Syllabus This unit covers the important roles of strategy and innovation in response to change and organisational challenges. Using a design thinking approach to real-life organisational problems, students will be able to link business strategy to novel business models that enhance an innovation’s potential to add value to an organisation.

Introduction Welcome to ORGM5000 Stragegy, Change and Innovation! Innovation is widely regarded as the key element sustaining organisational growth and success. It is also a key driver of organisational and industry change. Closely linked to innovation is a firm's overall strategy, generally considered to be a firm's path to sustainable competitive advantage. Using a design thinking approach, this unit looks at new ways of developing business models that complement a firm's strategy. The new business model developed is in fact the innovation. It will be a challenging journey for all of us but one, we hope, you find satisfying.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

Learning Activities Theoretical content relating to strategy, change and innovation will be delivered during the one hour online lecture followed by a more interactive two hour tutorial covering concepts and cases related to the teaching material. Students will apply design thinking methods and theory learnt from the topic to help identify solutions to a real life organisation facing future innovation challenges. A key element of the unit is the guest presentation provided in the

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. Strategy Investigation (Individual Assessment)

The traditional approach to strategic management relies on an understanding of the external and internal environments of a firm in order to chart an appropriate route to competitive advantage. From the evaluation of the external and internal environments, a firm is able to formulate short and long-term strategies the implementation of which is measured by the firm's goals and objectives. Complementing a firm's strategy is its business model. Often, strategy and business models are used interchangeably yet they are not the same things. A business model details how a firm delivers value to its customers. One of the key elements of design thinking is a firm's business model which charts how a business delivers value to its customers. Since we will be using design thinking this semester and analysing a firm's business model, it is important the distinction between a firm's strategy and its business model is understood. The strategy investigation requires you to provide a 2000 (+/-10%) word assignment that details how a firm's business model complements its strategy. Your assignment will clearly distinguish strategy from the business model but also demonstrate why the two are often confused. This will require you to demonstrate your critical analysis to explain why strategy and business models are often confused. It is important that you present and evaluate alternative principles and concepts to demonstrate further your critical analysis skills. The use of diagrams to support your discussion is encouraged while your ability to synthesise key principles, concepts and models into your own conceptual frameworks will be regarded favourably by your instructor.

For this assessment, you must cite, using Chicago Referencing, at least ten (10) references, five (5) of which need to be from academic journals (examples of these journals are listed on page 3 of this outline). Failure to meet this requirement will result in loss of marks (see marking guide on Blackboard). You will need to use references skillfully since these will be the sources of information that help you build your argument. Where articles provide contrasting or alternative views, make sure you argue how the views contrast and weigh up the relative merits of the differing views. While ten references is the minimum requirement, students who do well in this assessment use considerably more than ten. This assignment must be submitted to Turnitin. The final version of your assignment submitted to Turnitin will be graded by your instructor. Please note, paper submissions will not be accepted and therefore will not be graded. Please review the marking criteria for this assessment via the relevant link on the ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation Blackboard site.

2. Project - Current Organisational Problem/Challenge (Group Assessment)

An invited CEO/Director of a local firm will begin your investigation with a presentation to a gathering of ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation 500. The focus company has been selected as the case of interest for you to prepare an assignment around an organisational challenge it is facing. This assessment is group based (two to four students per group) so you can share your analysis and findings together. You are expected to analyse the challenge by applying design thinking processes and techniques, particularly in relation to the firm's relevant business model, to identify the "real problem" behind the problem. Another key element of the design thinking process is re-thinking an organisation's value proposition once the organisation's real problem has been identified. Since there is likely to be a disconnect between a firm's original value proposition and your re-defined organisational problem, you will need to use design thinking techniques to help you revise the focal organisation's value proposition. You will discuss how you used design thinking techniques to analyse the organisation's challenge and value proposition to reach your conclusion. Your assignment will include an introduction discussing briefly the firm's current challenge and value proposition as identified by the CEO while in the main discussion you will demonstrate the clear application of the design thinking methods you used to "breakdown" the challenge into its basic components as well as explain how you revised the value proposition. The assessment requires you to reflect on the design thinking techniques that were used to help you re-define the focal organisation's challenge/problem and value proposition. This reflection requires a deep evaluation of how your group applied the design thinking techniques and where you found the exercise challenging and why. Remember, you are not providing a solution to the redefined organisational challenge in this assessment but instead discussing the effectiveness of the design thinking techniques in getting you to understand more deeply the key issues the focal organisation is facing. The word length for this assessment is 2,500 words (+/- 10%) regardless of the number of students in your group. You are expected to cite at least ten (10) references, using Chicago Referencing, to support your discussion. Grading criteria and relevant marking guide are available on the Assessment link on Blackboard. It is imperative that each member of the team contributes to the writing of the group component of the report. In the event of a conflict within teams, students must undertake the following process prior to presenting their concerns to the Unit Coordinatorl

l Students must address issues early (do not leave the problem until the week before the assessment is due)

l Call a meeting with all group members to discuss a concern or a breach of contract/agreement l If resolution is not achieved, request mediation by another student with the class l If resolution is not achieved, request mediation by the lecturer l If resolution is not achieved, present the concern to the Unit Coordinator

You will be allocated a mark for your project and to ensure that every individual in the group gets his or her well-deserved mark for the group assignment, the group members will determine how the marks will be distributed across all team members. Please refer to the Assessment link on the ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation Blackboard site for further information and also in the additional information section of the unit outline. This assignment must be submitted to Turnitin. The final version of your assignment submitted to Turnitin will be graded by your instructor. As this is a group assignment, please ensure only one group member is allocated the task of submitting the final assignment to Turnitin. Submissions from multiple group members will result in a high number of matches and will require investigation from your instructor and unit coordinator for further action. Please note, paper submissions will not be accepted and therefore will not be graded. Please review the marking criteria for this assessment via the relevant link on the ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation Blackboard site.

3. Innovation Report (Individual Assessment)

The Innovation Report builds on the group project by identifying a solution for the problem you identified in the previous assessment and how the focal organisation will be able to deliver its revised value proposition. Make sure you include a discussion on this problem/organisational challenge and value proposition in your introduction to the report. Your introduction should also discuss the existing strategies of the focal





organisation. This assessment brings together the topics covered during the semester including a revision of the design thinking techniques used for redefining the organisational challenge and value proposition.

You will demonstrate how your proposed solution will be implemented by your focal organisation through a revised business model that is different to the organisation's original starting point. You will need to describe how the model differs from the original one and how and why it will benefit the focal organisation. You will also apply some of the strategy concepts we covered early in the semester as well as issues associated with intellectual property protection and collaborative strategies. The word count for the report is 2,000 words (+/- 10%). This is a tight word limit so please use exhibits such as diagrams and tables to avoid going over the word limit. Your business model will also not be included in the word count. You will provide clear recommendations that are well founded calls to action clearly linked to the rest of the report. Please ensure you submit your written report to Turnitin. Reports that have not been submitted to Turnitin will not be graded. You should aim to create something of a professional standard of presentation which you would be proud to show to the company, since it is the intention for all good reports to be made available to the business. As guide, a report that scores more than 80% will be forwarded to the business. The report is to follow the Curtin Chicago referencing style and should contain a minimum of ten (10) references, balanced between scholarly and other sources. Advice on areas to focus on in the report will be provided in the tutorials. Please review the marking criteria for this assessment via the relevant link on the ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation Blackboard site.

4. Creative Presentation (Individual Assessment)

The creative presentation complements the innovation report. In this assessment, you are required to deliver a creative presentation that demonstrates how your proposed innovative solution will address the problem behind the focal organisation's challenge. If you like, it is a digital summary of your innovation report and is a creative means of delivering your solutions to the focal organisation through a different medium. The presentation needs to provide a compelling argument as to why the innovation report has to be read. The presentation will run for five (5) minutes and will be in digital form, i.e. can be viewed as a recording. These recordings will be posted to the iLecture system at Curtin so you will need to make sure you use compatible software to permit you to upload your recording. Selected presentations (scoring over 80%) will also be made available to the focal organisation. Further information regarding this assessment will be provided to you in the tutorials. Please review the marking criteria for this assessment via the relevant link on the ORGM5000 Strategy, Change and Innovation Blackboard site.

Pass requirements

Students must obtain an overall mark of 50/100 (50%) and attempt and complete all assessments to pass this unit.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each semester.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.

For general ICT assistance, in the first instance please contact OASIS Student Support: oasisapps.curtin.edu.au/help/general/support.cfm

Additional information Assessment of individual grades in group work, how does it work?

Effective group work will require many and varied contributions. Some of the more important facets and tasks to be considered will include:

l Sharing your reflections of the design thinking techniques used to redefine the focal organisation's organisational challenge and value proposition

l Co-ordinating contributions, chasing up outstanding work and synthesizing the work of the group into a collective outcome

l Making suggestions and being creative l Encouraging teamwork and participative environment l Acknowledging the good work of others and confronting performance concerns

You MAY be required to assess all of your team members (should anyone request it in your group) on these qualities by completing an online peer evaluation, so please discuss any concerns openly and honestly throughout the semester. How does your online peer assessment affect your individual grades?

Assessment Task 2 - Project attracts a total score that represents 25% of your final mark. To avoid the risk of allowing a student to pass who does not contribute adequately to the group assessments and to reward star performers, the peer assessment can result in changes to individual grades. The process is as follows:

1. Your assessment will be given a raw score for the group by the instructor; 2. You will already have allocated scores from a finite pool of $100 based upon the total contribution of every

member of your team (including yourself) in your peer reviews; 3. The average of all scores for each group will be used to award an individual mark adjusted by your peer

reviews; 4. Adjustments may be made by the unit coordinator to this method due to circumstances outside of the team

members' control

Hypothetical Example: John's group received a score of 20 out of 25 for the project.

*Where all other team members score a participant low, then they will normally score a maximum of only one quarter of the $100 for their self rating. These scores were confirmed by the observations of the instructor who said that Jenny was the driving force in the group and that Wayne was always late for meetings and seemed disinterested in the project. The instructor was a little surprised by John's lower score from his peers but trusted the reviews after checking some details. It seems that Bill and Jenny carried the load for work that Wayne failed to deliver at one point.
