Assessment Description PART A (In-Class for both Face-to-Face and Online Students Draft Report Framework) In Week 3/4 during class, groups (of 4 students) will be formed and the group will need to select an Australian Publicly listed company/organisation from one of the following industries: Tourism, Media and Entertainment, Healthcare, Mining, Agriculture and Manufacturing. The list of companies are available via the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). You can find the list of companies at https://www.asx.com.au/. You should confirm your choice with your Facilitator before commencing your Assessment As part of the in-class activities, you will develop a group draft report framework (that is approved by your Facilitator) to assist you in preparing your individual report. Attendance is compulsory for this in-class part of the assessment (face-to-face and online). Each student will individually submit a copy of their group framework via Moodle and their individual report via Turnitin. PART B. (Individual) By looking at the organisation/company’s website, business articles and Annual Reports, you will be able to see whether it is possible to access enough information about its organisational practices to address the following: 1. Identify how your selected organisation/company is seeking to improve the performance of its workforce? Using at least TWO performance related initiatives discuss the ways that the organisation/company might measure the success of the initiatives? 2. Identify the key components of the “corporate culture” of your selected organisation/company and using at least TWO culture-based initiatives discuss how they are trying to improve its culture and how they might measure the success of the initiatives? The group-work in-class component (conducted face-to-face or online) will provide you with an opportunity to assess your choice of organisation/company and its Human Resource practices. https://www.asx.com.au/ Page 2 Kaplan Business School Assessment Outline Assessment Instructions • You MUST use the same organisation/company as you used in Part A (Group Work) • Using a Report Format, include the following components: o Introduction (150 words) o Performance Related Initiatives (600 words) o Culture Related Initiatives (600 words) o Conclusion (150 words) o Reference List (using the Harvard Referencing Convention throughout your report and reference list at the end) • You should refer to at least two theories to support your discussion of the Performance Related Initiatives and at least two theories to support your discussion of Culture Related Initiatives.
