Your team will be working together to research and explore a
contemporary management issue that has attracted national
and/or international media attention at some time during the past
year. You are expected to:

management issue is located. Analysis of the external and
international environments will inform you about the context in
which the issue has occurred and been managed.
2. Identify the company you will study in which the issue has taken
place. Determine the relevant internal environment factors that
pertain to the issue. The content of the lecture 3 is relevant here.
3. Provide a brief summary of the issue that the managers are
confronting.
4. Identify a relevant management topic from our lecture program
(e.g. human resources or leadership) relevant to the issue. Use this

if a reference is acceptable or not, please contact the lecturer.
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th ed., will
serve as the primary reference materials for all students. Therefore, all papers must be
submitted in APA format. The mechanics of student papers and work will be evaluated, as well
as the content. It is imperative that guidelines be reviewed before an assignment is begun. It is

Email Etiquette
Your lecturers receive many emails each day. In order to enable them to respond to your emails
appropriately and in a timely fashion, students are asked to follow basic requirements of
professional communication.
Your emails should:
▪ Have a concise and descriptive title, including the class and name of the unit you are
enquiring about
▪ Be clear about the intention of their emails
▪ Use appropriate tone and language, proof-read what is written in the email before
sending it.
Students should also allow 3-4 working days for a response before following up. If the matter
is legitimately urgent, you may indicate “URGENT” in the email subject header.
Make an appointment: If your email request is complex and requires a lengthy response it
may be probably best to make an appointment with your lecturer/instructor to meet in person.
