It is noted that this individual report does not need to
contain a primary research component (e.g.
interview, online survey, focus group, etc.), so the
ethical issues are not applicable in this task.
The purpose of this assignment is to produce a
substantive piece of industry-based analysis and to
integrate work experience flexibly into this Report.
• One option is for students to develop an
independent project in negotiations with their
employer and prepare a workplace-relevant
Report.
• Alternatively, students may choose a
esearch topic of strong personal and
professional interest that can utilise the
experience of working in an organisation.
The project should address a specific and real
management challenge or business issue, ideally
elevant to the partner organisation or at least of
strong personal and professional interest to the
student. In so doing, students can develop and
demonstrate their capacity for high value thinking
and effective decision making.
Students must have their Report topic approved by
the Academic Supervisor no later than Week 8 of
the internship semester. This topic will be disclosed
to other students at the last On-line Discussion
Forum in Week 12.
Reports will be submitted via Turnitin and marked by
their academic supervisor during the examination
period at the end of semester.
