Assessment: Although this assessment task requires you to develop a PowerPoint presentation (converted to PDF), groups are not required to present in class. The document of the presentation (including both components explained below), needs to be submitted before the deadline of the assessment. The audience for your presentation is a senior executive who wants to understand how Qantas Airlines made business decisions regarding their resumption of service once Australia's air space became open to travel again. The brief will suggest ways to improve, if any.
Your presentation will have two components:
1. Elegant and clean slides to focus the attention of the executive for whom this slide presentation is designed.
2. A notes pages that is well referenced and robustly populated with quality data.
- Very professional notes will need to be included in each slide supporting the content of the slide
- These notes should include in text citations
- Your tutor will explain this assessment in more detail during first weeks, and will provide examples. Please feel free to ask questions during the session.
Case study (items in drop-down list; there are more resources on Qantas in the Reading List)
The modules leading up to this assessment will help you focus on the human aspects of business decisions Qantas Airways made during 2022. In your presentation, your job will be to establish what Qantas' options were, why you think they made the decisions they did (based on academic reasoning) and outline what you think they could have done differently. You will conclude with 'lessons learned' for other companies that may have to deal with punctual, and uncertain, disruptions to their prevailing business model.
You will not be analysing the business case from a financial, economic, or technical perspective but instead, analysing the re-establishment of service of a company which laid off a substantial number of their workforce during the COVID pandemic. You will reflect on stakeholders affected by the resumption of service in line with the topics in weeks 5 - 9.
