The Academic Skills Centre Blackboard site has some useful resources to help you develop your skills in referencingand paraphrasing (and hence avoiding plagiarism). There is also information about how to use Turnitin.

Introduction

Welcome to the introductory management unit. For many of you, the

concepts will be quite new, while for some of you, the ideas explored willhelp you to understand why your managers behave in the way they do.

Hopefully, during the semester you will formulate your own views onhow organisations operate, and how you can equip yourself to managepeople better.

Jalleh Sharafizad

Management is a complex and often controversial subject. Organisations both large and small need to innovate,

challenge the traditional assumptions and be prepared to confront the status quo. Organisational leaders are being

presented with a vast array of new opportunities in the ever-changing global economy.

Management 1100 provides you with an introduction to fundamental management concepts and principles. The course

covers the evolution of management theory and examines a range of different approaches to the study of management.

A detailed analysis of management functions is conducted in order to familiarise you with current management practices.

Each week of the course addresses a core management topic such as human resource management, decision-making

or leadership. The unit also examines a number of contemporary issues that are questioning traditional managerial

prerogatives.

The course draws on multi-disciplinary sources including economics, psychology, sociology and organisational

behaviour. A broad range of concepts is introduced across the semester that will provide you with an overview of this

field of study.

Unit objectives

The objective of the course is to provide you with both knowledge and some of the skills necessary to operatesuccessfully in a managerial capacity.

A key skill of managers is critical inquiry. While this course will reflect on the historical and contemporary scholarlyexamination of management, you will be encouraged to challenge and question assumptions, develop an awareness ofthe environment in which managerial decision-making occurs and seek alternative explanations to the major questionsfacing organisations.





Managing within organisations requires individuals to be able to manage themselves. Students are therefore expected todevelop astute personal organisation skills with regard to their study habits. Professional standards are expected at alltimes throughout the unit.

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

describe key management concepts and principles using contemporary Australian examples;

discuss the impact of changes in management theory on approaches to managing;

describe contemporary management functions;

critique contemporary views on managerial prerogative, and

evaluate the impact of increasing stakeholder involvement on organisations and their managers

Expectations of lecturers and students

This unit is conducted in accordance with the Student Charter (available at: http://www.ecu.edu.au/prospectus/charter/).Lecturers and students must all be mindful of common courtesies such as timely arrival to class, notification of absence,ensuring mobile phones are switched off, and allowing each person the opportunity to contribute and to gain as much aspossible from the unit.

Teaching and learning approach

The unit consists of a one and a half hour seminar/lecture and one and a half hour tutorial weekly over one semester

(total of 3 hours per week). All teaching and unit materials will be provided to the students on Black Board. Students areexpected to devote another 3 to 6 hours per week of study in order to be successful in this unit.

You will be required to submit work to your tutor during the semester. The tutor will return your work within two weeks,with a mark and feedback indicating how well you have understood the topic. You are encouraged to discuss thisfeedback with your tutor so that you have a sound understanding of your progress.

The final examination will be of 2½ hours duration and will cover the entire course. Particular emphasis will be placedon issues covered in tutorials and lectures.

The examination may be made up of multiple choice, short answer questions, essays and/or case studies. Moreinformation and additional practice questions will be available in the last few weeks of semester leading into the exam

period.

Online supportThis unit has its own ‘Blackboard’ website that will be used to provide a wide range of r esources to assist your learning.The site is located at http://www.ecu.edu.au/MyECU/ (this can be accessed via the student portal). No specialpassword is required.The site provides resources such as:

PowerPoint slides’ from the lectures,

Additional readings for each module,

Course timetable,





Course announcements,

Library and Learning Consultant support materials specifically designed to help with the unit assessments Links to other resources,

Links to the website created by the publisher of the text book, this site includes a range of resources including testquestions and research sites,

Links to useful websites (providing additional content material and support material for essay and exam preparation)

Annotated reading list – required text

There is a wide range of ‘introductory’ management texts that would be useful additional sources. While it ispreferable to use a text from Australia, international texts can be a suitable source.

Business magazines or periodicals

A number of business magazines or periodicals provide essential information, particularly useful while developing andresearching assignments. They provide examples of organisations and actual management practices. Some notableperiodicals include Management Today (published for Australian Institute of Management ), Business Review Weekly:BRW (Australia) and Business News (WA). The newspaper is also an excellent source of management examples.

Web based resources

These can be useful for keeping up to date with recent developments and for gaining access to internationalnewspapers. Remember, these are not refereed sources (that means they cannot be validated and may contain dubiousquality of material) and therefore are not a substitute for journal articles and books. The MAN1100 website (Blackboard /MyECU) has some sites that are useful. Please note: Wikipedia is not considered a suitable academic reference.

Journals

It is anticipated that you will consult a range of academic journals during the course, particularly in the preparation ofyour assignments. The following list, although not exhaustive, contains a variety of journals which cover material relatedto the field of organisational behaviour from a variety of British, American and Australian sources. Electronic journals canbe accessed via the ECU library homepage, both on campus and off-site. Access is simple and requires no specialrequirements beyond internet access and your ECU login.

ADDITIONAL READING BEYOND THE TEXT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THECOURSE.

Assessment information

ECU has implemented a raft of procedures and supports to assist all students to develop and demonstrate

appropriate standards of English language proficiency. As part of the process, staff will provide students with

feedback on the ELP demonstrated in their written assessments (other than examinations) using the ECU ELP

Measure.

The ECU ELP Measure shows a student’s written ELP against the ECU standards. The ECU minimum standard for

written ELP which all students should demonstrate is moderate proficiency (at least) in both the areas of

Sentence Structure and Word Use.

The feedback you will receive will indicate your demonstrated level of written ELP in any assessment (other

than examinations). You will also receive information describing the various supports and resources you can

access should you need to further develop your ELP. Please make sure you use the following link to obtain a

Marking criteria

The marking guide used to assess this work is located later in this document. Please familiarise yourself with it to maximise

the marks you will receive.

Assignment instructions (general)

You will be provided with additional information about the assignment topics during the semester. It is important to startexploring the subject material of the assignment well before the due date. You should reasonably expect to begin preparationat least 4 weeks before the paper is due. Each assignment topic is written in such a way as to allow you to examine in detaila major component of the course.

Remember:1. Do not simply regurgitate facts.

2. You will not find the full answer in any one source.3. Logically examine the competing views you find in the literature.4. Include the use of actual business examples to support your ideas.

Assignment instructions

Before you startBefore you start, ensure that you have carefully read through the assigned topic and understood what is being asked. Thebasis for your topic is located in your textbook, so read the relevant sub-section, chapter or chapters and develop an outlineof the key areas which you will need to research. Any questions should be directed to your tutor. A sample business essaycan be found on the MAN1100 web site, demonstrating the format and style expected.

Getting Started After reading the relevant chapters in your textbook, the library Blackboard resources specifically designed for this unit shouldbe your first place to visit for material such as journal articles. You will find databases such as ProQuest 5000 and Emerald useful. You should be looking for recent journal articles on your topic. Key word searches will require that you have an idea ofthe terms and ideas contained in your topic, and in most cases your textbook should give you these. The library resourcehelps you get started on your search.

Tip: A reference list at the end of an article may be useful.

Please remember: If you rely only on textbooks, even from other units, you will deny yourself valuable marks, simply

because current journal articles, monographs, etc., provide a better picture of the current state of research on your topic.

Preparing a draftIn order to develop a clear and logical essay you should prepare a plan of your paper and then a rough draft. Remember ALL sources of information must be acknowledged and correctly cited (referenced), not just direct quotations.

Tip: Make sure you include the in-text referencing including author(s), date and page number in your notes and drafts.





PREPARING ASSIGNMENTS – Assessment 2 (Business Essay)

Final Copy

The final copy of your assignment (business essay style) should contain

Cover page (needs a university cover page : http://intranet.ecu.edu.au/student/forms/home)

Introduction

The main body with headings to identify the sections

Conclusion

List of References (on a separate page)

Cover Page: http://intranet.ecu.edu.au/student/forms/home

Needs to indicate: the assigned question including question number, your name and student number, the title of the unit, thename of your tutor, the day and time of your tutorial or seminar, and the due date.

Introduction: The introduction outlines for the reader the direction you intend to pursue. It should describe the main purpose ofyour paper, describe the approach to be taken, and why the topic is important. Any interpretations or definitions mayalso be included in this section. Explain the scope or limitations of your paper. The introduction should be conciseand avoid any detailed discussion.

Main body: This should be a logical, well thought out discussion of the major concepts and issues. Your discussion should bedivided into major headings and sub-headings.

Tip: This part of your paper should demonstrate your ability to find information relevant to the topic, to understand it,and to critically analyse it . It is not enough to merely reiterate the content of the literature.

A good assignment will contain reference to a number of studies and you must acknowledge the source of allinformation, not just that which is directly quoted. Your assignment should not simply be an edited version ofother people’s ideas.

Conclusion

This should draw together the main points you have made in your discussion. You may indicate areas of uncertainty,and the implications for management but should not introduce new material.

List of References All references cited in the body of your paper should be listed in full at the end of the assignment. You should not have any source material in your reference list which is not included within the text of the essay. Your referencesmust include: a minimum of 10 journal articles.

Tip: Valuable marks are thrown away by not taking enough care with referencing.

Remember: Referencing should be in accordance with the APA 6th edition referencing style (Accessible fromhttp://www.ecu.edu.au/centres/library-services/workshops-and-training/referencing/related-content/downloads/refguide.pdf Incorrect referencing, particularly referring to an author’s work without acknowledgement is considered plagiarism. In theacademic environment this is similar to cheating. While students will sometimes plagiarise by oversight, the rules are veryclear. In simple terms, you must acknowledge the source of your ideas.
















Plagiarism will result in failure.

Edith Cowan University plagiarism policy:“Edith Cowan University regards academic misconduct of any form as unacceptable. Academic misconduct includes, but isnot limited to:

plagiarism;

unauthorised collaboration;

cheating in examinations;

theft of other students’ work.

The university defines academic misconduct as follows:

“academic misconduct” meansconduct in relation to any academic work that is dishonest or unfair.

“cheating” means conduct in any assessment that is dishonest.plagiarism” means to knowingly or unknowingly present as one’s own work the ideas or

writings of another without appropriate acknowledgment or referencingThis includes, but is not limited to:

paraphrasing text without acknowledgment of the source;

paraphrasing text inadequately with acknowledgment of thesource;

copying the text of another student’s assignment or other students’assignments; and

copying of visual representations (cartoons, line drawings, photos,paintings and computer programs).

A staff member, who has reasonable grounds to believe that a student has committed some form of academic misconduct,will discuss the matter with the student. If some form of academic misconduct has been committed then an appropriatepenalty will be applied as outlined in Statute 22 and Rule 40 of the ECU Handbook.”

Writing in an Academic Style Academic work should mainly be written in the third person. All assertions and observations should either be supported withsound argument based on logic and reason, or with a citation as to the source. You need to proof read your assignment, notonly for spelling errors, but for grammar, syntax and style. Non-sequitur ideas (ones which don’t follow logically from thepreceding discussion), clumsy wording and unnatural syntax all detract from the overall content of your paper. If you feeluncertain about your abilities in this area, get someone else to proof read for you. The School of Business & Law providessupport. Students should attend the Academic Skills Centre workshops and assignment labs for assistance with academic

writing skills or access the Academic Skills Centre Blackboard site under ‘My Communities’ on the portal for the workshopstimetable and resources.

Tip: This is another area where valuable marks may be lost. Make sure you leave time to tidy up your final copy.

Remember: 1. All papers must be typed.2. They must be one and a half spaced.3. Your margins should be as wide as they are in this unit outline.





Marking criteria

The real aim of assignments is to develop your learning capability, building your ability to learn again in the future, not yourability to collect and repeat the words of others. Assignments should be an opportunity to explore an area of learning anddisplay your abilities to use that data to construct your perspective, developing an understanding of the issue.

Good assignments always answer the question.

Good assignments are easy to read.

Good assignments show a critical approach to reading and writing.

Good assignments are less descriptive and more evaluative.

Management Business Essays represent a combination of report style writing and essay writing. The three main criteriathat are assessed are:

Depth and Breadth of Coverage (this includes ability to demonstrate an understanding of the issues; relevantcontent; current and a variety of references)

Critical elements, such as the quality of the written argument (this includes the use of own ideas and opinionssupported by references; using critical analysis rather than just listing the ideas of others)

Structure and format of content, as well as adherence to writing and referencing conventions (this includes followingformat prescribed here in the unit plan; compliance with APA 6th edition referencing standards).

The following pages indicate the marking criteria for the two main assignments. There is also a table indicating broaddescriptors applied for grading purposes. Your tutor will provide more information in class.

Addendum

Email protocol All emails should be sent from your student email account or via Blackboard, otherwise anti-spam filters may prevent it frombeing delivered to your lecturer.

When using email to communicate with lecturers or tutors, you should always make sure that your message contains thefollowing:

1. A subject that contains the unit code, and clearly describes the nature of your query or request. Your lecturers

receive many emails a day, and may also teach more than one unit, so if your email does not contain the unit code,

it is not possible to place your message in context. If the subject does not indicate the nature of the message, it maywell remain unanswered.

2. Change the default setting on your email program to include previous messages in replies, and make sure that

previous messages are included in an ongoing exchange. Your lecturer deals with many students. Having a copy of

the previous exchanges included in your message will expedite a response. You should still make sure that the

subject indicates what the email is about.

3. Address your lecturer appropriately by name.

4. State your question or request clearly and concisely.

5. Insert a signature at the end of your email that contains:

a. your name in full as it appears in SIMO

b. your student numberc. the campus at which you attend classes for the unit in question

(also indicate if you are an off campus student)

Your lecturer will inform you if there are additional requirements for communicating by email.While lecturers cannot be available on line all day, in normal circumstance your lecturer will reply within 2 working days.

MAN1100 Unit evaluation (UTEI)

Each semester, students are asked for feedback about their experiences in MAN1100. This feedback is read by the lecturer,

tutors, Head of School of Business and at times, by the Dean of the School of Business and Law. These responses are usedto make revisions and improvements in the delivery of the unit in subsequent semesters.

In recent semesters, the feedback from students studying MAN1100 has been overwhelmingly positive. A sample of typicalresponses has been:

Classes were engaging, interesting and relevant

The opportunity to apply ideas to real life scenarios.

Provoked thought and critical thinking

Deep subject knowledge by lecturer and tutor

Strong support to allow students to complete tasks effectively

Activities that encouraged learning





The course material is constantly reviewed and changes made each semester to reflect the changing practices of

However, if not attending you must see a doctor and submit the doctor’s certificate withyour request for a deferred exam on the grounds that you were ill at the time of exam.
