assessment
All assignments should be submitted online through the MRKT 20057 Moodle site.
All reports will be checked by Turnitin to compare the report to other sources and
will provide students and lecturers with a similarity score for the report. Reports with
a similarity score index of more than 20% will be checked for plagiarism (although it
may not necessarily mean that the student has plagiarised).
Assessments 2 and 3 are related.
Organize yourselves into teams of 2 or 3 people through signing up for groups
allocated in Moodle. Each member of the group has to individually submit the Self
and Peer Evaluation form in Moodle by the due date where you will evaluate your
own work and that of your team members. See information in Moodle for further
guidance.
For Assessment 3, you and your team mates are expected to choose ONE country
out of India, China, Australia, Nepal or Brazil where you will market Piñatex™ and
explain the rationale for your choice.
You will then provide recommendations for the following
a. Market selection and entry strategy

Finally, you are to provide a statement to reflect on how the Global Business
Marketing Unit has been valuable to you.

- As far as possible, as this is a team effort, we would like to hear all voices of
the students involved in the group especially on the metro campuses. For
distance education students, we would understand if this is not be possible.
- You should use a headset with microphone preferably or speak loudly if you
use the inbuilt microphone on your laptop/computer. Please make sure your
voice is clear, can be heard and understood when playing the Powerpoint
slides BEFORE you upload your work into Moodle.
- The Powerpoint slides will need to be uploaded in Moodle under the
“Assessment 3” link.
- Do NOT insert your audio as a wav.file into the slides because we will not
be able to hear you if it is not embedded in the file. To check if it works, you
could send your PPT file to a friend and see if they can hear it. Please do
not send to the Lecturer or Unit Co-ordinator to check.

What would you do to build a team?
This is a team-based assessment, where you have to allocate yourself to any of the teams
through the unit Moodle site. I would suggest you to make a team with whom you can
communicate with on a regular basis. The link, "build your team for group work", is available
in Week 1 slot in Moodle. Click on this link, and then select the group and click on the "choice"
button, and finally, scroll down and click on the "save my choice" button. There should be no
more than 3 members in a group; preferably from 3 different cultures. Check out some
guidelines on how to set up a ‘Group Contract’ in Moodle.P a g e | 3
The objective of this team-based assessment is to have increased communication in English,
network building, cross-cultural understanding and further strengthening your critical and
rational thinking abilities. Therefore, it is expected that you, as a team player, will practise and
achieve these critical skills. Exchange your communication IDs (Skype/E-mail/Facebook)
and/or phone numbers etc., and start your team work. You can also download Zoom.us, which
is free and allows you to call meetings and upload these meetings into your email calendar as
well as giving video feeds and you can share your work on the screen so that all team members
can see it. You will use the feedback/comment of your written assessment, negotiate with your
team members and make a rational decision. You need to reflect and apply all these in this
group work assessment.
How would I be assessed and marked?
The team members will assess their own work and that of their peers, and complete and upload
the self and peer evaluation form. The unit lecturer will evaluate their work and will compare it
with team members. The final grade will be allocated by the unit lecturer and coordinator. As
this is a summative assessment, there will be no feedback for this assessment.
