Module 10 readings and resources – decision making processes in organisations and/or ethical decision making- The assigned company is Stockland.
Instructions:
Background
You will be assigned a company and a topic for this assessment. Your task is to act as a business consultant
specialising in the assigned topic, recruited by the assigned company. Your role involves conducting research on the
company, the allocated topic, and any issue(s) identified in the media that are relevant to your company and the
topic. Based on your research findings, you will develop recommendation(s) for an alternative process that your client
could adopt to address the issue.
NOTE: Students are not to contact the companies they have been allocated.
Business consultants are experts in their field of practice. To become an expert in your field of practice (i.e., assigned
topic), you will need to complete the relevant online learning material, as well as the readings and resources available
on vUWS.
To identify an issue(s) that your allocated company is currently facing, it is important to utilise current media sources.
As a consultant, your recommendation(s) should not be based on what the company is already doing, but rather
focus on areas where you believe the company can improve. It is crucial to provide useful, relevant, and accurate
sources to justify your claims. Failure to provide sufficient justification may impact the logical flow of your ideas and
mark.
Recommended approach to this assessment:
1. Start by reviewing the online learning materials, readings, and resources available for your assigned topic.
2. Begin the discovery phase by researching background information about the company you have been allocated.
3. Continue the discovery phase by reading current media articles and identifying issue(s) that are relevant to
your assigned topic.
4. Continue researching to find recommendation(s) that the allocated company can implement to improve and
address the identified issue(s).
5. Compile your findings in a report and presentation. A minimum of 8 references from scholarly and nonscholarly sources is required for this assessment.
6. Reflect on your experience completing this assessment and working as a consultant.
Typically, business consultants complete a consulting project and then communicate their work back to the decisionmakers in the company they have been recruited to consult for. This is usually done through a brief presentation and
a more detailed report.
Sources of Data for your research:
Students are encouraged to use as many resources as needed to achieve a great outcome in this assessment. The
requirement of 8 scholarly and non-scholarly references is a minimum requirement.
In addition to the subject readings, students must use peer-reviewed articles, business databases and relevant media
sources.
Company annual reports should not be seen as the sole source of information; your research should use other sources
such as Factiva (e.g. articles from the [Australian] Financial Review) and IBIS (which provides reports on companies)
– both of which are available through e-resources on the WSU Library site.
Other sources such as the ASX company information and announcements database etc. could be useful for specific
presentation topics.
A Library Hunt activity will be completed in class to guide the development of your Data Collection Progress Report
will be undertaken in Week 7.
PLEASE WRITE THE REPORT FOR ME AND I’LL DO THE PRESENTATION AND REFLECTION BASED ON THE REPORT.
