Assessment Task #3 – Case Study and Simulation (Report) – Individual
DUE DATE: Monday, 5th June 2023, 8pm (Melbourne time)
PERCENTAGE OF FINAL GRADE: 25% (Case study reports 20% and Simulation Reflection 5%)
WORD COUNT: Maximum 2000 words (Case: 1600 words, Simulation: 400 words)
Description:
This assignment consists of two brief case study reports and a reflection on the simulation activity conducted during the seminar.
Importance of Case Study Reports:
Case studies are valuable tools that provide examples to illustrate principles, stimulate discussions, and facilitate learning. A case study report goes beyond description and involves critical analysis, typically examining a situation or institution to make recommendations. Case study analyses are included in many courses to help students understand the constraints involved in decision-making. They require investigating a business problem, exploring alternative solutions, and proposing the most effective solution with supporting evidence. Organizations like Unilever and P&G use business case studies in their interview process to assess problem-solving skills. This assignment aims to help students achieve such objectives and enhance critical analysis, even for those working full-time.
Importance of Simulation Reflection:
In MMK325, a Harvard Simulation on Marketing Strategy Decision Making is conducted based on real-time simulated company/brand data. These simulations are usually held in Week 9 or 10. The purpose of the simulation is to empower students to make decisions in real-time and over time to reposition or revamp a brand. The simulation provides an authentic and proximal learning experience, even for those working full-time. As part of the assessment, students are required to write a short reflection on their simulation experience.
