Assignment 2: Additional Information
It is important to note that the unit of analysis for assignment 2 is an organisation (not industry). You may
choose an organisation that you are familiar with – either through your employment (current or past) or
simply by research.
This assignment involves research within the context of existing knowledge. Your investigation may be
based on both primary and secondary data that should be analyzed and used to support a logically
structured argument. It is important to recognize that mere reporting of facts will be inadequate and I will
look for evidence of critical review and analysis.
You are expected to assess three distinct dimensions of strategy for the selected organisation. The
dimensions are:
 Generic business strategy
 Organisational culture
 Formal organisational structure
You must report the current status of each dimension and provide a critique of its relevance. You need to
clearly articulate the conclusions that you draw about these dimensions individually. What linkages and
consistency can you identify or infer within these dimensions?
As stated earlier it is important to ensure that your assignment is not limited to reporting of facts. While
reporting of facts is important, it should lead to analysis and discussion to further your argument.
Statements and claims without any credible evidence do not add any value to the quality of any
assignment.
I expect that a good balance will be maintained for academic and professional sources of information. I
am concerned that many earlier assignments were driven by non-academic

web sources such as QuickMBA.com, Docstoc.com, 123Helpme.com, BusinessTimes100.com Marketing
Teacher.com etc.
Assessment Criteria:
Your assignment will be assessed on multiple criteria including an ability to utilise appropriate academic
theories that can provide a framework for analysing various issues; ability to develop and present an
effective argument for the selected industry; ability to utilise sources such as the Internet and University
library facilities to search, locate and summarise relevant information and data to develop and present
your argument and an ability to critically analyse information, formulate conclusions and exhibit original
thought.

2. You must make an effort to use multiple sources of information in preparing your assignment. These
sources may include- articles from refereed journals (the most important source), electronic database,
newspapers, and in some cases (where feasible and desirable) interviews with key stakeholders.
Assignments will be assessed based on demonstrated conceptual understanding, evidence of wide
reading and research, appropriate editing and consistent use of referencing.

Plagiarism and Other Forms of Cheating: Plagiarism is a serious act of academic misconduct. Please
familiarize yourself with the University’s Policies on Examination and Assessment, including plagiarism
and other forms of cheating. Students must not submit work that has previously been submitted for this
course or any other course.
Late Assignment Submission: I am sympathetic to unforseen personal and professional problems that
might arise from time to time. However students are expected to submit their work by the due date to
maintain a fair and equitable system. Extensions will only be given for medical or other serious
reasons. Requests for extensions must be emailed to the lecturer of the course, preferably before the due
date. Each request will be assessed on its merits. Late assignments (without prior arrangement) will be
penalised by a 5% reduction for each day the assignment is late.
Please retain a copy of all assignments submitted.
