Objectives
This assessment item relates to course learning outcomes
numbers 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
Purpose
This is an individual assessment task in which students will
examine and apply critical issues related to business and
management context. The purpose of the task is to assist you in
gaining a greater understanding of the internal contextual
factors that impact on a business and the way that decisions are
made in an organisation.
Before starting this assessment please read the marking criteria
(shown on Moodle, and in the Unit Profile) and refer to other
resources provided on the Moodle site for this course.
Description
Building on the business idea you detailed in Assessment 1
(Part A), you will prepare a report that outlines how your idea
may be impacted by one of the contextual factors discussed in
weeks 6, 7 and 8. This could include potential benefits as well
as possible challenges.
As Masters students, you are required to engage in research as
per the Australia Quality Framework (AQF) guidelines. Two
specific requirements need to be considered. 1. Students need to
demonstrate “a body of knowledge that includes the
understanding of recent developments in a discipline and/or
area of professional practice, and 2. Students must demonstrate
"knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to a
field of work and/or learning”.
This unit has a number of required weekly readings in terms of
academic texts, journals and business publications that
represent the appropriate body of knowledge and recent
developments referred to by the AQF. In order to demonstrate
the ability to engage in appropriate research, students should
read and utilise these texts and journals and publications. As
Masters students, you are expected to research beyond this

4. minimum standard through additional texts, journals and studies
to demonstrate an ability to engage in independent research.
Details
You will prepare a report designed to explain how your business
idea could be improved through better consideration of a chosen
contextual factor. This includes capitalising on the potential
benefits associated with the factor, along with addressing the
potential challenges. You can choose one of the following
contextual factors to have as the main focus of your report:
· Regional Economic Issues OR
· Globalisation OR
· Cross Cultural Management
The course coordinator will provide a video that explains the
requirements of the task in greater detail, along with several
other useful pieces of information about the assignment, and
this video will be made available on the Moodle site.
The marking criteria is also provided on the Moodle site, but is
shown below as well for convenience. Your assessment will be
marked based on how well it addresses the following areas:
Students are to demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter by:
· Defining key terms and utilising the theories and concepts
presented in topics 1-8 (with the specific use of topic 6, 7 or 8).
· Explaining major internal and external contextual factors and
how they affect business structures and strategy.
· Providing well justified and feasible business
recommendations based on the analysis conducted.
· Demonstrating a breadth and quality of research by using a
minimum of 12-16 academic sources.
· Correctly using the APA referencing system to cite academic
sources in-text and in the reference list.
· Correctly using the report structure and using appropriate
conventions of academic writing.
These are the minimum requirements as outlined in the marking

5. criteria available on the moodle site and in the unit profile.
However, students should note that satisfactorily meeting the
minimum requirements will typically only result in the
minimum pass grade being awarded. Higher grades will be
awarded for students that exceed these minimum requirements.
See the marking criteria for further details.

management and business context
it is based on the assesment part 1 that i have already submitted.
in the assesment one i have written about the hotel named salam
namaste restaurant,
i m going to write a short hint for u from my first assignment.
'Organization structure should be made concerning different
factors. If the structure is made haphazardly then it will result
in waste of money and time. Our Salam Namaste restaurant is
operated by various members such as 2 Owners, a General
Manager, 2 Book keepers, Two assistant managers, 5 Chefs, 5
Position Staffs and 3 back staff altogether of 21 members.
These all members should be efficient, caring, effective,
flexible to meet the profit goal of a business.'
this is a restura especiallly targeted for asian people.
please take a hint from these above lines because this is
assesment part two part B which is based on part one.
