MGT501 Business Environment
This assessments addresses the following Subject Learning
Outcomes:
a) Develop and apply a conceptual understanding of
reflective practice in a business context.
b) Critically evaluate economic principles and
stakeholders viewpoints in business environments.
Context:
Self-reflection is a way of assessing yourself and the way you work and study. Reflecting helps in
developing your skills further and linking practice with theory. It is about analysing what you do and
why you do it and applying what you have learned in the future. Reflective self-awareness leads to
better leadership skills and performance. More importantly, an enhanced understanding of oneself
also provides a solid basis for empathy and leading others.
In Assessment 1, Part A, the focus will be on you to reflect on the motivation for undertaking
postgraduate studies and expectations regarding the course and ensuing career path.
Part B, which is due in module 6, requires you to revisit Part A and do a short video presentation on
your learning experience and thinking, and how they might have evolved during the course of the
subject
Business Environment
You are an inventor who enjoys working around the home, cleaning, cooking, and doing minor home repairs and remodeling. You have little financial skills and no management skills. You have a great idea for a new kind of home appliance that meets everyday consumer needs. Your net worth is not very high so you have no idea if you’ll be able to “fund” this start-up. You know that currently there are similar products that meet the consumers’ needs, but those products are inherently dangerous. You know nothing about manufacturing other than that it costs lots of money to set up a plant. You are convinced that this new technology idea would be applicable in a wide range of other products. Your spouse, knowing how much time this venture will take away from family time, has asked you for an example of what you mean to make sure your idea isn’t some harebrained scheme. You mention the following as two similar ideas that were developed for one application but proved to have VERY widespread applications: a. The “clicker” was initially invented for use with TV’s, but now has widespread applications for a host of electronic applications, just like your technology could potentially do. b. The 3-prong power cord for electrical appliances was invented for higher quality appliances. Lower quality appliances have a 2-prong cord, which is a safety issue. Better quality power cords have the 3rd “ground” wire, so now it has widespread application, just like your technology could potentially do. Marketplace The market for your new product (which will use a special technology) is quite saturated with annual growth of only 2%. It is expected that the new technology in this invention will jumpstart sales growth as it will make it far easier to handle and use around the house. You fully expect that once this product’s acceptance is established, the technology can be leveraged into other products and/or markets. While each of these FUTURE products and/or market opportunities is sure to generate significant sales, there will be significant new investment required for each opportunity as well as some risk.
