Syllabus
This unit consolidates and extends interdisciplinary learning within diverse and complex international business contexts. Discipline specific knowledge accumulated throughout undergraduate learning is integrated into a coherent form suitable for sharing and use. Global competitive strategies and industry dynamics are emphasised. Business acumen is refined by self-directed team engagement with realistic business scenarios. Learners actively interpret, critique and communicate information and decisions justified on established business principles. Information is evaluated within competitive business environments to reach negotiated decisions by collaboration in both diverse teams and through individual initiative. Generic critical analysis, problem solving, decision making and creative thinking capabilities are enhanced through a process of simulation, reflection and experiential learning. A professional approach, with appropriate ethical principles, attributes and values informs the transition to employment.

Learning Activities
Curtin Converged is a new interactive learning model of teaching and learning that encompasses four key elements, of which one or more will be incorporated into all of Curtins courses. Transforming Learning @ Curtin includes combinations of synchronous and asynchronous, campus-based, online, distributed, simulation and massive open online courses (MOOC). Traditional lecture formats are being extended to embrace more learner-centred approaches of design and delivery, commonly known as the Flipped Classroom. This mode of delivery has been adopted for Business Capstone 301. Business Capstone 301 will consist of one hour of Essential Preparation that must be done before the two hour Active Learning Workshop. Required and Extension Readings and video segments related to each seminar topic are provided. Before attending the Active Learning Workshops students are expected to complete a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) to ensure learning opportunities are maximised. Please note the Flipped (Active Learning) Classroom Strategy only applies to the Bentley campus (and External). For Semester 1-2013 and Trimester 1A-2013 this strategy will not apply to Curtin Offshore locations (including Sydney campus). These locations will continue to provide a three(3) hour seminar similar to the Bentley campus. ALL students need to undertake the Essential Reading before attending the Active Learning Workshops. CBS Digital Media Platform video segments will be watched in class by Offshore locations. In all, the Bentley, External and Offshore will cover the same material but with a slightly different mode of delivery. Students will engage in learning exercises, applied research, case and interview analyses, and simulations. A process of experiential, reflective and simulated learning will be used to enhance generic critical analysis, problem solving, decision making and creative thinking capabilities. Interpersonal and team proficiencies will be refined through the development of soft skills. Business issues will be identified, critiqued and resolved using real- life video business cases, interviews, presentations and the experience of operating a simulated manufacturing company. Opportunities to practice strategizing and tactics will be provided within a competitive team environment. Competing within a dynamic business environment requires continuous individual contributions through case analyses and participation in business simulations. Teams will have opportunities to maximise their potential by taking advantage of member strengths. Consequently, individual contributions to each teams development will be tracked. Information on how students will be assessed is provided in this Unit Outline and to students in the first seminar.

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Simulation Preparation Tasks (10%) Closely read (and re-read several times) and note the key information contained in the 2013 Capstone Team Member Guide. Tutors will elaborate on the Simulation Preparation Tasks assignment. Any changes will be notified at the beginning of the Active Learning Workshop. Resources used for the Simulation Preparation Tasks (including the Capstone Courier and Industry Conditions Report) are the same as those used in the Competition Rounds. Students need to ensure their company has the financial resources it needs for the upcoming year in order to: Invent and revise products. Make marketing decisions. Schedule production and buy/sell equipment. The following Simulation Preparation Tasks need to be completed online individually in Capsim prior to the beginning of Seminar 03: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Introductory Lesson Quiz. Human Resource (HR) and Labour Negotiations Tutorial Quiz. Advanced Total Quality Management (TQM) Tutorial Quiz. Read The Guide and complete the Online Situation Analysis. Rehearsal Tutorial plus Tactics (Quiz/ Decision Results).

ALL five (5) tasks must be completed as they are designed to prepare students to participate effectively in the Capsim Business Simulation. The 10% allocated for this assessment will be awarded when these tasks are successfully completed. Failure to complete any of these tasks may result in no marks being allocated for this part of the assignment. Results for the HR and Labour Market Tutorial Quiz and the TQM Tutorial Quiz will be marked online by Capsim Business Simulation and the results will be available immediately when completed. However, acknowledgement of the completion of the quizzes only appears in the Capsim Dashboard at the start of Competition Round 02 for the HR and Labour Market Tutorial Quiz and Competition Round 03 for the TQM Tutorial Quiz. Tutors will notify students of the results for this assignment in Blackboard by the start of Seminar 04. At all times, the tutors discretion will be used to judge the quality of the effort expended on the Simulation Preparation Tasks.

2. Team Simulation (25%) Team Simulation results (15%) will be based on the performance in each Competition Round. Team decisions must be uploaded at the end of each seminar prior to the class debrief. Tutors will discuss the progress on the 6 Competition Rounds and debrief the teams in class. As indicated in the Program Calendar: From Competition Round 2 onwards the Human Resources (HR) Module will be activated. In Competition Rounds 3 and 5 the Labour Negotiations Module will be activated. From Competition Round 4 onwards the Total Quality Management (TQM) Module will be activated. From Competition Round 4 onwards the Advanced Marketing Module will be activated.

Company performance is calculated using various predetermined Company Success Measures. Teams will choose their success measures in accordance with the rules explained in class and provided in Blackboard under Unit Resources. Teams must submit their final Company Success Measures in the Capsim website by the deadline for Competition Round 2. Companies are meant to be left as a going concern. This assumes each company will remain in existence long enough for all the assets of the business to be fully utilized. Penalties will be applied for teams who attempt to End Game the Capsim Business Simulation. Each weekly Competition Round (i.e., 01-06) score contributes to the calculation of the teams final mark. After Competition Round 6 the final score is compiled in Capsim. Each teams final score (between 0 and 6) is pro-rated to arrive at the equivalent assessment percentage (0- 15%). Tutors will assess individual contributions to each team using a Team Simulation Assessment Rubric (which assesses Peer Evaluations, Team Contribution and Success Measure Performance) located in Blackboard under Assessment > Assessment 2 - Team Simulation > Assess 2) Team Sim.pdf. Final simulation results will usually be awarded equally to each team member. Individual marks may be adjusted to reflect the relative contribution of team members. Tutors will evaluate how well each student Works Independently (5 marks). Averages of Team Responses are based on Peer Evaluation scores. Tutors will assess each students capacity to Work Collaboratively (3 marks). Tutors will also assess each students use of Team Processes (2 marks) in relation to team participation and involvement in the analysis and decision making process. 3. Video Business Case Report (45%) This assignment challenges students to formulate a professional response to in-depth issues contained in a real-life Video Business Case. Students will act as an independent professional consultant reporting to senior managers of the company concerned. Students are expected to provide informed advice to these business clients. Thus, a sophisticated understanding of the critical aspects of this Video Business Case needs to be demonstrated. A robust analysis of the issues involved needs to be provided. The Video Business Case to be critiqued will be available in Blackboard Announcement from the commencement of semester via the CBS Digital Media Platform tab. Students need to submit Part 1: Video Business Case Report (10%) in seminar 07. Part 2: Video Business Case Report (35%) is due in seminar 10. An electronic copy of the assignment needs be submitted to Blackboard, as an attachment, via the TurnItIn link in Assessments for Part 1 and Part 2 Video Business Case Report. A succinct and high quality report is expected. Part 1 of the Video Business Case Report will be less than 500 words. Part 2 of the Video Business Case Report will be less than 1,500 words, including an Executive Summary of no more than 300 words and references. Display the word count on the top right side of the cover page of the assignment submitted in Blackboard. Refer to the Required and Extension Readings in the Blackboard under Unit Resources and in the Unit Outline Program Calendar, and Video Business Interview and Cases in the CBS Digital Media Platform, to review learning for this unit to support assertions made about the case being examined.

4. Business Presentation (20%) Business Presentations will be made in seminar 12 and assessed by: 1. an Individual Presentation component for content and style worth 10% of the unit assessment. 2. a Team Presentation component for content and style worth 10% of the unit assessment are usually awarded equally to all team members. Students will work in the same team allocated for the Capsim Business Simulation. All team members will be expected to actively contribute to the presentation. Individual contributions to each team will also be assessed by tutors and marks may be adjusted. Students are advised to refer to BC301 > Assessment > Assessment 4) Business Presentation (20%) folder for more advice on preparing successful presentations. Review video recordings of previous semesters presentations in Video Business Interview Cases and Presentations. Unit Resources in Blackboard and the Curtin Library Databases A-Z contain important sources of information for this assignment. Students need to address the marking criteria available in BC301 > Assessment > Business Presentation Assessment Rubrics (Individual and Team). Summary of Requirements for Business Presentation (20%) 1. Review Company Performance Teams are challenged to develop a high impact presentation that thoroughly reviews their companys performance and the experience of operating the Capsim Business Simulation. Ideally, teams should take a position that can be supported and defended by their presentation. Students are challenged to express their viewpoint on company issues and support their stances with persuasive arguments. This will involve identifying common themes and include ideas related to the business scenarios examined. Required and Extension Readings assigned to this unit, and the video segments in the CBS Digital Media Platform are intended to inform reviews of each companys performance. 2. Review Learning Material Students need to locate and review the CBS Media Platform video segments and Required and Extension readings related to the business challenges inherent in managing a company like Capsim. Findings about how these readings and cases inform the management of the company need to be incorporated into the report. These readings, interviews and video cases need to be specifically linked to the intent of the presentation. Students need to refer to a minimum of three (3) Video Business Interviews or Cases and at least three (3) Required Readings and/or Extension Readings provided in the Unit Outline Program Calendar. Other credible online information may also be included. 3. Working in Web 2.0 Discussion Board Environment An engaging 20 minute team presentation needs to be delivered to the class (between 3-4 minutes for each student). Students are encouraged to design and develop a compelling class presentation in a Web 2.0 environment using the Blackboard Discussion Board feature. A Discussion Board forum is an area where a topic or a group of related topics are discussed. However, the final presentation will be in a traditional expository format. Individual and team posts about the progress of the presentation will be monitored by tutors in the Discussion Board and during seminars. 4. Achievement on Mission, Values and Strategies An important aspect of the success of the presentation will depend on how well the team create, implement and attain (or fail to) all (or part of) the originally stated Mission, Values and Strategies. Teams are challenged to directly and honestly evaluate this process. 5. Achievement of Company Success Measures by Teams Teams need to deeply reflect on how effectively the team members collaborated in achieving their Company Success Measures. Interpretations of data from Peer Evaluations will contribute to the understanding of team and individual functioning. Students are expected to be sensitive to other students feelings. At all times, it is not permissable to personally criticise fellow students. Refer to the Student Charter for information about Curtins Values of Integrity, Respect, Fairness and Care. Refer to Blackboard under the Assessment tab for more detail on this assignment.

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 Manual, available from 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 which students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on the Unit Outline. 2. Accepting late submission of assignments or other work will be determined by the unit coordinator or Head of School and will be specified on the Unit Outline. 3. If late submission of assignments or other work is not accepted, students will receive a penalty of 100% after the due date and time ie a zero mark for the late assessment. 4. If late submission of assignments or other work is accepted, students will be penalised by 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 assignment worth 20 will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and marked as 12/20, the student would receive 6/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked. Work submitted after this time (due date plus seven days) may result in a Fail - Incomplete (F-IN) grade being awarded for the unit.

Pass requirements
Receive an overall grade of 5 or above (i.e., a grade above 50%). Attempt all assessed assignments.

Referencing style
Students should use the Chicago referencing style when preparing assignments. More information can be found on this style from the Library web site: library.curtin.edu.au.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Plagiarism is a serious offence. For more information refer to academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au.

Plagiarism Monitoring
Work submitted may be subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of systems such as 'Turnitin'. For further information, see academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/turnitin.cfm.
