    Marking criteria:
    The professional production of the report, its logical development of ideas, sentence skills, structure of text, and awareness of the target audience
    The clear and thorough referencing of the sources all facts, views and opinions quoted or summarised that are not your own.
    The relevance of the information and resourced materials used (both quantitative and qualitative).
    The relevant and appropriate application of strategic analysis tools (that is, tools and techniques should be applied that are relevant to the analysis being undertaken).
    The quality and validity of recommendations and how well these are based on the strategic analysis (that is, the reader should clearly understand why you are making these recommendations given the previous discussion within your analysis)
    How practical the recommendations are to implement within the context of the organisation (this should be demonstrated within your discussion of how these are to be implemented)

    •From iLearn cont.
    Part B
    You will take the role of a "specialist" utilising the knowledge you have acquired within your Masters' program to demonstrate how this specialist knowledge can add value to the organisation.

    This part of the report is an opportunity for you to further develop a particular issue that may have been identified in your Part A analysis, but which now may benefit from further, more detailed, analysis, investigation or discussion using your specialist viewpoint. It needs to be an issue that may potentially impact, either positively or negatively, the future success of the organisation
    It may be, for example, a developing issue in the macroeconomy or a variable arising from changes in the social environment that may impact stakeholder expectations somehow in the years ahead.
    It may be, alternatively, an issue concerned with internal organisation factors that may impact future strategic success, for example, skills or capability issues.

    The issue you identify needs to be relevant to your specialisation and needs to be relevant to the case organisation - this is how you are demonstrating your value.


    Marking criteria:
    •The practicality, relevance and validity of the chosen issue to your specialist discipline
    •The quality, range and use of factual data gathered and applied (both quantitative and qualitative) to support your analysis and its relevance to the analysis
    •The demonstration of expert specialist knowledge and professional judgement in your analysis
    •The justification and support of recommendations or findings from the analysis to the organisation (that is, how successfully do your ultimate conclusions address the original issue identified and do they add value in some way).


    •
    •From ILearn cont.
    •The final report structure for each Part A and B is described below and must contain the following elements relevant to each part as a minimum:
    •Part A (2,500 words excluding appendices/references)
    1.Executive Summary (250 words)
    2.Introduction
    3.Sections with relevant headings describing the types of analysis you have performed (within the Strategic Management Cycle framework) to investigate and appraise the issues, and the outcomes of this analysis.
    4.Summary of recommendations (in bullet point format).
    5.Proposal of how these recommendations are to be implemented (this will serve as a preliminary discussion for the consideration of the Board/senior management if they choose to proceed with the recommendations in the future).
    6.References/Appendices as required
    •Part B (1500 words excluding references/appendices)
    1.Executive Summary (250 words)
    2.Introduction
    3.Discussion (use headings as appropriate to aid readability)
    4.Conclusion
    5.References/appendices as required.

    •Further class information (this adds to the information on iLearn):
    •For Part A, it is expected that each student will have applied the “strategic management cycle” as covered in this unit in some way to propose a sustainable strategy (ies) for Wesfarmers. But remember that Part A of the report is only 2500 words – be concise and “to the point”.
    •You can use information either from the case material or from other sources – remember to reference properly!
    •You may cover Wesfarmers as a total corporation or you may concentrate on a particular area (eg business) of Wesfarmers only – this is your choice -  but explain why you have chosen this area  eg why is it strategically important for Wesfarmers to focus on this area? What benefit? (eg size, potential, threats?)

    •Further class information cont:
    It is expected, however, that some discussion is included in relation to the following areas as a minimum for PART A:
    -   Identification of stakeholder expectations via a stakeholder analysis and how this   translates   into its overall “direction” (ie its purpose and ethical stance as defined by its major policies)
    -   External Analysis – relevant discussion including PESTEL (already performed as part of the   stakeholder analysis) , Porters 5 forces, competitor and customer/market analysis
    -  Internal Analysis – relevant discussion of capabilities
    -   A summary of the above issues within a SWOT analysis
    -            A discussion arising from this of strategic options (ie using the main   frameworks we have   reviewed in class – specifically Porters’ generic strategic choices for competitive advantage    and the Ansoff matrix).
    Then,
    -  Your recommended strategy(ies) (based on your analysis) to achieve sustainable success in   the context of the stakeholder expectations you have previously identified
    -  A discussion of any implementation or operational management issues (covered in classes   9 and 10). This should comprise a brief discussion of issues/requirements concerning   structures, systems, whether cultural issues are relevant, and, what leadership style may be   required for strategic change management of your recommendations).

      Remember that the logic of the recommended strategies must be based on the   outcomes of your analysis. There is no sense making recommendations that   are not  supported by your analysis!

    •Further class information cont.
    •In respect to Part B, this is an opportunity to be creative within your degree specialisation and to demonstrate your value as a “consultant” or even a future employee!
    •
    •Provide a reasonable structure (with headings) within the detailed parts of the report to aid readability.
    •
    •In summary (for Parts A and B), the above is a guide only and does NOT intend to limit what you do in your report. There are no pre-determined, correct, strategic recommendations that you will be marked against. So be creative and original in what you do! Originality will attract a better grade.
