    Assessment item 1: Presentation (Group)
     
    Completion of assignment will familiarise you with this course’s performance requirements and feedback process, preparing you for the submission of your second assignment, which carries a higher weighting.
     
     
     
    2

     
    Task
     
    As a group, prepare a presentation (and a written summary) arguing a position in relation to one of the following topics from the first half of the semester:
     
    •       Managing cultures
     
    •       Leadership
     
    •       Managing individuals
     
    •       Managing teams and groups Discuss the following statement:
    The practices in [your chosen topic area] have changed in the post-bureaucratic era.
     
    Note: Your group will be formed at the start of the semester during your tutorial. Each group will consist of 5 – 6 students who will be required to work together and allocate assignment tasks amongst yourselves.
     
    Group Presentation (10/25 marks – 40%)
     
    Assessment of the group presentation will mainly consist of two components – content quality (5 marks) and delivery style (5 marks) . Each student will be required to present the part of the group presentation allocated to him/her by the group. Attendance is compulsory and if you miss your pitch without prior approval from your tutor or the course coordinator then you will be awarded a ZERO mark for this component.
     
    Each group presentation will last for a minimum of six minutes and a maximum of 10 minutes. You must divide the time amongst yourselves in such a manner that each member gets at least one minute and the entire content is presented in a coherent manner. Students are welcome to use a variety of presentation mediums including paper-charts, Powerpoint and Prezi. Reading from palm cards or hand-held devices is discouraged, as it may inhibit the flow of presentation. Content must be of a high quality and presented in a succinct and clear manner whereas delivery style will be assessed based on time management, verbal and non-verbal (expressions and body language) skills and appropriate use of presentation medium.
     
    Written Summary (15/25 marks – 60%)
     
    The summary of 400 words (+/- 10%) (not including your title page or reference list) will be assessed on the basis of written expression, coherence, conceptual arrangement of ideas and formatting.
     
    The summary should include the following sections:
     
    Title page: Include word count, names and student numbers of all group members, contribution percentages of teach team member, a "TEAM LEADER" name and email address for correspondence, name of lecturer and class time.
     
    Introduction: (set the context by presenting your overall topic, take a position and mention selected references you plan to use to demonstrate your overall argument).
     
    Body: Discuss your argument within the context of the literature. Discuss new insights/practices that have emerged and the underlying assumptions of these insights/practices. Compare and contrast the arguments and assumptions embedded in your different source materials (i.e. managerialism vs. Critical Management Studies or stakeholder perspectives). Approach the topic from different perspectives; whose voices are dominant or missing, what are the implications and what are the new emerging questions?
     
     
     
    3

     
    Conclusion: Briefly summarise your argument to draw a concluding thesis statement.
     
    References: Present a reference list with least four references from quality sources, ensure they are formatted according to Harvard UTS conventions and that referencing is consistent throughout the report.
     
    Layout
     
    Your summary should be printed on one side of A4 paper only. Double space your text and use 2.5 centimetre margins. The text should be in a 12-point Times New Roman font and left- justified. Pages should be numbered, with the numbers appearing in the bottom right hand corner of the pages.
     
    Submission
     
    Written summaries should be submitted via Turnitin by 9 PM on Saturday the 7th of May. A group leader should be tasked with uploading the assignment. Each member of the group must sign a group assignment cover sheet indicating the percentage of work each student has contributed to the overall assignment. Group presentations will be made in the tutorial on May 9th.
     
     
    Note: Further guidance on the process and structure of writing an essay is provided with an example on pages 10 to 12 of this guide.
     
    Assessment item 2: Essay (Individual)
     
    Your second assignment will build upon your presentation and will consist of two parts: constructing an essay, and responding to your tutor’s feedback from your group presentation and summary.
     
    Task
     
    Part 1: Essay
     
    Write an academic essay of 1500 words (+/-10%) in which you further develop the arguments of your group presntation by applying them within the context of one of the topics from the second half of the semester:

    •       Globalisation
     
    •       Managing communication
     
    •       Managing knowledge, innovation and change
     
    Discuss the following statement:
     
    Practices of [your chosen topic area for essay one] contribute to managing [your chosen topic area from essay two] in the post-bureaucratic era.
     
    Introduction
     
    Your essay will start with a 200 (+/- 10%) word introduction presenting your overall topic, take a position and explain how you plan to use your selected references to demonstrate your overall argument, providing an overview of the structure of the entire essay.

    (1100 words +/- 10%)
     
    In the body of the essay you are to present the structure of your argument in different paragraphs. Each paragraph should present one main idea of your argument but be linked to the preceding and following paragraphs with appropriate transitions. Discuss new insights/practices that have emerged and the underlying assumptions of these insights/practices. Compare and contrast the arguments and assumptions embedded in your different source materials (i.e. managerialism vs. Critical Management Studies or stakeholder perspectives). Approach the topic from different perspectives; whose voices are dominant or missing, what are the implications and what are the new emerging questions?
     
    Conclusion
     
    Finish your essay with a 200 (+/- 10%) word conclusion summarising your overall argument and explaining how your references have contributed to your position.
     
    References
     
    Select at least six sources from the tutorial readings and prescribed additional readings listed in your Tutorial Guide. Supplement your argument with at least two references from other relevant quality journal articles. Illustrate your arguments by cases from the lectures or relevant reports from reputable media outlets as secondary sources. You may also draw material from the recommended textbook by Clegg, Kornberger and Pitsis (2016). Provide a complete reference list at the end of your essay.
     
    Part 2: Reflective response to Tutor’s Feedback from Assignment 1.

     
    Your second task is to write a response of approximately 200 words (+/-10%), to the feedback your tutor provided for your group presentation. You may want to break your response down into chunks by providing section headings. Explain, how you have used this feedback to improve the argument and presentation of your essay. Part two should be presented on a new page after the reference list from your essay.
     
    Layout
     
    Your essay and reflections should be printed on one side of A4 paper only. Double space your text and use 2.5 centimetre wide margins. The text should be in a 12-point Times New Roman font and left-justified. Pages should be numbered, with the numbers appearing in the bottom right hand corner of the pages.

    ASSESSMENT AND EXPECTATIONS
     
    A central aim for this subject is to develop your skills in critical and analytical thinking within the context of management and organisations. A fundamental mechanism through which such thinking is developed and demonstrated is through writing: particularly in the format of an extended academic essay.
     
    GUIDANCE ON THE REQUIRED FORMAT OF THE ACADEMIC ESSAYS
     
    An academic essay must have:
     
    1.      An explicit argument that answers a basic premise or question:
     
    An academic essay is not merely a summary of what has already been written on a subject. It is, instead, a presentation of your argument, supported by academic sources, on the specific question set. You should tell the reader in your Introduction very clearly what your answer will be and tell them how your essay is to be structured to present your answer.
     
    For example, if you had been asked a question on whether strong management can prevent fraudulent business practices, your opening sentence might look something like this: ‘In this essay I am going to argue that fraudulent business practices happen because of, not despite, ‘strong management’. I am going to suggest that, in part, the pressure put upon employees by their managers can generate a culture where corners are cut and proper checks and balances are not carried out. I conclude that stronger management,
     
     
     
    10

     
    therefore, may not be the solution to ending corporate fraud’.
     
    2.      An argument that has a clear, logical structure:
     
    Having told the reader in the Introduction explicitly what your answer to the question is, your essay should be logically structured to develop your argument. Organise the main part of your essay into three or four sections. Tell the reader in your Introduction what these sections are, and link these sections to your overall argument. Remind the reader at the start of each new section how the argument is progressing. For further details on developing a critical review and writing assessments see the following links:
     
    •        Critical review: http://www.elssa.uts.edu.au/resources/research/critical.html
     
    •        Guide to writing assessments: http://www.business.uts.edu.au/teaching/guide/guide.pdf
     
    3.      Evidence of substantial and relevant reading:
     
    To pass Assessment 1 your essay must provide at least 6 references and for essay 2 you must provide at least 8, making extensive use of the:
     
    •        the readings/articles listed in the ‘tutorial guidelines and readings’
     
    •        other pertinent references given to you in lectures
     
    •        relevant ideas from the recommended text book.
     
     代写 MANAGING PEOPLE & ORGANISATIONS assignment
    4.      A Conclusion:
     
    All work needs to have a conclusion that summarises the arguments put forward in your essay and how these arguments have answered the question(s) set. Have conviction in your arguments. Avoid conclusions that end with ‘it depends’ or ‘this needs more research’.
     
    5.      References:
     
    An academic essay must be supported by many references to published academic work. For this subject your main references must be the tutorial readings and additional readings listed in the tutorial guide. Be sure to acknowledge fully any references or quotes you have used using the Harvard UTS reference style: e.g. (Roberts, 1984). Further information on the Harvard UTS reference style is found in the Faculty of Business Guide to Writing Assignments available online: http://www.lib.uts.edu.au/help/referencing/harvard-uts-referencing-guide. Your essay must also have a Reference list, which is an alphabetical list of the full publication details of all the items you have explicitly referenced in your work, referenced according to Harvard UTS conventions (i.e. do not use bullet points for your reference list and ensure that you use a hanging indent – with the first line flush left with the margin and subsequent lines indented the same width as a paragraph indent).
     
     
    Examples of essay introductions/paragraphs
     
     
     
    11

     
    The following sample essay introductory paragraphs were written by Professor Edward Wray Bliss for MPO, and are provided ONLY to illustrate how to write your introduction. These paragraphs are NOT based on the essay questions.
     
    Example 1:
     
    In this essay, I am going to argue that work can certainly be a source of satisfaction and joy for individuals. Indeed, as I demonstrate in Section One, by drawing on Rosen (1988), Clegg et al (2008) and others, managers of modern corporations are explicitly encouraged to design the workplace and motivate employees so that these employees find satisfaction and enjoyment at work. However, work is also a source of dissatisfaction and suffering too and I draw upon Jackall (1988), Knights and Roberts (1982), and Morgan (2006) in Section Two to show the anxiety, subordination and domination that may also describe the experience of work for managerial and non-managerial employees alike. Rather than leave the question here, in Section Three I attempt to explore, conceptually, why work produces such experiences and emotions for individuals. Drawing upon Jackson and Carter (2000) and O’Doherty (2006), I consider the strong link between work and personal identity. Summarising my overall arguments in the Conclusion I illustrate, with the example of Ackroyd and Crowdy (1990), just how complex the relationship between identity, work, and an individual’s striving for satisfaction and personal meaning can be.
     
    Example 2:
     
    In this essay, I am going to argue that it is important to study management and organisation critically for two key reasons. First, it is important to do so because the scope and reach of management and organisation is such that it affects all aspects of our social, economic and cultural life. Second, because the controls that exist at present in large commercial organisations may not be sufficient to prevent negative effects occurring in each of these contexts. In Section One I shall demonstrate the first point with reference both to the role of management and organisation in the current global economic crisis and also through discussing the writings of Morgan (2006) and Klein (2001), explore the effects and outcomes of corporate power in different spheres. In Section Two, I shall use Milgram’s (1974) experiments on obedience and authority and Jackall’s (1988) study of corporate management, to argue that there are processes at work in large organisations that can inhibit employees, and even senior managers, from reflecting upon and being responsible for their organisation’s behaviour. These two points, I suggest, make it imperative that we look critically at management and organisation. In the final section of this essay, I shall consider just what ‘looking critically’ means. I will argue, in opposition to Parker (2002), that being critical in this context is not the same as being ‘against management’, but is instead a commitment to better organisation and better management, a commitment to an idea of organisation where its powerful potential, as envisaged by Knights and Roberts (1982), is realised.
     
     
    Guidelines for submitting assessments using ‘Turnitin’
     
    Your essays must be submitted electronically using the ‘Turnitin’ program on UTSOnline (under the assignment tab on the MPO page) by 9pm on the due date. Essays submitted late will lose an automatic 10 marks per day.
     
     
     
     
    12

     
    Turnitin will also produce a plagiarism report that will be available to your tutor when they mark your work. The report will indicate any passages in your essay that are not original. You are welcome to submit earlier versions of your essay to Turnitin to help you to modify your essay. The second time you submit your essay to the system, however, it will be at least 24 hours before Turinitin will give you your report.
     
    As a guide, if your overall Turnitin score is over 25%, please ensure that you revise your essay. If you do not revise, you could face severe penalties and may be referred to the Dean of Teaching and Learning.
     
    You must not submit anybody else’s essays except your own to Turnitin for any reason. Also, please do not, under any circumstances, think that you can present somebody else’s unreferenced writing in your essay as your own – whether this is from previous student’s essays, material you have found on the web, or elsewhere. The penalties for plagiarism are extremely severe and all cases will be referred to the Dean of Teaching and Learning.
     
     
    GRADING ASSESSMENT
     
    Your assignments will be graded according to the criterion indicated in the marking rubrics on pages 15-18 below. When assessing your essays, each of the criteria considered - along with your understanding of the subject, lectures and readings, and your ability for critical, questioning thought.
     
    In addition to the above instructions and guidelines, your tutors will talk you through the process of assessment and will provide feedback on your two assessment submissions.
     
     
    Grade categories
     
    High Distinction             85 per cent and above
     
    Distinction                        75 per cent to 84 per cent
     
    Credit                                   65 per cent to 74 per cent
     
    Pass                                      50 per cent to 64 per cent
     
    Fail (Z)                                 Less than 50 per cent
     
     
    Please see the UTS Guide to Writing Assignments for full details on these grade categories. All forms of assessment must be attempted and an overall mark of 50% or more must be achieved to pass this course.
     
     
    EXTENSIONS AND LATE ASSIGNMENTS
     
     
     
     
     
    13

     
    Essays submitted after the due time/date will incur late penalties as listed below. Late submissions will not incur the late penalties listed, only if the tutor or Subject Coordinator has granted a formal extension of time. This extension should be approved BEFORE the submission deadline and will only be approved in exceptional circumstances (normally on grounds of ill health or misadventure). Work submitted more than 5 days after the stated submission date will not be accepted for assessment unless the Subject Coordinator, on receipt of a Special Consideration form, has granted a formal extension of time.
     
    The Management Discipline Group has the following policy regarding the late submission of assessments WITHOUT an approved extension:
     
    Late assignments submitted without an extension will accrue a penalty of 10% per day, based on the total value of the assignment. For example, if an assignment is worth 40%, the late penalty will result in a deduction of 4 marks per day the assignment is late. Marks will be deducted as full points off the awarded mark. Late penalties are applied up to a maximum of five (5) days after the due date (i.e. the maximum late penalty is 50%). Assignments submitted more than 5 days late will receive a mark of zero (0).
     
     
    Applying for extensions
     
    If you are unable to submit your assignment on time due to illness or misadventure, and require an extension of less than one week, you should submit your supporting documentation and request an extension by emailing your tutor well before the hand-in deadline of the essay. If you require more than a one-week extension, please submit an application for ‘Special Consideration’ to the Subject Coordinator with relevant supporting documentation attached, prior to the due date of the assessment.
     
    The extension application form is available through the Student Administration Offices or may be downloaded at: http://www.sau.uts.edu.au/forms/index.html
     
     
    REMARKING
     
    To maintain consistency between the tutorials, the subject coordinator moderates the marks prior to releasing the marked scripts back to the students. However, if you have concerns regarding your marked assessment, please email your tutor for an appointment to discuss your concerns. Before meeting with your tutor, you must email your tutor a detailed request explaining precisely which criteria of the grading sheet and elements of feedback you disagree with or have questions on. Your tutors will not be able to discuss your concerns unless such a document has been submitted to them.
     
    If you are unable to come to an agreement about your final assessment mark with your tutor, then you may request an appointment with the co-coordinator, Ace Simpson, to consider whether to have your assignment allocated to another tutor for remarking. Please be aware that remarking your assessment may result in, 1) retaining the same mark, 2) increasing the mark or 3) reducing the mark.

    ASSIGNMENT 1 – GROUP COVER SHEET
     
    21129 –Managing People and Organisations
     
    The group’s name: _______________________________________________
     
    Tutor’s name: _______________________________________________
     
    Class date and time: ______________________________________________
     
    Please have each member of the team read, complete and sign this form. The team must decide if each person contributed fully to the assignment. This includes: attending meetings, providing information as requested, completing tasks as expected, contributing equally to the projects outcomes, and so on.
     
    For example: Let’s say John is a member of the group and he did all the tasks required, contributed equally and fairly, then he would be allocated 100% of the marks. If all group members also contributed equally, then each person is allocated 100% of the final mark. However, let’s say John hardly turned up, rarely responded to the group, and tried to free ride on the groups efforts he would be awarded anywhere between 0% to 99% of the final mark depending on how much effort he contributed. The less effort the lower the percentage of marks allocated to John. If the rest of the group worked hard they would all receive 100% of the mark.

    Team member name and Student ID Role: What did this person % of final Student’s Signature
      do? (sections, roles etc.) mark  
           
           
           
           
           

    Please note that adherence to the UTS policy on plagiarism and truth in writing is mandatory. By placing your name on this sheet you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy and the penalties involved with plagiarism (which include expulsion from the course or from the degree and UTS depending on severity of plagiarism).
