Assessment One: Individual Audio Podcast.
You will need to select one of the four organisations identified below and
then record a maximum of a 5 minute audio podcast to be uploaded to
Blackboard that addresses the current issues and/or problems that the
organisation is encountering. Your podcast should be stnictured so that it
focuses upon:
The current performance of the organisation.
The reasons for the current performance (this could be competitive
forces, poor decision-making, internal organisational problems, market
changes and wider macro-environmental factors etc),
A recommendation as to a suitable course of action for the organisation to
now pursue (re-investment, divestment, change of culture/leadership etc)
Note:
Each student must ALSO upload a full word document transcript of the
podcast to Tumitin, which should also include at its end a complete
reference list of sources. These sources should not be read out as part of
the podcast however.
Audio files will first need to be recorded using your own; PC, laptop, tablet,
smariphone etc. Windows has its own ‘sound recorder’ on all of its
operating systems that will also work.
