce the
worsening of the situation.

36. 36

interview activities that they have go through. This session is conducted to conclude the
interview of the day.

interview may not have strong connection, good fit, or vibe between particular interviewer
and interviewee

TASK 3
Competitive Advantage
Our competitive advantage is sustainable. Competitive advantages is a condition or circumstance
that puts a company in a favorable or superior business position. It allows a company to produce
a good or service at a lower price or in a more desirable fashion for customers. These conditions
allow the productive entity to generate more sales or superior margins than its competition.
1. Information Technology and Information Management used in our Company
In this modern era, Information technology plays a crucial role to any business as well as daily
needs. To compete and stand out against other competitors, our company utilize technology to
the fullest to be the very best against the other competitors such as using BIM software to assist
with our company’s construction planning phases. To gain the competitive advantage, we have
selected and use the best information technology and information management system to run our
organization.
a) Building Information Modelling (BIM)
There are a variety of information technology and information management systems in
the market and our company has decided to go with Building Information Modelling
(BIM) as our main information management system. BIM basically helps architects
design and model in 3D with layers of information about the individual elements that
compose a structure and how they work together in a system. This allows ease of
information sharing between each other to know where to work on.
The reason for choosing to use BIM in our company is mainly because it allows
understanding of the building operation easier and to make alterations or adjustment to
the design of the building faster with less cost. This in return creates efficiency and
speeds up the design process to prevent any additional expenses. Efficiency gain is one of
the main advantages of using BIM, it will gain through its ability to minimize project,
faster communication and coordination. Furthermore, BIM will catch problems before
they even happen. Instead of spending a ton of money trying to fix an unexpected

39. 39
problem, this can eliminate the possibility of that problem ever even arising and saving
money.
b) Cubicost / Glodon
In addition of BIM, we decided to utilize Cubicost to further enhance the experience of
BIM with this software. Cubicost, initially called Glodon, is one of the few types of
software available in the market that is capable of using Building Information Modelling
(BIM) for taking off. Cubicost offers four types of individual BIM-based software
products, namely the Cubicost Takeoff for Architecture and Structure (TAS), Cubicost
Takeoff for Rebar (TRB), Cubicost Takeoff for Mechanical and Electrical (TME), and
Cubicost TBQ.
Reason for choosing it is due to functionality with it being able to use with BIM software.
It also consists of Built-in local measurement methods, which was provided by numerous
professionals form various countries. It has an automatic function in which it deducts
elements automatically based on the relations among elements in BIM model to ensure
there is calculation accuracy. It has support viewing calculation basis and expressions to
facilitate rapid result checking and less calculation errors. This in return would really help
our company save time and cost along with providing quality work.
c) IBM Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurable computing resources. It allows to set up what is essentially a
virtual office to give our company the flexibility of connecting to business anywhere and
anytime. Cloud computing is also a delivery model of computing services over the
internet. It enables real time development, deployment and delivery of broad range of
products, services and solutions. Accounts such as Gmail or Yahoo are examples of cloud
computing as it is the basic online format of cloud computing.

40. 40
The IBM cloud computing is one of our company’s main information technology to use
as we believe that cloud computing can enhance efficiency and productivity in our
company. One of the benefits in moving to cloud computing is that it may reduce cost of
managing and maintain the IT systems in the company. Rather than purchasing overly
expensive systems and equipment, we can reduce additional cost by using the resources
in cloud computing service provider. The operating costs may be reduced due to the cost
of system upgrades, new hardware and software may be included in our contract. Aside
from that, we can adjust the flexibility of storage with changes per the situation.
Collaboration in a cloud environment gives our company the capability to communicate
and share information compare to the traditional method. The flexibility allows our
employees to be more flexible on their work practice such as able to access data
anywhere other than the office. Finally, the information put away in the cloud guarantees
it is backed up and ensured in a protected and safe area. Having the capacity to get to
your information again rapidly enable us to lead the resume work, minimising any
downtime and loss of profitability.
2. Customer Service/Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is a marketing term that measures how products or services supplied by a
company meet or surpass a customer's expectation. Customer satisfaction is important because it
provides marketers and business owners with a metric that they can use to manage and improve
their businesses.
Customer satisfaction is a leading indicator of consumer repurchase intentions and loyalty. If a
customer is satisfied with the experience provided, it creates loyalty towards the company and
are likely to come back again. Other than that, in a competitive marketplace where businesses
compete for customers, customer satisfaction is seen as a key differentiator. A customer will
choose a company that could satisfy him over another that provides the same product or services.
Satisfaction also plays a significant role in how much revenue a customer generates for the
business. Customers are willing to pay more to get service or product that can meet his
satisfaction. It adds value to the business and attracts more customers that are willing to spend
for its product. Lastly, an unhappy customer has the potential to ruin the business’s reputation.

41. 41
An unsatisfied customer will not repurchase the service or product provided, thus, will affect
others to do the same too by sharing his bad experience with the business.
Our company aims to develop competitive advantage through good customer service and
customer satisfaction. To achieve that, we must treat our customers like bosses. For instance, we
thank all customers, go out of our way to help customers and keep our promises. Other than that,
a survey is conducted every year to measure customers’ satisfaction and to make improvements
for the business by taking customers’ feedbacks seriously.
3. Business Networking
Business networking is an effective low-cost marketing method for developing sales
opportunities and contacts, based on referrals and introductions - either face-to-face at meetings
and gatherings, or by other contact methods such as phone, email, and increasingly social and
business networking websites. It is the process of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship
with other business people and potential clients and/or customers. The primary purpose of
business networking is to tell others about your business and hopefully turn them into customers.
The benefits of business networking are received new contacts and referrals, keep up with the
target market conditions, expanding knowledge and experience, and retain good relationship
with potential client and business partners.
To establish a good business network, we must be different and ambitious to show how we can
be better than other providers. We must always prioritise helping and giving to others ahead of
taking and receiving for ourselves. Other than that, we must also keep our integrity to build trust
and good reputation. Trust retains customers while good reputation attracts new customers.
Relevant groups and connections must be targeted. Relevance can be according to several things
such as geography, sector, academic, technical and social. Moreover, we will utilise the
connections made with previous partners and clients during our 10 years career. Therefore, we
believe that business networking could aid the success of our company by being our competitive
advantage against others.
