BBDM3093 COURSEWORK SEM 1 2015/16

You should have known by now that your coursework consists of THREE parts.

COURSEWORK 1 (Group-assessed)

This will carry 40 marks.

Play the Business Strategy Game over a period of 10 years, from Year 11 to Year 20. In other words, there are 10 rounds of decision-making, each round being referred to as one year in the game. Your Year-to-Date score at the end of Year 20 will determine your Coursework 1 marks. A maximum score of 110 or above (due to bonus points being awarded) will give you a maximum of 40 marks. Marks will be awarded proportionately to your score in the game. Thus if your score is 90, your marks will be (90*40)/110 = 32.7

COURSEWORK 2 (Group-assessed)

This will carry 20 marks.

This is the reflective writing part of your coursework. Maximum 2,000 words. Reflective simply means to look back to your experiences in playing the BSG and let your tutor read about what you have learnt or realized from the game. You can write with regard to the following:

a) skills required to become a competent/successful entrepreneur. For example, numerical/quantitative/financial skills to analyse various reports such as production report or financial statements. You may also bring in other skills such as communication skill, negotiation skill, conflict-solving skill, etc, because you guys are doing the coursework in a team and disagreements are bound to occur. All of these are exactly what an entrepreneur will do - analyzing all types of data, communicating with stakeholders, negotiating with financiers and suppliers, solving conflicts within the organization, etc.

b) knowledge deemed useful/beneficial/necessary to be possessed by an entrepreneur . For example, knowledge with regard to foreign exchange risks, knowledge pertaining to various distribution and promotional strategies.

Ensure that each point that you write about is justified with reference to your experience in playing the BSG. You may refer to specific sections of the game and also incidences that occur such as a conflict situation with members of your team.


COURSEWORK 3 (Individually-assessed)

This will carry 40 marks.

This part represents a presentation of how you had played the BSG in Coursework 1, what your company had achieved, and the lessons you had learnt from playing the game, with regard to entrepreneurship (a summary of Coursework 2). At this stage, your presentation marks will be awarded.

Your presentation is to be videotaped, uploaded to Youtube, and subsequently to be uploaded to Tarcbusinessreview.com. Only selected presentations are to be uploaded. Selected presentations are defined as presentations which are deemed excellent by tutors. Once uploaded to Tarcbusinessreview.com, students will pitch their videos and invite their friends to vote for the best video presentation. There are no courseworks for this stage, but the 3 best videos with the highest number of votes will be rewarded with a 3D2N stay in Resorts World Genting, courtesy of Comeyumchawithme. LOL!!!!
