Assessment 1: Individual case study report (30%) Overview To comply with the requirements of this assessment each student must complete a case analysis on a case to be advised in Week 2 of the semester and placed on vUWS. The case analysis is comprised of a 1,000 word report, plus appendices. The case analysis is due in Week 8.The case study report must be loaded onto the Turnitin link provided where it will be marked online. The rationale for the case analysis is: To build your skills and knowledge required for analysis and implementation of strategic interventions in various organisational contexts.

To scaffold learning for the Group Assessment i.e. a formative assessment for the Group Report Details As part of the formative assessment, from Weeks 2 to 7 each student will engage in the development of their skills in strategic analysis. The process will involve two key mandatory steps: Attendance and active participation in the mandatory case discussions and group problem- solving (Weeks 2-7). Submission of the case analysis in Week 8 in accordance with this guide. (The purpose of step 1 above is to ensure students attend and engage in group and whole class discussions as part of the learning process – Weeks 2-7). Students prepare an individual business-level case analysis written up in correct report format on an organisation chosen by the unit coordinator. The case study in 2015 is on Netflix.
