COURSEWORK DESCRIPTION

The objective this coursework is to develop your ability to analyze case studies for ethical and management issues. For each case study, the emphasis of the analysis is to develop a rationale that supports and explains a specific behaviour or action.

This coursework contributes 30% to the B302 unit mark. There are 3 case studies in the coursework assignment. Each answer will receive 0–10 marks. The total coursework mark is the sum of marks received for all 3 answers.

Each written answer should inform the reader in a way that is easy to understand and reflects your own personal style. The emphasis is on quality of reflection and analysis – not quantity of words. Typical answers should be in the range of 250 to 500 words. Students are not required to use a referencing or citation format.
