Assessment Group consultant's report in business report format
Purpose: You will be provided with a real-life case study of a large business facing difficult business conditions and a lack of understanding about how the use of IT/IS and E-commerce, in particular, can assist them in driving their business forward. Your task as an external consultant is to produce a business report to show the CEO and other members of senior management how the use of E-commerce can restore their business to competitiveness.
The senior management has made it clear to you that your brief is to describe the capabilities of currently-available E-commerce applications that would be appropriate to their business operations and situation. They are looking for an initial report which would provide them with an understanding of a possible way forward and as such a detailed technical systems specification or financial cost-benefit analysis is not part of your current brief. This assessment contributes to learning outcomes b. c and d.
Assessment topic: Group consultant's report in business report format
Task Details: The details of the case studies and requirements will be provided in Moodle in week 6. Students will form into teams of 3 or 4 within the same tutorial group. They will choose one case study among 6 other case study options, two groups will not have the same case study. Marking for each team member will be awarded for team participation based on their Group Work Activity Report.
Assessment Group Work Activity Report
Each group will provide a group work report on how the group has worked together to produce the consultant's report. It should not contain the main deliverables of the consultant's report. Each group will document how members discuss and agree, the division of responsibilities and describe how individual efforts capitalised on the strengths of each group member. It will be used as evidence of individual contributions in the group. It is therefore in each member's interest to ensure that their contribution to the final report is complete.
Each group is expected to have at least three group meetings for the group assignment. The minutes of group meetings should be documented and attached as an appendix of this group work report, clearly indicating who was present, issues and actions. agreed timelines. and the like. The group work report must indicate that a fair and reasonable distribution of work amongst group members was achieved. Periodic information such as emails or diary entries must be inserted into the correct section in chronological order.
If the submitted group work report suggests that not all contributions were of equivalent standard and effort, differential marks will be awarded to individuals within the same group. It must also document what individual group members understood as their allocated tasks. that individual group members submitted allocated work of acceptable standard and quality by the date that was agreed upon.
