Group Research Report – Due: Week 11 REQUIREMENTS – Group B Foleo Accessories
GROUP RESEARCH REPORT / BUSINESS PROPOSAL – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
Students will be allocated to groups of five members, with each group being assigned a Foleo entity by their Tutor in Week 3. Each group will be required to submit a comprehensive business proposal for their assigned business unit or the parent company, which will support Foleo’s corporate-level strategy for expansion. Students who fail to arrange group membership by Week 5 will NOT be eligible to take part in this assessment task.
To complete this task, students are expected to conduct their own research into their assigned entity’s specific industry as well as the academic literature. Students should also research all released Case Study chapters along with the in-class materials for relevant information regarding their assigned business unit and/or the company as a whole. NB: Each Foleo entity will have a different market and students need to research the real world’s relevant industry and academic literature to produce a viable proposal for their assigned business unit or the parent company. Therefore, each proposal must be supported by references to at least one academic journal in addition to other reliable sources of information.
Each business proposal should follow the prescribed “Strategy for Growth” and include all the requirements outlined in the relevant “Scope of Proposal” for the assigned Foleo entity. Students should also note that the proposed initiative must not only be consistent with the business type, but also with the current competitive strategy of the assigned Foleo entity, and must not negatively impact other business units within the Foleo Group.
Proposals are expected to be presented as a formal report to the Board, and as such, should comply with the following structure:
i. Title Page
ii. Abstract / Executive Summary
iii. Table of Contents
iv. Introduction
v. Body
vi. Conclusion and Recommendation
vii. Appendices
viii. List of References
Proposals must be:
• no more than twelve (12) pages in length, including tables, figures and appendices, but excluding title page, abstract/executive summary, table of contents and list of references
• presented in Times New Roman font size 12
• presented with 2.5 cm margins and 1.5 line spacing
• comprehensive and to the point – excessive verbosity, lack of precision or poor writing skill will affect the grade
• properly referenced in accordance with the Harvard Referencing System (the referencing guide can be found on iLearn)
Each proposal will receive a mark out of 100, which will be converted to the weighting for this assessment item (i.e. 7.5%). This grade will be available to all group members according to their agreed contribution percentage. Each submission will be assessed based on the criteria contained on the Group Assessment Coversheet found on iLearn.
One electronic version of each group’s proposal (excluding the coversheet) must be submitted to Turnitin (plagiarism detection software) via the provided link on iLearn BEFORE 9am Monday 18 May (Week 11). Students are also required to submit a completed Group Assessment Coversheet (available on iLearn) to their tutors at the beginning of Week 11 tutorial. Late submissions will NOT be accepted (NB: the submission link will be deactivated after the deadline). Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be penalised, so it is in student’s best interests to submit their own original work. Please note that only one submission per group is permitted, so members within groups must agree on who will submit their proposal.
In Week 7 groups are required to submit a Group Progress Report which must address the following criteria:
1. The product/service/business your group suggested to support the growth strategy
2. The ‘real-life’ company you have selected to support your group’s proposal
3. Completeness status of the group report
4. Number of meetings held between the group members
5. Individual contributions of members up to that point
6. Your strategies and plans that are to be followed in order to complete the report until the submission date Submission of this report is mandatory and failure to submit will impact the final grade awarded to the group’s proposal.
