The following instructions are strictly applied throughout our MBA program:

The assessments are an important part of unit progression and are to be attended to diligently. Hence, no attempt at an assessment means no marks.
Assessment tasks must be submitted within the timeframe given. Late submission will attract a 5% deduction in the mark for each day the submission is late.
Assessment guidelines must be followed, for example, if the assessment involves a written report of 2,000 words, the word count is important. If the word count is more than 10% outside the guideline, there will be a deduction of 5% off the final mark.
All assessments must be submitted to VIT, Australia and will be checked, marked and the student provided with feedback. Assessments can be submitted on LMS and by email.
Students are required to achieve at least 40% in each assessment component and an overall mark of 50% to achieve a pass grade in the unit. If a student does not achieve 40% in an assessment and the overall mark for the unit is more than 50%, then a mark of 49% will be recorded for the unit.

The authorised agent/local tutor can help students understand the various parts of the assessment and also will be appointed as “Invigilator” (supervision only) for the assessment.

Note – For all assignments, the preferred layout is in 12-point Calibri, with 1.5 line spacing, 5 centimetres left- hand margins and bold headings. Whenever you use the ideas and arguments of other writers, you must make reference to the writers and their work. By acknowledging the work of others, you avoid

plagiarism. The APA style requires a reference list at the end of your assignment. It is to be arranged in alphabetical order by author surname.

For further clarification you can contact your tutor via the VIT email.

Teamwork, or group work are core practices in business. Activities and actions always involve more than one person, regardless of the size of the business.

Consequently in management programs, students are required to participate in group assignments, and breakout discussions in lectures and tutorials.

In this assignment your group must find a suitable business case study in relation to strategic diagnosis, identification of gaps, strategic plans and strategies, and implementing them. Apply theories, tools and frameworks

covered in the unit. Your group must conduct research about the enterprise beyond what is revealed in the case study.

An example might be a case study about a major event that effected the business, such as the Samarco tailings dam disaster in Brazil, 2015. To analyse this case research would need to examine the various parties involved in the

event, be they the owners of the mine, the communities effected, the Brazilian government, and the markets effected by the event.

Critically analyse the specific organizational case study in relation to strategic diagnosis, identification of gaps, strategic plans and strategies, and implementing them. Apply theories, tools and frameworks covered in the unit.

The presentation of the case study (15 minutes and 15 slides Maximum) must be conducted in a manner as if being presented to an executive board. Note that within PowerPoint is a feature for recording commentary. It is recommended that your team uses this.

The names and student numbers of each member of the group must be on title page of the report, and in the first PPT slide. The report and the group presentation must be submitted by only one member of the group.
