Assessment Tasks
ASSIGNMENT 1A BUSINESS PITCH (DUE WEEK 5 IN CLASS) WEDNESDAY 9 OCTOBER
REQUIRED
Step 1: Students will choose any organisation that they wish to study for assignment 1A and 1B. Each team will choose a global
corporation such as Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Tesla, Space X, Instagram, IBM, Louis Vuitton, etc.
Step 2: Choose some aspect of their MCS to share a compelling story about such as the leadership style, organisation culture
or how they attract and retain talent or a failure in management control etc.
The purpose of the business pitch is to develop skills in: 1. Telling a story to communicate your ideas and 2. To engage with an
audience. Practising story telling within this course is to ensure postgraduate students are work-ready. In contemporary business
settings, your pitch skills will constantly be put to the test and influence the ability to win jobs and progress throughout your
professional careers. This assessment is individually assessed though undertaken in teams.
The pitch must tell a story and engage an audience. For a useful resource on this go to: https://hbr.org/2013/06/how-to-give-a- killer-presentation)!
Role plays, television format and other creative pitch styles are encouraged with emphasis on creatively telling a compelling
story. For example, share a story about culture or leadership as a social control, or give an example about the failure of MCS
such as Enron. You also need to engage with an audience from the start of pitch and during the pitch.
In the October 2013 edition of In the Black Magazine titled: “What’s your Story”, it is reported that businesses have come to
realise the value of storytelling. As one US storytelling exponent puts it: “Humans simply aren’t moved to action by data dumps,
dense PowerPoint slides or spreadsheets packed with figures. They’re moved by emotion.” Motivational speakers have used
Page 3 of 16
stories for years, but only as part of their arsenal to build momentary enthusiasm. Stories are needed in the business context to
help people really understand the messages, remember them and care about them. Similarly, in the 2012 edition of the Harvard
Business Review – Nancy Duarte stated that after studying hundreds of speeches, the most effective presenters use the same
techniques as great storytellers: By reminding people of the status quo and then revealing the path to a better way, they set up
a conflict that needs to be resolved.
Allocation of marks
Individuals are assessed as such and therefore you must each attend your pitch. It is up to individuals to work collectively in
order present a story innovatively and elicit active audience involvement. For example, your pitch will incorporate multi-media (a
combination of strategies such as role play, quizzes, relevant videos downloaded from u tube, and other creative methods). It is
essential to employ strategies for eliciting audience involvement and telling a powerful story.
Allocation of marks
Marks will be allocated on the ability to tell a story and for being able to demonstrate that
you can engage with an audience.
ASSIGNMENT 1B: TEAM REPORT (DUE WEEK 8 SOFT COPY IN TURNITIN BY WEDNESDAY 23

are engaging with authentic industry issues. Use 1.5 spacing an d12 point times, ariel or times new roman.
REQUIRED:
(Approximately 2500 – 3000 words maximum, excluding synopsis, bibliography and footnotes. This word limit is
an approximation only)
a) Briefly outline the history, strategy, and key operations of your case organisation.
Also outline the rationale for selecting the
case organisation (such as high performance citing consistent profitability and other financial/non-financial indicators (reputation,
high brand name worth etc).
You should provide substantiating evidence of this.
(10 marks)
b) Undertake research to describe and discuss the elements of the Management Control System and the suitability of the MCS
given the context in which your case organisation operates. Critique the Management Control System with a view to identifying
strengths and weaknesses.
(40 marks)
c) From your analysis in part (b) above, make a set of at least six comprehensive recommendations to the Senior Executive team.

You will also be asked to write an individual self-reflection statement. More information will be provided closer to the time.
Additional Information
• The body of the assignment should not exceed approximately 2500 - 3000 words, excluding table of contents, abstract,
and list of references. Use Appendices and footnotes sparingly. Please note this is a suggested word limit only.
• The answer to each section must be identified clearly by the use of sub-headings. In addition to the requirements

Page 4 of 16
• ‘Dot points’ should not be used sparingly.
• You must acknowledge all sources of information cited in your assignment using Harvard referencing.
Allocation of Marks to Individuals
Marks will be allocated to individuals using the weighting procedure outlined below. This weighting scheme involves the use of
peer evaluation to assess the relative contribution of each syndicate member (use the form provided).
Peer Evaluation Marking Scheme
In order to provide an opportunity for substantial individual contributions to team performance to be rewarded, the following
marking scheme is proposed.
STEP 1: The case will be marked and awarded a mark out of 20 (for illustrative purposes only).
STEP 2: Each student will provide their seminar leader with a rating of their own contribution and their assessment of the
individual contribution of each of the other members of their syndicate. This will be a score out of 10 that reflects the amount and
quality of the effort made by each of the syndicate members.
STEP 3: The ratings provided by each team member will be collated, averaged and converted to a percentage out of 100 to
determine the proportionate contribution of each team member to the team result.
STEP 4: Half of the total mark will be credited to each student in the group.
STEP 5: The other half of the total mark will be multiplied by the number of members in the team and placed in a pool.
STEP 6: The pool will be allocated back to each team member based on the calculation of the proportionate contribution made
by each team member.
STEP 7: The two marks determined in STEPS 4 and 6 will be added to give each student’s grade for the Case. However, NO
student’s grade will exceed the mark assigned by your seminar leader. This will represent the UPPER CAP placed on the
adjustment of your mark.
The following example will illustrate the calculation of marks.
STEP 1: A five-member group receives a mark of 14 out of 20 for the case.
STEP 2: (For steps 2 to 6 all calculations will be rounded to 1 decimal place). The individual ratings (out of 10) from each member
average as follows:

ASSIGNMENT 2A BUSINESS PITCH ON NETFLIX MCS PRACTICE (DUE WEEK 9 IN CLASS)
WEDNESDAY 22 OCTOBER
REQUIRED
You are required to give a business pitch which unveils one of the MCS practices at Netflix.
You should focus on one or two
intriguing business practices. Create a pitch that tells a compelling story about this MCS practice. Innovative pitch techniques
such as storytelling pitches, role play, television show format, news and current affairs etc are encouraged.
Allocation of marks:
Every individual must attend the pitch. It is up to each you to use the talents of each individual to best advantage.
ASSIGNMENT 2B INDIVIDUAL CASE STUDY MP4 VIDEO: DUE WEEK 11 (SUBMIT A
POWERPOINT FILE IN TURNITIN BY 9PM WEDNESDAY 20 NOVEMVER WITH LINK TO VIDEO
ON FRONT PAGE)
Background:
You are required to undertake extensive research for this assignment.
Reed Hastings, founder of Netflix, has arguably created a company that has turned the status quo of MCS on its head. Instead
of creating more rules as Netflix grew, Hastings gave his employees more freedom. A MCS was crafted that simultaneously
gives employees freedom and responsibility. Yet these are opposing forces. At Netflix, adequate performance gets a generous
severance, and hard work is irrelevant. In addition, you don’t try to please your boss, you practice radical candour. Employees
never need approval, and the company always pays the top of the market rates. Netflix argues that management control via
giving employees freedom has been so successful that they continue to reduce their controls (and rules).
Create a video with an MP3 file containing
a pitch where you unveil a compelling story about the following:
Task Overview: Create a business pitch which tells the story of how Netflix was founded and how its founder crafted soke
compelling MCS practices. This may be a compelling story about the effectiveness and or ineffectiveness of the Netflix MCS.
Your pitch is to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Board. It should be interactive (a pretend audience so include rhetorical
questions, vote, etc).
All of the secrets to a great pitch from this subject apply. You are telling a story (consider using music, video) and do NOT
overwhelm your audience with facts and data. Tell a story and keep your visuals simple. Do NOT fall into the trap of giving a
boring pitch full of facts and figures. Unveil a story and be as creative as possible.
End with a single recommendation/s to the CEO and Board to improve the MCS or maintain MCS effectiveness.
Weight: 50%
Pitch Length:
Approximately 7 to 8 minute pitch on MP3 video and supported by some PowerPoint slides (use as many
slides which contains only images and few words as you like to help you tell your story).
You must appear in the video. Thus, it is strongly recommended that you ask a third party friend or peer to film the video so
you can be seen and use visuals simultaneously.
Format: MP4 video format.
Please include a link to the MP4 file as a comment in Canvas and as a link on the front page of
your PPT file.
Task:
1) Create a highly innovative pitch which tells a story AND engages an audience (e.g. start by asking your audience to
imagine something, ask them "what if..." & or show a
short video to get your audience's attention) using your storytelling skills
to describe and evaluate the MCS (and what makes this MCS distinct.) Your pitch will identify a single strong recommendation
to the CEO and the Board whom are very busy.
2. You must be the presenter in the video and should be seen in fully at least at times
throughout the video (do not
have visuals on full screen the whole time or it will detract from video); and

Did not meet criterion. The pitch is built around an
intelligible structure and all
required information is
present. This structure is
communicated at the outset
of the pitch. The information
is succinctly communicated,
only relevant information is
included, headings and visual
information enhance the
spoken text and make the
pitch comprehensible and
coherent. The pitch is spoken
to camera and not read from
a script.
The structure, layout,
headings, signposting, and

together to enhance clarity
and comprehension. The
pitch benefits from the use of
a hook to open the pitch, a
clear outline of the pitch to
follow, and an insightful take- home message to conclude it.
The pitch is spoken to camera
and not read from a script.
The pitch has clearly been
scripted, rehearsed, and then
delivered with the purpose
and audience clearly in mind.

information. Effective use of
an engaging and appropriate
hook, which attracts the
listener's attention, as well as
a succinct and logical take- home message to encourage
reflection and thought in the
listener.
The pitch is spoken to camera
and not read from a script.
A highly polished pitch that takes the listener's likely
reactions or thoughts into account. It effectively sells the
report, making the latter a 'must read'. Likely questions
or concerns from the client are anticipated (e.g., Now,
you might be thinking that…, however, …). A clever
hook and take-home message are employed to great
effect, leaving the client with something relevant,
perhaps new, to consider about the proposals and/or the
industry in which it locates itself.
