3 How to study this unit
3.1 Approach to learning
•
•
•
•
Read the Unit Information and Learning Guide (UILG) details and
review the MyMurdoch Learning (Learning Management System/LMS)
resources.
Actively participate in your learning by preparing for workshops, completing
required activities, and asking questions to improve your understanding.
Practice good time management and plan sufficient study time to listen to the lecture
recordings/podcasts, do the readings, prepare notes, and complete all assessment
items.
Maintain regular communication with the teaching staff and your peers to clarify
any questions and assist in the collaborative learning process.
3.1.1 Learning approach underpinning unit
Attendance at workshops is required. Please advise your workshop facilitator in advance if you
cannot attend a workshop.
Global Strategic Management
Page 7 of 18
This unit uses experiential learning and problem-solving learning strategies. This means you
learn through active participation and relating your learning to your experiences. Sessions
combine a topic overview, discussions and case analysis, group exercises, simulations, and
experiential or skill development exercises. The sessions aim to assist you in developing your
open-mindedness, inquiry skills (reading, active listening, observation, critical thinking),
balanced self-analysis, empathy, communication, and teamwork, which are fundamental skills
for managing complex contemporary organisational issues. The sessions have a series of
activities that students complete in groups. If you cannot attend a workshop or study with others,
you should attempt all exercises yourself and complete all activities available on the LMS. Your
study time is most effective if you are prepared and participate consistently.
3.1.2 Unit changes in response to student feedback
This unit has been adapted to accommodate student preferences for more online learning.
Additional activities have been developed to support student engagement with the process
of learning. Student feedback is encouraged and always appreciated via email to the Unit
Coordinator. Feedback collected from student feedback surveys at the end of the semester
is considered when the unit is reviewed for the following semester. Course content is
continuously evaluated throughout the teaching period when it is delivered each week.
Improvements identified during delivery are notated and considered when the unit is reviewed
and updated the following semester.
Previous students have provided us with feedback to improve this unit. Please help us continue this feedback cycle by
completing your own unit survey which will open toward the end of teaching. You can find your Myfeedback surveys at
http://myfeedback.murdoch.edu.au/.
3.1.2 What you need to know
Generic information students need to know is available on the "What you need to know" web page.
The information includes:
• links to the Assessment Policy
• a description of Academic Integrity
• links to information about Examinations; Non-discriminatory language;
Student appeals; Student complaints; Conscientious objection and
assessment policy
• determination of grades from components/marks
• information for equity students
This unit was originally written by Carlos Raúl Sánchez Sánchez, June 2020. This unit has since
been modified and updated by Dr. Stephanie Diep, June 2023.
3.2 Learning activities & requirements
3.2.1 Overall expectations
There are 7 x 3.5-hour workshops and 1 x 3-hour revision sessions every second week throughout

5.3 Academic integrity
Murdoch University expects students and staff to pursue the highest standards of integrity in all academic activity.
Academic integrity involves behaving ethically and honestly in scholarship and relies on respect for others’ ideas
through proper acknowledgement and referencing of publications.
Academic misconduct is treated seriously and penalties may apply.
More information about academic integrity can be found at https://goto.murdoch.edu.au/AcademicIntegrity. To help
you learn about academic integrity practices, all students are required to complete the Murdoch Academic Passport
(MAP100). Please also note the library citation guide.
5.3.1 Use of GenerativeAI
Overall in this unit, you must follow the expectations around the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI).
•
•
All use of GenAI must be cited/referenced/acknowledged.
If no specific expectations are provided, then you must assume GenAI use is not permitted for that
assessment. Any suspected unauthorised use will be investigated for misconduct.
See the assessment details above for any specific expectations.
5.3.2 Text matching software (Turnitin)
Murdoch University makes use of text matching software to identify unoriginal, incorrectly referenced, or uncited text.
All required assessments may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection of
plagiarism. All submitted assessments will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database
solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism. You will be asked to agree to the Turnitin.com Usage Policy when
submitting. (See the Usage Policy on Turnitin.com).
Your Unit Coordinator may apply other processes to verify that your submitted assessment is your own work.
5.3.3

Global Strategic Management
Page 14 of 18
5.4 Extensions and late submissions
In this unit, extensions and late submissions follow these requirements:
•
If you face difficulties in completing your assignments, you should consult your Lecturer before
the due date. Requests for extensions to submission deadlines must be made before the due
date to the Lecturer in writing, providing evidence to substantiate the reasons for the request. It
is at the Lecturer's discretion whether an extension is granted.
•
Any assignment received after the due date and time is deemed to be late. The time and date as
recorded by LMS will be used to determine timeliness. Late submissions for which an extension
has not been granted will have 10% of the total mark deducted per day following the Assessment
Policy. Where an assignment is submitted later than one week past the due date, staff may
choose to provide feedback only on the assignment without a granted extension and not provide a
mark.
This unit follows Murdoch policies and procedures with regards to extensions and late submissions,
supplementary and deferred assessment.
Students who feel that their disability, health condition or disability caring responsibilities may impact on their
capacity to meet assessment submission are strongly advised to visit Access and Inclusion as early as
possible to discuss potential needs and assistance.
5.5 Determination of the final grade
To pass this unit, students will need to obtain an aggregated grade of 50% or more. There is no
requirement to pass individual assessment components and/or complete all individual assessment
components in BUS338. Students who achieve a 45 to 49% grade in the unit MAY be offered a
supplementary assessment at the Unit Coordinator's discretion.
The Unit Coordinator has the right to moderate all marks to ensure equity of marking by different lecturers
on the same unit and/or to ensure the same range of marks on two assessment components.
Refer to the Grades Policy for information about marks and grades.
