Research the
organisation and its' industry. Tailore your assessment work as part of your case for the
internship (i.e. Key stakeholder would be the internship supervisor or manager at the
company). • An industry specific initiative to demonstrate your knowledge and skills to potential
employers or clients. Something you could list on your LinkedIn profile (i.e. hosting an
event, marketing campaign etc). • For the entrepreneurially minded - the launch phase of a new venture. • A family or community initiative (i.e. home renovation, cultural or outreach project). Prepare your presentation We have discussed

image, market share,
environment and society, etc. Stakeholders https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/think/detail.action?docID=6636132
• “An individual, group or
organisation that may
affect, be affected by, or
perceive itself to be
affected by a decision,
activity, or outcome or a
project, program or
portfolio” • Both stakeholders and
teams are mentioned
twice. Why? “processes to identify the people, groups, or organizations, that could impact
or be impacted by the project, analyze their expectations and impact, and
develop strategies for engaging them and managing conflicting interests” Stakeholder Identification: Who are the relevant stakeholders?

grades. You need to use academic references (e. g. textbooks, industry or academic
journal). Appropriate websites may be used as references. Always check to see the
minimum references that are required for your assessment We must be able to find those references – so always include the link to the source,
e.g. URLs or DOIs. Use references relevant to the assessment brief and check the rubrics to see what %
relates to your mark. Use some of the references from the modules. 15 Use the APA 7th edition

18 Impermissible Use of Artificial Intelligence How to cite and reference use of Artificial Intelligence • Use of Generative AI must be clearly cited and referenced, just as you would any
other resource AND
• You must include an appendix (after your references) showing your Generative AI use
including prompts and responses used for the assessment 19 https://library.torrens.edu.au/ld.php?content_id=49180373

You open yourself to blackmail. Contract writers can threaten to reveal your cheating to your
university or to a current or future employer. This threat never goes away, so the risk could
haunt you for a very long time. The Australian Government passed legislation in September 2020 which makes contract cheating services
illegal, with criminal penalties.
