04 Jul HARMONIX CASE;
SSIGNMENT 1 GUIDELINES
Assignment 1 consists of two sets of questions:
• 20 Questions based on the content of Chapters 1 through 11 in the text; and
• 10 questions relating to 3 Cases based on the content of Chapters 1 to 11.
These questions are found in three parts:
Part 1 (Chapters 1 through 3) consisting of Questions 1.1 through 1.7 and 3 questions relating to the Harmonix case;
Part 2 (Chapters 4 through 8) consisting of Questions 2.1 through 2.7 and 4 questions relating to the Petco case; and
Part 3 (Chapters 9 through 11) consisting of Questions 3.1 through 3.6 and 3 questions relating to the TerraCycle case.
This assignment will require you to submit a formal report of your responses to the questions as a Word document
submitted through the Assignment 1 drop box on the course Moodle site. Make sure you number your responses consistently
with the assignment. You may also repeat the question but do not count it in the suggested response length.
There is no formal minimum or maximum length for your reports but you should expect that a satisfactory submission for
each assignment will be in the range of 3,000 words (100 words for each question on average). You may exceed this minimum
but a satisfactory submission is not likely to be less than 3,000 words. Submissions graded at the excellent or A level
have typically been between 4,000 and 5,000 words.
Where you use published material not contained in the text, you must reference it as you would in any other report and I
recommend that you use APA referencing and citation style. Where you use personal knowledge or experiences, no reference
is necessary. Where you refer to material from the text, it is acceptable to simply provide a page reference in
parentheses. Be very careful not to plagiarize the text, ie, do not to use the exact wording of the text to respond to
questions but if you do, you must reference them properly in accordance with APA referencing guidelines.
The assignment is worth 20 final marks in the course. Each question carries equal worth. Submissions will be assessed on
both content (approximately 75%) and professionalism including grammar, style, clarity and format (approximately 25%).
