Group Case project 2500 words (25%) Due week 8.
Groups will be formed in week 2 and finalized in week 3. The groups will be between 3 and 4 members. They will self-form, although diversification within and between groups is encouraged. Consider the makeup of your group.
Each group will conduct a comprehensive case analysis and write a report on the case study allocated for week 8: “United Cereal: Lora Brill’s Eurobrand Challenge”. The respective groups are expected to analyse the key issues in international business confronting the company and assess how the company might respond to them.
This analysis should include a critical analysis. In other words, logical thinking and rational deconstruction of case information.
Browne and Keeley (2001, p. 2) define critical thinking as:
1.an awareness of a set of interrelated critical questions
2.the ability to ask and answer critical questions at appropriate times
3.the desire to actively use the critical questions.
When we think critically we are being active; we are not passively accepting everything we read and hear, but questioning, evaluating, making judgements, finding connections and categorising. It means being open to other points of view and not being blinded by our own biases.
Conflict resolution
If there are any issues within the group, group members should immediately contact the lecturer. The lecturer and only the lecturer will resolve any group issues. This may involve a reduced mark for individuals if it can be proven that they contributed less than the other group members.
