Assignment ECOS3003
Choose one of the following questions:
Question A.
You have been approached by the Board of Directors of a company of your choice to
advise it on its organizational architecture.
You must:
1. Select the company (it must be a real for-profit firm).
2. Describe the company’s organizational architecture .
3. Make an assessment of the current architecture. Is the current architecture appropriate or would you recommend change? If you recommend changes, what are they? Provide arguments to support your case.
Question B
The University of Sydney has the core objectives of providing quality undergraduate and postgraduate training as well as being a leading research institutes. The University gets most of its revenue from teaching, but also receives a significant amount of money for research (grants, payments for research output by the Federal government, and so on). In this process, there are many decisions that need to be made: there are choices about what degrees and subject areas to offer students; how should academics be paid?; how should research be rewarded?; and so on.
In this question, you need to analyse the organizational architecture of the University of Sydney. Where appropriate, make recommendations for a change in the current structure. Provide reasons for your arguments. This report can be written as if you are a consultant writing a report for the Vice Chancellor.
Question C
Development of new products or services in the bio-tech or high-tech fields invariably involves a combination of highly specialized skills or techniques from different areas. This possibly explains why there are so many joint research and development ventures in the bio-tech and high-tech industries. But joint ventures are not without their own problems.
Taking a real example of a joint venture, what are the potential benefits and problems for one (or all) of the participants? Discuss how the joint venture could be set up in such a way so that still produces the potential benefits but avoids some of the pitfalls inherent in such projects.
Question D
Make up your own question. If you want to do this, you need to come and discuss it with me first.
Instructions
Note:
1. You are expected to undertake some amount of research in completing this assignment – certainly enough to answer the question. You do not need to know everything about the company you are studying, but you will need to have a good idea about at least a few aspects of its architecture. In this assignment, you will be rewarded for the depth of (relevant) research that you undertake. This means that you do not have to analyze everything to do with your company – rather, focus on one or two aspects and analyze them in greater depth. The usual rules of academic referencing apply.
2. Your aim in writing this essay is not simply to list all the interesting things the chosen company do – as can be easily found in social media. Instead, you should aim to extract general principles about why what the company does is so/not so successful using the tools that you have been taught in the course.
3. You must back up with evidence or logical reasoning all statements that you make. Your claims should, where appropriate, be supported by references to the existing work of experts. Any references used need to detailed in the reference list at the end of the essay.
4. Given the word count, you will be rewarded from a concise synthesis of the relevant ideas/evidence/issues.
5. Please submit your assignment double-spaced in 12-point font.
6. Make sure you reference your assignment. Any standard referencing style is acceptable, provided it is consistent, complete and correct.
The maximum word limit is 750 words, (excluding your reference list, appendices and diagrams).
