Instruction:
Assessment 1 requires students to study, analyse, and interpret the information available in the public domain about two very different companies - one a For Profit business and the other a For Purpose (usually referred to as NFP or Not For Profit) organisation.
The task is to:
- Identify the differences between the two organisations in terms of their size, scale, industry context, service offering, and customer segments.
- Outline roles, responsibilities, and workflows that are required to facilitate the smooth operations of both case organisations.
- Consider the kind of resources and processes these organisations need; where these resources and processes are going to be located and how they are going to be controlled. Get online assignment help to achieve academic success!
- Finally, review their respective organisational structures, and explain why these organisations design their operations the way they are, given the preceding analysis.
- In their answers, students will also include simplified diagrams of the two organisational structures.
- Use relevant management and organisational theory from the Learning material to support their analysis. This should be sourced from Week 1-5 Readings, relevant Chapters from the Text, library research, etc.
Details of case studies, links to resources, and Assessment Task requirements will be shared on vUWS and/or provided in class.
