MGMT20144: Understanding Management and Business Context - Management Assignment

Internal Code: MAS 4656

Awareness and Understanding of the Materials

You are required to select an organisation that will help you to illustrate your understanding of the concepts and theories discussed in topics 1-5 of this course. The organisation you choose will also be the subject of analysis for assessment task 2, so ensure that you can find (and appropriately reference) a satisfactory amount of information regarding the organisation you choose. You will then prepare an essay that demonstrates awareness and understanding of the concepts and theories discussed in this course in relation to the organisation you have chosen. The course coordinator has prepared a video that explains the requirements of the task in greater detail, along with several other useful tips about the assignment, and this video is available on the Moodle site. The marking criteria is also provided on the Moodle site as a separate document; however, in summary, your assessment will be marked based on how well it addresses the following areas. Students are to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter by:  

• Defining key terms and utilising the theories and concepts presented in topics 1-5
• Ability to explain major domestic and international contextual factors and how they affect business structures and strategy.
• Demonstrating a breadth and quality of research by using a minimum of 12-16 academic sources.
• Correctly using of the APA in text referencing system to correctly citing academic sources.

These are the minimum requirements as outlined in the marking criteria. However, students should note that satisfactorily meeting the minimum requirements will typically only result in the minimum pass grade being awarded. Higher grades will be awarded for students that exceed these minimum requirements. See the marking criteria for further details.
