Assessment Task 1 ‘Small CLN’ Class Case Study  Written Submission and Assessment Task 2A Presentation

• Word Limit (Paper): 2000
• Time Limit (Presentation): 15 minutes, 5 minutes Question and Answer
• Weighting: 40% (25% Paper, 15% Presentation)
• Purpose: To apply the tools and techniques of strategic analysis and the ‘Small CLN’s’ understanding of the strategy process to a practical case study situation.
• Process/Assessment: Refer Hubbard (1996, 2000) for instructions on analyzing a case study. All the information needed to respond to the case is provided in the case, the text, and class materials. The External Links available in the Distributed Learning System provides another useful and practical available resource. No specific questions are given for the case. ‘Small CLNs’ should analyse the case situation and also make recommendations as to what the company and/or individual(s) in the case should do. The analysis should address four issues:

 

1. 1. External Environment, Industry Environment and Critical Success Factors (20% of the available marks).
2. Company Analysis (20%).
3. SWOT (15%).
4. Recommendations, including justifications, of how the organisation should address these key issues (35%).

 

• The recommendations should be consistent with the analysis and pick up all major issues identified in the analysis. The subject leader will be looking for the ‘Small CLN’ to identify, prioritise and address the key issues impacting shareholder and stakeholder value and discuss/debate this in class.
• ‘Small CLNs’ will be assessed on their Question and Answer performance (10% of the available marks).
• The case study is a valuable teaching and learning tool and an exercise in business writing. Attention should be given to grammar, presentation and the logic of the argument. If you would not give the case you have prepared to your immediate report in the workplace then think again about presentation before submission to the Subject Leader.
• ‘Small CLN’s’ to be no greater than 4.
• The Case Study must be referenced using the Author/Date system.  Assignments must be checked through TurnItin.
• Reference:  Hubbard, G. 1996, ‘Analysing a case’, in G. Lewis, A. Morkel, G. Hubbard, Stockport, G. and Davenport, S. (eds.) Cases in Strategic Management: Australia and New Zealand, 2nd Edition, Prentice Hall, Sydney, pp. viii-xvi. (Class Distribution)
