Instructions on Assessment:
‘The value of a student’s international experience goes beyond purely the acquisition of language – it lies in the ability to see business and personal issues from other than your own cultural perspective’ Charles MacLeod, Head of UK Resourcing, Price Waterhouse Coopers
Title: An analysis of the culture of an organisation
PLEASE REMEMBER TO PUT YOUR SEMINAR TUTOR’S NAME ON YOUR ASSIGNMENT FRONT HAND IN SHEET
Your report will apply ONE theoretical framework used in the study of organizational culture to conduct an analysis of an organization’s culture.
The analysis will illustrate the culture by focusing on EITHER
1. an issue (something which the organization has responded to) OR
2. a particular organizational practice (something the organization does) OR
3. an event (some particular incident or series of incidents inside the organization) OR
4. a sub – unit (an organizational department department/division) .
You will be able to choose from ONE of seven organizations:
(The web sites are provided as somewhere to consult but will only be the start of your research)
This module is studied in many overseas locations. The lists of organizations available to choose are amended slightly to take into account greater suitability for the part of the world they study in. Whilst not giving you too much choice! We think it only fair to allow all students to choose from the entire list, so have included these as well and you can choose one organisation from this list as well if you wish, however normally UK based students choose from the list of seven organizations above and so please speak to your seminar tutor for guidance before choosing from the list below:
Hutchison Whampoa, UNIQLO,United Overseas Bank (UOB), Tigerair, ZARA, ZTE, ArcelorMittal
Your report will not exceed 3000 words (excluding appendices if any provided)
- A brief background to the organization and its environment
- An Introduction to the focus of the report (the practice, issue, event or sub-unit)
(NOTE: WITHIN THIS SECTION YOU MUST INCLUDE A SENTENCE STATING YOUR FOCUS CLEARLY AND SIMPLY)
- A brief argument which explains/justifies why you have chosen a particular theoretical framework instead of 1 other alternative that you considered but have rejected.
- A brief explanation of your chosen theoretical framework that you will use to analyse the organization, including its main concepts
- An analysis of the practice, issue, event or sub-unit which uses the chosen theoretical framework and concepts
- Conclusions (including recommendations if necessary).
Late submission of work
Where coursework is submitted without approval, after the published hand-in deadline, the following penalties will apply.
For coursework submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval, 10% of the total marks available for the assessment (i.e.100%) shall be deducted from the assessment mark.
For clarity: a late piece of work that would have scored 65%, 55% or 45% had it been handed in on time will be awarded 55%, 45% or 35% respectively as 10% of the total available marks will have been deducted.
The Penalty does not apply to Pass/Fail Modules, i.e. there will be no penalty for late submission if assessments on Pass/Fail are submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline.
Coursework submitted more than 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval will be regarded as not having been completed. A mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment and the module will be failed, irrespective of the overall module mark.
For clarity: if the original hand-in time on working day A is 12noon the 24 hour late submission allowance will end at 12noon on working day B.
These provisions apply to all assessments, including those assessed on a Pass/Fail basis.

If this word count is falsified, students are reminded that under ARNA page 30 Section 3.4 this will be regarded as academic misconduct.
If the word limit of the full assignment exceeds the +10% limit, 10% of the mark provisionally awarded to the assignment will be deducted. For example: if the assignment is worth 70 marks but is above the word limit by more than 10%, a penalty of 7 marks will be imposed, giving a final mark of 63.
Students must retain an electronic copy of this assignment (including ALL appendices) and it must be made available within 24hours of them requesting it be submitted.
Note: For those assessments or partial assessments based on calculation, multiple choice etc., marks will be gained on an accumulative basis. In these cases, marks allocated to each section will be made clear.
Time limits and penalties for presentations
