Context:
The assessment suite in this subject is designed to provide students with a framework to
understand organisational behaviour, politics and the dynamics of the business
environment. The assessment suite aims to equip students with the necessary skills to
understand the constraints managers and emerging leaders face in developing strategies to
leverage advantages and overcome constraints and barriers in organisations.
Instructions:
Following from the first assignment, students will create a personal SWOT analysis and
comment on their fit with the organisation identified in their first assignment submission.
The second assignment should include:
• the use of three naturally occurring data (e.g. conversations, emails, corporate
artefacts that regularly occur, etc.);
MGMT6002 Assignment Two Brief Page 2 of 4
• assessment of personal strengths and weaknesses as viewed by self and others
(ensure you reflect on who is giving you what feedback, how you appear to be
progressing, and how you fit within the organisation where you work, or want to
work);
• a critical assessment of how you are placed or misplaced within the chosen
organisation; and
• a discussion of self-improvement for continuous improvement.
The report is to be limited to 2000 words, exclusive of formal document sections (i.e. title
page, executive summary, table of contents, references list, appendices, etc.), citations,
tables and graphs. Students should submit one file through Turnitin.
There are a number of forms the report could take. The exact form of the report will
depend on the additional research the student will undertake; students should aim for the
demonstration of deep learning, founded on reflection, rather than on getting any aspect of
the brief ‘right.’
Students should commence this assignment early, keep regular backups and ensure they
submit the correct, final version. Students should use this brief as the instruction set for the
assignment requirements. Additionally, the rubric below can be used to describe what
unacceptable, functional, proficient, advanced and exceptional assignments might look like
according to the criteria in the leftmost column of each row.
As this is a Masters level subject, students are expected to engage with high-quality
academic journal articles, using the Torrens University Library. Textbooks, Wikipedia and, in
general, anything that can be obtained through an open Google search page are considered
supplementary material, unbecoming of a postgraduate.
Students should begin their reflection, if they have not already previously done it, by
undertaking a Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator test. A free test that does not require
sign-up is available here: www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp. Another option is
the Gallup Strengths Assessment tool available that can be available by your facilitator.

Learning Rubrics
There are numerous ways to interpret the assessment brief. This rubric should not be used as a prescription or tick-the-box list of
requirements but as a description of an amalgam of several possible interpretations and the standards they might take. The assessment will
be graded holistically, based on the criteria in the leftmost column. Your interpretation may not match the rubric exactly as you may extend
the requirements, using your initiative to demonstrate your mastery of the subject matter. Additionally, you may demonstrate elements
described in the Advanced column and still be graded ‘Functional’ for one or more of the criteria (the reverse trend is also possible). Higher
performing submissions will depend on wider reading, rather than on the rubric verbatim.
