Project report

Q.  Apply selected theories introduced during the Unit (in class/ECHO) to assess the 2 key risks faced by a ‘real-world’ business, organisation or government of your choice.  Suggest how your selected entity could better deal with your 2 identified risks. 

So in other words, you have 2 risks from real-world’ business, organisation or government & for each risk you have 1 solution how they could be fixed. So you have 2 solutions. 1 solution for each risk.

You can choose any ’real-world' business, organisation or government and you can focus on any type of risk covered in the Unit. For example, you might focus on how a technology company such as Google might face risks related to infrastructure failure or cyber-attack, or how an airline such as Qantas might face risks from volcanic eruptions or severe weather events. If you are unsure what risks to look at, take a look at some of the Unit readings to get an idea or have a look at news websites to see what  risks or problems ‘real-world’ business, organisation or government have faced.

Your report MUST include the following 3 sub-sections:

Introduction (Suggested about, 200 words) Briefly justify why you have chosen your 'real-world' business, organisation or government. Please draw on relevant practice literature (e.g. company websites, reports or Press coverage). You are not required to include references to academic readings in your introduction.

Risk Identification (Suggested about, 500 words) Drawing upon academic literature and practice literature explain how you have identified the 2 key risks that face your selected ‘real-world' business/company, organisation or government?

Recommendations (Suggested about, 500 words) Drawing upon academic literature make 2 key recommendations as to how you would better deal with the 2 keys risks identified. So in other words, you have in total 2 recommendations/solutions. 1 for the first key risk identified and then another 1 for the next key risks identified.

 

ADVICE

How you decide to distribute the 'words' to the introduction, risk identified and recommends is ultimately up to you. The number of words are only a suggestion.  You can do more in one or less. Its entirely up to you. So far as 'mark weighting' is concerned for each of these sections, please look at the rubric.
