Your Task
This Assessment Task focusses on the analysis of a Contemporary Case Study. There are two core
components to this activity: to work in a group in-class to develop a draft framework (plan) to identify the
key themes, concepts and theories discussed in the Case Study and then using that framework (plan) create
an individual report which demonstrates a detailed understanding of the core concepts in the Case Study
and provides answers to three (3) questions.
The Case Study and questions will be provided in Week 4.
Assessment Description
PART A (Group In-Class for both Face-to-Face and Online Students Case Study Analysis
Framework)
In Week 10 in-class groups (of 4 students) will be formed. As part of the in-class activities, you will develop
a Case Study Analysis framework (plan), that must be endorsed by your Lecturer, to assist you in preparing
your individual report. This activity will be conducted in-class in Weeks 11/12. Attendance is compulsory
for this in-class part of the assessment (face-to-face and online). Each student will individually submit a copy
of the Case Study Analysis that was completed in a Group and their individual report via Turnitin.
PART B. (Individual)

international business articles and media reports. The group-work in-class component (conducted face-to-
face or online) will provide you with an opportunity to work together to gather cu
ent information and
supporting theories that have been covered in the subject to answer the three (3) questions provided.
While additional information will be provided with the Case Study (Week 4), you will be required to use a
Report Format, refer to three (3) international business theories and include a minimum of five (5) academic
and contemporary business resources to support your answers.
