Introduction Welcome to the unit of Management and Organisational Behaviour (MGMT5007).

This unit is focused on issues relating to theories on management and organisational behaviour through an appreciation of critical thinking, reflective writing, interdisciplinary, intercultural, international and industry. This unit has a direct relevance to your everyday life as a Business Student and future Business Person. Whilst this unit will attempt to introduce you to theories, concepts, principles, practices and skills that underpin Management, it will also attempt to introduce some aspects of organizational behaviour, which is known to be the study of the mind and behaviour of individuals in an organizational context.

Being focused on critical thinking, reflective writing and industry practices, this unit provides you with the chance to be the activators of your own learning, through your discussions of theories, case studies, videos you watched prior to the workshop, and critically analyse other materials that will be based on real-life industry solutions. Wherever possible, guest speakers will be accommodated in the class to enhance your understanding of the relationship between theory and practice. In this unit emphasis will be on history of management, leadership, strategy, decision making, intercultural and ethical aspects of management. This unit will also provide students the chance to cover, and in depth, the global aspects of management practices. Finally, and most importantly, being interdisciplinary, several theories and practices in this unit span across multiple disciplines like psychology, corporate social responsibility, ethics, human resource management and marketing.

While this unit will take us back to the history of management, it will provide us with the latest patterns in management and organizational behaviour. Several themes addressing important facets of current and future contemporary management and organizational behaviour will be discussed. This unit provides an overarching and introductory perspective to the broad and sophisticated research area and practice fields of management and organizational behaviour. Indeed, as with every other unit in the course, it is an important and distinctive building block in the construction of your management portfolio and qualification.

This unit introduces, creates the platform and sets the scene for the subsequent units that you will engage in for your degree. Recognize, though, that the returns on learning are a function of investment in learning and in this regard you are fully in control and wholly accountable (an explanation will be provided on the Blackboard and in the class as to how the unit will be learned by you). We will create and facilitate an environment that assists you to focus that will prompt your full engagement through debate, reflection, critical thinking and learning. Therefore, your engagement from the first session is extremely vital to allow you progress in this unit through achieving the unit outcomes.

It is VERY important to recognize that this unit needs YOU to work and prepare throughout the semester before and during your attendance of the workshops, so please if you are not prepared to put in the necessary effort or you do not have the time to work and prepare also engage with the material and your classmates, please check with your local instructor or Unit Coordinator at the beginning of the semester for the possibility of opting out from this unit at the earliest.

We are pleased to have you in this Unit and hope that you will enjoy the learning experience and find the unit of practical benefit.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Learning Activities This unit engages learners for 36 hours during the course of the semester, largely premised on a one hour online class (including your preparation for the workshop, your individual and group work which will be evidenced through your activities in the class).

Workshops: The primary vehicle of learning

You, the students, are the MAIN PLAYERS in these workshops. These workshops are theme-specific, as indicated in the program calendar, commencing with introductory subjects of a more general nature such as critical thinking, reflective writing, report writing, individual values and behaviour, the basic, constituting functions of management and the role of context i.e. environment and the embedded nature of management. Workshops are sequenced and become progressively more specific e.g. from a consideration of managerial ethics in a general sense, to the specifics of individuals values, including motivating and leading subordinates. A workshop is typically building on the material available on the blackboard including the videos, publishers' slides, the peer-reviewed journal articles recommended for that week and other materials that would become available onto the blackboard as we go through the semester. Thus, this workshop will be structured around learning opportunities during which these concepts, theories, and theoretical constructs relevant to the theme of the day can be interpreted and applied to practical settings. These learning opportunities include activities such as identification of relevant theories in relation to the topic of the day, problem-based case studies, or simulations or work samples designed to surface/reveal key theoretical principles and perspectives -- mostly undertaken in a team setting. Experiential exercises or self-administered instrumentation with feedback are regularly utilised. Though, we are confident that this might not be the case, however, in case students fail to prepare for the weekly workshop it will be difficult for those students to cope with the requirements of that workshop - simply they might feel lost. So, the one-hour online should be done prior to the attendance of the weekly workshop, otherwise it will hamper your learning and will have a negative impact on your classmates and group members.

Underlying all learning activities is the thrust to develop an internalized understanding of the relevant management theory and to constantly relate this to managerial practice in a variety of settings. The online class and the workshop will provide a multifaceted platform for the learning and discussion of current management theory and contemporary issues in the field of organizational behaviour and management. Probing discussion is encouraged and a culture of open and exploratory engagement of the subject among all students and the lecturer is actively encouraged.

Reinforcement of learning occurs through learners revisiting core content as embodied in lecture slides and

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. INDIVIDUAL: Critical and Reflective reading and writing (30%)

For this assessment, you are required to write a critical and reflective review on TWO readings provided by your unit coordinator using the template and further information available on the Blackboard. This assessment will be based on the criteria that are derived from the reviewer’s guide to Peer-reviewed Journal articles by Emerald:

1. Originality

2. Relationship to Literature

3. Methodology

4. Results

5. Implications and significance of this work

6. Quality of Communication

7. Overall conclusion by you

8. What did I learn from this exercise - your reflective piece supported by sources (e.g. peer-reviewed journal articles)

9. References

You will be required to provide your overall conclusion on the two articles, followed by your reflection on your experience of reading and critically analysing these two articles. Being an academic assessment the assessment will follow the Chicago 16 style referencing (in-text citation and some 12 peer-reviewed journal articles in the reference list). The use of Wikipedia is not permitted in any shape or form in your academic writing for this unit. It is not only the number of peer-reviewed sources that will be assessed but the method those sources were incorporated and linked together in support of your arguments.

Submission of this assessment: The assessment needs to be between 1,500 - 2,000 words +/-10%, where your reflective piece, any appendices you might feel need to be attached, and your reference list will be considered outside the word count. In line with Curtin Policy, you will need to submit this assessment ONLINE through turnitin that is embedded in the blackboard. Submissions through e-mail, or hard copies placed in the pigeon hole ARE UNACCEPTABLE, and penalty of late submission will apply immediately.

Please ensure that the DECLARATION available at the end of this unit outline, and on the blackboard is added at the beginning of your assessment presentation including this one. Failing to add this DECLARATION will make you subject to penalty.

BACKGROUND ON THE ASSESSMENT AND THE ASSESSMENT TOPIC - those will become available on the blackboard later in the semester.

This assessment will need to be submitted in the form of a REPORT.

A template for this assessment available on the blackboard, however, as a guide your report should include the following sections:

1. Transmittal Letter

2. Executive Summary

3. Introduction

4. Background and Literature

5. Methodology

6. Results

7. Analysis and discussion

8. Conclusion and recommendation

9. Your personal reflection on your journey of research and write up with sources/references included.

10. References

11. Appendices (if applicable)

This report should be about 3,000 words +/- 10%. Please note that the executive summary, your reflective account, appendices and the reference list are not included in this word count.

The report must conform to the guidelines for written assessments as well as to rigorous academic standards, especially with regards to referencing. You will be assessed on the quality and the way you use these sources, how well you have used these resources to support your arguments, and your referencing skills. We encourage students to use more than one source to support an argument. You need to adhere to the requirements of Chicago 16 style referencing for in-text citation and reference list to acknowledge your sources. You are expected to use a diverse base of sources, though at the postgraduate level, you do not need us to specify how many sources you need to use, and what is the caliber of these sources, however, in order to assist you, please note that you are expected to have included at least 18 sources 75% of these sources need to be peer-reviewed journal articles others to be derived from other sources that you might find useful for the specific purpose of this report (e.g. books, professional magazines, government websites, stock exchange websites etc...). The use of Wikipedia is not permitted in any shape or form in your academic writing for this unit.

This report will be submitted ONLINE through the turnitin embedded in the blackboard.

Please ensure that the DECLARATION available at the end of this unit outline and on the blackboard is added at the beginning of your assessment presentation including this one. Failing to add this DECLARATION will make you subject to penalty.

3. PRESENTATION (35%)

This assessment has two components, part A is a group presentation (20%), and part B is a group report (15%).

Part A (20%): You are to make a formal presentation in a group of a maximum of four students on ONE assigned case study (from the list below) to the entire class during Weeks 7 – 11 of your semester. These cases can be found in the prescribed textbook. You are to present your solutions to the case study questions at the end of the case. One of the following cases would be randomly assigned to groups for the semester:

Case Study 1 (Page 59) – GM’s New CEO, Mary Barra, must manage a major recall

Case Study 2 (Page 97) – Target CEO works to regain consumer trust after the company was hacked

Case Study 3 (Page 317) – Companies use tracking devices to help make decisions

Case Study 4 (Page 517) – IDEO’s culture reinforces helping behaviour

Case Study 5 (Page 593) – More companies rely on proactive human resource practices to reduce employee turnover





Your presentation is to last 30 minutes (maximum). You should first summarise the case study and then present the solutions to the case questions. Please note that you are NOT ALLOWED to simply read out any part of the presentation from palm-notes/slides or other reference material as you are being assessed on your presentation skills and not your reading abilities. In addition, you are to distribute a one page (double sided) handout of the solutions to each individual in the class. Classroom discussion is deeply encouraged after the presentation to facilitate understanding of the case study. You could either use PowerPoint or overhead projector facility to illustrate your solutions (depending on availability in the classroom).

Although you will be presenting as a group, you will be marked individually based on the set marking criteria (see Blackboard). It is your responsibility as a group that the workload is distributed evenly among the presenters.

Feedback on the presentations: Students are required to attend ALL presentations (and not just their own) and participate in the discussions that ensue from the presentations. Please inform your unit coordinator/lecturer/tutor via email if you are unable to attend a presentation and provide reasons for the same. Students, as part of the audience, will participate in the marking and feedback process. On the day, you will be provided with the marking criteria for you to provide marks and any comments. These will be taken in account by the Unit Coordinator/Lecturer when finalising the feedback and your group’s mark. You will be provided with feedback (based on the marking criteria that can be accessed through the blackboard) from your Unit Coordinator/Lecturer (Bentley) and your Local Lecturers (Offshore campuses) through the blackboard under 'My Grades'.

Part B (15%): Based on the above oral presentation, students have to prepare and submit a written report on the same question the student has performed a presentation. The written essay for this assessment must be fully cited and referenced (approximately eight to ten references) and the expected length is approximately 1500 words including the in-text referencing (12 point font with 1.5 line spacing). The Chicago referencing system should be used in preparing your written responses, and a reference list should be supplied. Submission of all Written Assignments through Turnitin on the day of the presentation.

All written assessments will be submitted online via Turnitin on Blackboard, hard copy submissions of assessments will not be accepted (unless specified by your Lecturer). Submission links are located under the Assessment link in the Navigation Panel on the left side of the screen in Blackboard. Following this link may also give you the option to upload a draft copy of each assessment to Turnitin prior to your final submission. If you choose to upload a draft (referred to in Turnitin as a “Revision”), Turnitin will generate a feedback report to help you pinpoint any referencing issues, thus providing you with the opportunity to make changes before uploading your final submission.

Pass requirements

Students must FULLY attempt all assessments and achieve a Final Mark of 50 or greater to pass this unit.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each semester.

Referencing style

The referencing style for this unit is Chicago.

More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: http://libguides.library.curtin.edu.au/referencing.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 06/02/2017 to 17/02/2017 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.
