Assignment requirements
An extensive academic practical approach research paper has been provided to you, “Is stakeholder theory really ethical?”
As a group, you are to read the report, understanding its purpose and then discuss summary of Normative and Stakeholder theory. Do you think Stakeholder theory is a part or branch of normative theory? What are the issue identified in this literature and how you can resolve these issues?
This will require further research by your group to understand the background, a clear understanding of the relevance of each phase and a discussion as to where this will lead, what the likely outcomes are and why. You should consider and include the history and practices in Australia in your report. As a conclusion, you are to include what you have learned/understood from the paper and from your findings.
Assessment
Whilst it is expected that each submission will differ, assessment consideration will be based on the effort undertaken, the research and the understanding shown. Each assignment will be considered on the merits and quality of the submission. Poor presentation and referencing will draw mark deductions.
Please note: generally marks will be the same for all group members so it is important to ensure as a group, you are satisfied with your group members’ contribution.
