BSNS 5390   Managing in Organisations
Assignment Two Individual
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.    Unless a case study is given, illustrate your assignment with information publically available about an organisation, or your personal experiences. When reference is made to text book case studies refer to the course text Management in New Zealand (2012) by Samson, Catley, Cathro and Daft. Two copies are available on from the Unitec Library (Mt Albert) as course reserves
2.    Expected quality: Your assignment must be of a high professional standard, typed in 12 point font Arial or similar, 1.5 line spaced, with appropriate citation and referencing using the APA style. Your grade will reflect the quality of the assignment; Lower grades can be expected for poor quality citations, referencing and presentation, incorrect spelling, poor grammar, poor sentence structure or not following instructions. See examples of an A, B, C, grades at end of assignment. Refer to Te Puno Ako (the Learning Centre), or texts such as Writing Guidelines for Business Students by Lisa Emerson for assistance. See also:

3.    Use NZ or UK spelling and grammar check (Not US version), include page numbers in footer, name or student id in header, and justify to both left and right edges allowing sufficient margins for the marker (2.0 cms on right hand side).
4.    Note: Support all responses with relevant authority from textbooks and academic journal articles etc., available on-line from the Unitec Library.
5.    Failure to cite and reference correctly will result in a lower grade for your assignment. Check your assignment 24hrs after you submit early to TURNITIN, for referencing errors. Correct and resubmit to TURNITIN well before the final submission time.
6.    Plagiarism (passing off someone else’s work as your own) must be strictly avoided; if this is found, the assignment will receive zero marks, and the student may be liable for disciplinary action by the Programme Leader.
7.    Expressing your own points of view using argument will also improve the quality of your answers and assignment grade. It is suggested that you use a minimum of 4 academic articles per question for this assignment to enhance the quality of your answers, particularly if you are aiming for an A grade. The text book by Samson et al., is a great source for every answer.
You must sign and attach the completed cover sheet to the front of your completed assignment. You can then scan it into a pdf of your assignment, use a digital signature on a word document, or submit a signed copy to your lecture. Assignment boxes are available in Building 54.
