21928 PWE, Autumn 2017
Case Study Analysis (Individual) – 55%
The case study analysis assessment
requires you to apply theory to a realworld example. The case study will
provide a description of a particular
business problem, as a basis for critical
analysis, review and evaluation.
All students will be required to analyse
the same allocated case study
(available on UTS Online) in an attempt
to reinforce the applicability of theory
to the practical situation.
The report is to be submitted in two
parts. The first part, the formative
component, is due in week 7, is worth
15% of the total grade for this
assessment and is not to exceed 600
words.
Please note there will be no opportunity
for resubmissions if your report does not
meet the assessment standards.
Both the formative and summative
components must be prepared in line with
the report format requirements as set out
in this assessment outlined.
Each assessment component MUST be
uploaded to Turnitin using the links
provided through UTS Online. It is your
responsibility to check and confirm the
submission dates and cut off times.
There is no need to submit a hardcopy of
your assessment as a criteria-based online
marking system (ReView) will be used to
provide paperless marking and to return
feedback.
The formative component of the assessment
is designed to help you and your tutor
identify strengths, and any potential gaps in
your knowledge, understanding and skills
expected for the successful completion of
the assessment task.
Feedback relating to the formative
component will be provided in week 9
tutorials.
Part two, the summative component of the
assessment, is due in week 11, is worth 40%
of the total grade for this assessment and is
not to exceed 1,500 words.
The summative component is the final
submission and will be used to assess your
knowledge and abilities in relation to the
learning outcomes for the assessment task.
This s assessment addresses
subject objectives 1, 2 and 3 as
well as program learning
objective 4.2
Assessment task 12 2
Formative Submission – 15%
The formative component of the assessment requires that you think about the complexities of real-life situation presented
in the case study and address the following question:
Issue 1. Identification of sustainability initiatives & their authenticity
Consider what sustainability initiatives have been implemented by the case organisation and if the initiatives are
‘authentic’. Your answer should identify the sustainability initiatives evident within the case study and the
extent to which the case organsiation is being authentic or genuine in their efforts.
In addition to including a response to issue one, your submission should also include an introduction and a reference list.
The word limit for the formative component is up to 600 words. Your formative submission will be assessed against the
following equally weighted criteria:
• Identification of sustainability initiatives
• Analysis and evaluation of the authenticity of sustainability initiatives
• Links to Course Readings and Additional Research
• Writing Mechanics and Formatting Guidelines
• Referencing
The complete assessment rubric can be found at the back of this assessment outline.
The purpose of the formative component of this assessment is to help you and your tutor identify strengths, and any
potential gaps in your knowledge, understanding and skills expected for the successful completion of your summative
component. This form of ongoing assessment helps you and your tutor to systematically track and document progress
toward the attainment of learning outcomes. It also requires you to engage in the assessment process well ahead of the
summative due date thus allowing you to reflect on your own efforts and improve.
The formative component of your report is due in week 7 and is worth 15%. A soft copy of your submission is to be
uploaded prior to the cut-off date and time (Thursday 4th May 2017 @ 11:59pm) to Turnitin using the link in the
Assessment Task 1 assignment folder on UTS Online. You will receive a digital receipt, containing your paper ID, as
confirmation of a successful assignment submission via Turnitin. Please save or print a copy of the Turnitin receipt. The
Turnitin link has been set up to allow for multiple submissions of the same report without impacting your originality score.3 3
The summative component of the assessment requires that you think about the complexities of the real-life situation
presented in the same case study you analysed in the formative component and address the following three questions:
Issue 1. Identification of sustainability initiatives & their authenticity
Consider what sustainability initiatives have been implemented by the case organisation and if the initiatives are
‘authentic’. Your answer should identify the sustainability initiatives evident within the case study and the
extent to which the case organsiation is being authentic or genuine in their efforts.
Issue 2. Contribution of initiatives to enhancing positive social & human outcomes for the
case organisations’ human resources
From having considered issue 1 you should already be aware of the sustainability initiatives and how authentic
the organsiation is when it comes to sustainability. Now for issue 2 you need to consider if any of the
sustainability initiatives already identified in issue 1 specifically contribute to enhancing positive social and
human outcomes for the case organisations’ human resources. You should not identify any new sustainability
initiatives but rather explain how those identified in issue 1 do or do not contribute to enhancing positive social
and human outcomes for the case organisations’ human resources.
Issue 3. How outcomes might differ for the similar initiatives in a different business context
Issue 3 requires you to consider how the same sustainability initiatives you identified in issue 1 might differ if
they were implemented in a different business context (SME, NFP, Public, Private). For example, if you
identified a large private, for profit organisation as having a corporate volunteering policy as one of their
initiatives whereby they provide their employees with time away from work to help support local community
activities, you could than consider if such an initiative would be feasible in a small or medium sized
organisation. Hence you are considering the transferability of your identified initiatives and their feasibility in a
different business context, not between different companies.
Summative Submission – 40%4 4
In addition to including responses to all three issues, your submission should also include an introduction, a conclusion and a
reference list. The word limit for the summative component is up to 1,500 words. Your summative submission will be
assessed against the following equally weighted criteria:
• Identification of sustainability initiatives
• Analysis and evaluation of the authenticity of sustainability initiatives
• Contribution of initiatives to enhancing positive social & human outcomes for human resources
• How outcomes might differ for the same initiatives in a different business context
• Links to Course Readings and Additional Research
• Writing Mechanics and Formatting Guidelines
• Referencing
The complete assessment rubric can be found at the back of this assessment outline.
The summative component of the assessment will be used to evaluate your learning, knowledge acquisition, and academic
achievement against program learning objective 4.2. You are encouraged to use feedback gained from the formative
component of the assessment to improve your summative submission. If you were satisfied with your efforts in addressing
issue one in the formative component of the assessment you can reuse your response in the same form or you can make
minor adjustments or completely rework your answer if you wish for the summative submission. You should however
consider prior to simply performing a cut and paste how congruent your issue one response is in the totality of the complete
assessment.
The summative component of your report is due in week 11 and is worth 40%. A soft copy of your submission is to be
uploaded prior to the cut-off date and time (Thursday 1st June 2017 @ 11:59pm) to Turnitin using the link in the Assessment
Task 1 assignment folder on UTS Online. You will receive a digital receipt, containing your paper ID, as confirmation of a
successful assignment submission via Turnitin. Please save or print a copy of the Turnitin receipt. The Turnitin link has been
set up to allow for multiple submissions of the same report without impacting your originality score.5 5
!
Always remember that you will be judged by the quality of your work, which includes your written work such as case
study reports. Sloppy, dis-organised, poor quality work will say more about you than you probably want said! To ensure
the quality of your written work, keep the following in mind when writing your report:
1. An introduction and conclusion are essential elements in any complete written report. Insights on how to write
an effective introduction and conclusion can be found in the UTS: Business Guide to Writing Assignments.
2. Proofread your work! Fix the errors before submitting.
3. Use spell checker to eliminate spelling errors.
4. Use grammar checking to avoid common grammatical errors such as run on sentences.
5. Ensure you have appropriately acknowledged the original authors of information and ideas whose work you
have drawn from. Of the various systems for presenting citations (acknowledgements within your assignment)
and references (lists of sources used), the one favoured for use within UTS Business School and required for this
assessment is the UTS Harvard system. Refer to the UTS Business School’s ‘Guide To Writing Assignments’ for
the correct citation and referencing method - www.uts.edu.au/node/50946!
6. Note that restating of case facts is not included in the format of the case report, nor is it considered part of
analysis. Anyone reading your report will be familiar with the case, and you need only to mention facts that are
relevant to (and support) your analysis or recommendation as you need them.
7. If you are going to include exhibits (particularly numbers) in your report, you will need to refer to them within
the body of your report, not just tack them on at the end! This reference should be in the form of supporting
conclusions that you are making in your analysis. The reader should not have to guess why particular exhibits
have been included, nor what they mean. If you do not plan to refer to them, then leave them out.
8. Write in a formal manner suitable for scholarly work (third person), rather than a letter to a friend.
9. Common sense and logical thinking can do wonders for your evaluation!
Guidelines for Writing up the Report6 6
10. Common sense and logical thinking can do wonders for your evaluation!
11. You should expect that the computer lab's or that your internet service provider will not be functioning in the
twelve hours prior to your deadline for submission. Plan for it!
12. Proof-read your work! Have someone else read it too! (particularly if English is not your first language). This
second pair of eyes will give you an objective opinion of how well your report holds together.
13. Ensure your analysis is below the stated word limit (1,500 words). The main reason for this is to encourage
students to write in a clear, concise and efficient manner. If a student submits an assignment that exceeds the
limit, he or she may be penalised by a loss of marks (10% of the base mark). The word limit encompasses all the
words in the text from the start of the introduction to the end of the conclusion (including headings, quotations
and references).
14. Finally submit your case study on time. Late submissions will incur a penalty to ensure fairness to other students
who have complied with the submission deadline. A soft copy must be uploaded to Turnitin using the link in the
assessment folder on UTS Online.
15. Requests for extensions must be made in writing at least three days before the due date and will only be granted in
cases of prolonged illness, misadventure or other circumstances beyond the student's control. Assessments
submitted after the due date, or the revised due date where an extension has been granted, will be subject to a
penalty of ten (10) per cent of marks per every 24 hours period after the submission date and time. For example,
if an assessment is due at 2 pm, the assessment is deemed to be one day late if it is submitted in the period from
2.01 pm on the due date to 2 pm on the following date. Where an assignment is more than five (5) days late the
assessment will not be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment task. Students cannot
expect to receive verbal or written feedback for late work.7 7
Frequently Asked Questions
Writing style and format
In the assessment criteria it says the report is to be written in a scholarly manner (third person). What do you mean by third person?
For tips on the distinction between First, Second, and Third Person you may want to refer
to: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person
Can I use direct quotes from the literature in my report?
Avoid using numerous, lengthy quotations from articles. It is preferable to paraphrase and place the information within the
context of the assessment unless the original author's words are the very best way of expressing the idea. With the case
study assessment you are required to demonstrate critical thinking, hence the best way of doing this is to express concepts
from your own perspective and in your own words. You should avoid using large quotes but if you do they certainly
should not constitute more than 5% of your assignment.
I am struggling to stay within the word limit, do you have any tips?
Strike out as many uses of a, an, the, that, which, and similar words as you possibly can. Sometimes these articles are
necessary to smooth out the prose or to make something specifically clear. However, often, they’re just filler and can be
safely eliminated if their presence isn’t necessary for clarification. You’d be surprised how many of these words you use–
just getting rid of them can significantly bring down your word count.
Adverbs and adjectives can add incredible colour to your writing, but they can often end up expanding your word count
without adding necessary or beneficial depth. Also try to eliminate redundant words and passages. For example: If you find
a phrase like, “Past history shows that…,” cut past, as anything that is history is in the past. Cutting these singular words
can add up.
What is the difference between being descriptive and critical?
With descriptive writing it is easy to end up not developing an argument (you merely set the background within which an
argument can be developed). Thus it results in representing the situation as it stands, without presenting any analysis or
discussion. Although a certain amount of descriptive writing is needed you need to ensure you provide a balanced
presentation of your own evidence and supported argument, leading to your conclusion. Descriptive writing is relatively
simple. There is also the trap that it can be easy to use many, many words from your word limit, simply providing
description.
In providing only description, you are presenting but not transforming information; you are reporting ideas but not taking
them forward in any way. An assignment using only descriptive writing would therefore gain few marks. With critical
writing you are participating in the academic debate. This is more challenging and risky. You need to weigh up the evidence
and arguments of others, and to contribute your own. You will need to:
• consider the quality of the evidence and argument you have read;
• identify key positive and negative aspects you can comment upon;
• assess their relevance and usefulness to the debate that you are engaging in for your assignment; and
• identify how best they can be woven into the argument that you are developing.
A much higher level of skill is clearly needed for critical writing than for descriptive writing, and this is reflected in the
higher marks it is given.8 8
I am struggling to reach the word limit, do you have any tips?
If you are having trouble meeting their word limit, I would suggest you read more widely, think more critically, and do
more research on the issues.
How do I go about taking a critical approach to the case study?
Being critical does not mean being purely negative (as in the everyday use of the term to 'criticise'). When analysing a case
study you should read the case and assess claims made. You should than make judgments on the basis of well-supported
evidence. Such evidence should come from scholarly sources and therefore requires you to undertake research beyond the
readings allocated for the subject. Below is a sample of some critical writing:
Whilst Cooper (2010) and Karsek (2012) agree that support can moderate stress, others argue that coping
strategies or styles play an important role in an individual's physical and psychological well-being when he or
she is confronted with negative or stressful life events (Endler and Parker 2013) - (considers alternative
views). Support for the effectiveness of cognitive and behavioural strategies has been provided in several
studies. For example, Folkman et al (2013) reported that...(provides evidence). However, a limitation of
these studies is that...(considers a weakness). Other studies employing more robust designs have failed to
support these findings (Amirkhan 2013; Folkman and Lazarus 2013) - (contrasts)
Word limit
Is there any leeway on the word limit?
The word limit is 1,500 words maximum. Work judged to be in excess of the word limit will incur a marking penalty. Work
will be judged as being in excess of the word limit if its length exceeds that word limit by 10% or more. The penalty
incurred will be equal to 5% of the total available marks once the 10% threshold has been reached. A further 5% will be
applied for every additional 10% threshold breach.
What is included in the word limit?
The word limit only applies to the body of your report (from the commencement of your introduction, to the end of your
conclusion). All other material such as the cover sheet, references etc. fall outside the word limit.
Turnitin
How do I upload my assignment to Turnitin?
You can find the link to upload your assignment on UTS Online under the assignments tab.
Can I upload my assignment multiple times to Turnitin?
Yes, students who turn in their work early will have a chance to look at their Originality feedback to see if they've
adequately integrated their sources and then make changes as appropriate before resubmitting by the due date. There is a
24-hour waiting period between report submissions.
Do I need to upload the reference list to Turnitin?
Yes, please upload your the complete submission minus the cover sheet but including the reference list.
Why does Turnitin display a higher word count?
Turnitin it will not discriminate between words included in the body of the report and accompanying material. Turnitin will
therefore provide you with an overall word count that incorporates everything within the document you upload. Do not be
alarmed by this, the teaching staff will be able to manually discriminate between the word count in the body of your report
and that included in the accompanying material.
Do I need to print Originality Report?
No, the teaching staff are able to access the report online.9 9
Referencing and research
Are footnotes allowed?
No, please refrain from using footnotes in this assignment.
Is it recommended to undertake additional research?
Yes, in fact it is expected (see the assessment criteria)
Do I need to research the case organisation?
No, you do not need to research the case organisation. The case study provides an up-close, in-depth, and detailed
examination of the organsiation, as well as its related contextual conditions at a point in time. Your analysis should be
based purely on that point in time.
If we are not required to research the case organisation what sort of research are we meant to do?
The research you undertake should be aimed at supporting and strengthening your analysis. Your report should contain
carefully constructed arguments in the sense that you take a position on each of the issues and support the position with
evidence gathered from the sources you have read, to try to convince the reader of your analysis. The research you
undertake should therefore attempt to understand the issues from different perspectives (i.e. read articles related to the
issues rather than the case organisation) and in relation to the theories, approaches and frameworks found in the literature.
Do we have to reference the case study either in text or in the reference list?
It is not necessary to reference the case study itself, unless you take direct quotes from the case. If you do wish to include
the case as a reference the details are provided below:
In text - (Eccles, Serafeim & Cheng 2013)
Reference list - Eccles, R.G., Serafeim, G., & Cheng, B. 2013, ‘Foxconn Technology Group (A)’, Harvard Business School,
