MGMT20144 | Presentation and Written Report | Management and Business Context

Task

You must be enrolled in a specific campus tutorial group by the beginning of week 4, no changes to tutorial groups will be allowed after groups have been formed. NOT MORE than seven groups of students per tutorial will be formed during classes in Week 4; these groups must be recorded on the unit Moodle site. Groups will be provided with information about a specific contextual factor from Topics 6-11 relevant to an existing business organisation. 

Your group will choose the organisation and its corresponding contextual factor from the list provided on Moodle. Please choose your contextual factor and corresponding organisation from the list provided based either on the contextual factor of interest to you or the week when you would like to do your in-class presentation. Distance students, please note that your presentation will be done via Zoom with the primary unit coordinator in the week corresponding the chosen topic. Whilst the presentations will be done in class on a weekly basis the report that relates to the presentation is due in Week 12 regardless of which week you presented.

The contextual factors that will be examined in the presentation and report are:

• Governance Options and Issues - Week 6 OR
• Innovation and Entrepreneurship Issues - Week 7 OR
• Knowledge Management and eCommerce Issues - Week 8 OR
• Regional Economic Issues - Week 9 OR
• Globalisation Issues - Week 10 OR
• Cross Cultural Management Issues - Week 11

                                                                                             

This is a group task that requires you to do a formal presentation of not more than 5 minutes per student. However, the total presentation time should be not more than 20 minutes. So if there are 5 students in your group, the presentation must still be no more than 20 minutes in length. The presentation should consist of referenced slides that are narrated; every member of the group must present on the nominated day. Both the PowerPoint slides, and a reference list are to be uploaded to Moodle the day of your presentation. Only one member of your group needs to do this.

In addition to the presentation you are to write a report that summaries the main content of the presentation. A minimum of 12-16 academic sources must be used to further research and investigate the business organisation and contextual factor. You are to assess the impact of the contextual factor, identify the critical issues and generate a series of appropriate recommendations that will enhance the performance of the specific business organisation. You only need to submit one report per group on Moodle. Your report should take into account feedback that was given on the presentation.

You are also required to provide peer evaluation and feedback to each of the other groups in your tutorial class.  In addition, you must recommend solutions to contemporary challenges facing the business discussed in each presentation that is done by other groups in your tutorial class. This will be done in class from weeks 6-11; therefore you must attend the presentations of every group in your tutorial class. The evaluation, feedback and recommendation provided each week will comprise 6 of the 30 marks for this assessment item; this is one mark per week. You will be provided with a form to complete each week and this will be collected at the end of the tutorial. This is an individual mark and will be added to the final mark for this assessment item.
