Unit description Unit description
International business includes all business activities that involve business organisations from two or more countries. Although international business has many similarities with domestic business, there are significant differences which this unit examines. At an international level, managers must accommodate a highly complex environment. Key variables in this environment include: different currencies; different government policies concerning trade; subsidies and controls on foreign investment; as well as the variables that exist in any domestic environment such as competition, costs and customer characteristics. Topics examined in the unit include: forms of international business; the political and cultural context of international business; theories of international trade and investment; regional economic integration; and an introduction to multilateral institutions such as the IMF, the World Bank group and the World Trade Organisation.

The Homework is worth 20% of the final grade.

Each week there will be homework set that will be due in the following week’s tutorial. Details will be published separately on iLearn.

It will be reviewed in the tutorial on the weeks indicated. There will be 6 random collections of this homework throughout the semester and the highest 4 results that you achieve will be considered as your homework mark. Each collection will have a total maximum value of 5 marks. This work must be completed on a computer before class and submitted after the homework has been discussed. You are encouraged to make additional notes on the homework in class during the review. It will be marked and returned to you the following week as a valuable revision paper.

No extensions will be granted. Late tasks will be accepted up to 24 hours after the submission deadline.  There will be a deduction of 50% of the total available marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission – 50% penalty). This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for unavoidable disruption is made and approved.

3.  GROUP REPORT

 The Group Report is worth 25% of the final grade. It is due in Week 12 in tutorials.

 In your designated group you will develop a 4500 word written REPORT on the topic allocated during the semester.

You have been asked to write a report outlining how Australia would be able to build sustainable, national competitive advantage in one of the three following industries.

  • Medical devices industry
  • Fashion industry
  • International education

Your report should draw upon new trade theory and Porter’s theory of national competitive advantage as the basis of your analysis.

In the body of your report you will need to provide the following

  • Brief outline of each of the theories
  • Outline the current position and issues of the Australian industry you have chosen
  • Outline and justify what industry strategies and government policies you would recommend be adopted to improve Australia’s position in the industry for the short and long term.

As this is a group exercise all members of the group are expected to contribute actively and substantially. While it is understood that some members of the group may provide more input in the research, whereas others may do more of the actual written work, the group will be required to acknowledge that all group members have given quality time to the project.

While writing your report, you should incorporate relevant theories and concepts to justify your arguments. Remember to acknowledge your sources throughout the paper using the Harvard referencing system (in-text referencing).

The report is to be typed and 1.5 spaced (a standard 12 point font should be used).  It should be checked for spelling, consistency and clarity of expression. 

Your report should incorporate at least 30 different references.  These can be sourced from the following:

  • Academic articles
  • Relevant textbooks
  • Periodicals
  • Newspapers
  • Relevant online sources

The 30 references need to be evenly balanced between these five resource options. Examples of all of these reference options are detailed in this outline. 

No extensions will be granted. Late tasks will be accepted up to 72 hours after the submission deadline.  There will be a deduction of 10% of the total available marks made from the total awarded mark for each 24 hour period or part thereof that the submission is late (for example, 25 hours late in submission – 20% penalty). This penalty does not apply for cases in which an application for unavoidable disruption is made and approved.

All group work is peer moderated

In Week 11 each student will submit a peer evaluation assessment for each member in their group (including themselves).  This will then allow a peer factor to be allocated to the Group’s raw score for each individual student, allowing a dispersion of marks within the same group.  This peer factor is kept confidential. (See Appendix 1)

NOTE: Assessment Components – GROUP REPORT TURNITIN

Remember your  group report must be your own work. Therefore, your assignment must be submitted to Turnitin on iLearn. A link to Turnitin and instructions on how to submit an assignment to Turnitin will be provided.

Please note that when submitting your essay and report you must include the following:

• Cover sheet with student/s name, student ID number, tutorial/class enrolment number, tutorial day and time;

• Turnitin receipt email. This email provides time and date proof of assignment submission to the Turnitin system; and

• Printed copy of the ‘Originality Report’ from Turnitin.

Any submission not containing a student cover sheet, a print out of the Turnitin Receipt email stating time/date of submission, as well as the Turnitin Originality report will not be marked.

In terms of the group report, each group is responsible for assessing its level of plagiarism. Although you can submit the report to Turnitin as many times as you like before the due date, only the final submission will count to Turnitin. Any Turnitin Report with 20%+ plagiarism will be carefully reviewed and marks deducted equivalent to the percentage plagiarised.

Students will be placed in a group, even if they are not present on the day Groups are set up and topics assigned. If a student is not present the lecturer will send them a portal message informing them which group they are in.  It is the individual responsibility of all students to attend class, to read portal messages, meet with the other group members and to establish group tasks and meeting arrangements. If a student does not participate in this Group task they will not be eligible for the mark given to the other group members nor will they be awarded any marks for the assessment.
On successful completion you will be able to:
  • Analyse the complexity of the international business environment by understanding international business trends along with the changes and contrasts between foreign markets through the differences in their legal, cultural, economic, and political systems.
  • Identify the core principles of contemporary IB theory to international business development and practice through the study of international trade and investment, FDI, regional economic integration and international monetary systems.
  • Analyse and integrate literature on international business to create a coherent, practical, rigorous argument.
  • Critically evaluate and reflect upon international business decisions, systems and policies through the use of applied questions and case study analysis.
