Assignment overview

The purpose of this assignment is to challenge you to apply OB concepts to real-life issues/problems. You should try to capture one or more organisational behaviour issue/dilemmas/challenges faced by management in a real organisational setting, and come up with alternative approaches to solving

issues and problems based on sound reasoning and support of relevant OB theory and best practice.

 

Assignment 2 is a team assignment. The teams are made up of four to five students and you will use a team discussion board to collaborate. There is a discussion in Week 4 where you can allocate yourself to a team. Your ELA will ensure that you know how to access your team discussion board once the teams are formed.

Working as a team to produce this report will provide you with an opportunity to hone your teamwork skills. These skills are directly transferable to workplace environments where individual and team accountability is expected.

 

This assignment supports unit learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

 

Assignment details

As a team of four to five students, you will draw on your understanding of Organisational Behaviour (OB) theory and apply it to a case study. The five cases form the basis for this assignment. You are required to choose one of them, as a team, and produce a report drawing on two or three of the OB theories you have covered during this unit. You can access them via the link below:

Case studies (PDF 136 KB)  (Swinburne Online n.d.)

 

You should thoroughly research the issues you consider relevant to the case and link them to associated OB theories providing recommendations.

Your report should cover the following items:

• Why this particular case was chosen for your report.
• An overview of the case study.
• A summary of the major OB-related issues involved in this case.
• An explanation of these issues and recommendations for processes and procedures to avoid a reoccurrence (supported by relevant OB concepts and theories).

The team charter you developed during the Week 6 activity is an essential part of establishing a common focus for this task. It should be appended to your report to attract an automatic 5% of the overall mark for this assignment.

Please note: the team charter is not included in the word count for this assignment.

Criteria	No Pass	Pass 50-59%	Credit 60-69%	Distinction 70-79%	High Distinction 80-100%
A critical analysis (30%)	Did not meet the criterion.	The writing is largely descriptive with statements of theories provided. Critical analysis requires greater analysis of the applicability of these theories and considerations to the particular case study, so this needs to be evident. Information from more relevant and reliable sources could be presented, so that greater points of view/approaches are presented.	The relevant theories are correctly identified, defined and applied to the case study example. There is some comparative evaluation. The writing questions some assumptions in the literature. It identifies several relevant contexts when presenting a position.	The report demonstrates the ability to construct an issues statement based on the relevant theories with evidence provided by the most relevant contextual factors. However, the issues statement could be more complex.	The issues statement is complex and complete. The writing ably demonstrates the attributes of critical reading, critical thinking and analysis through the report’s structure and the way it is supported and illustrated.
