Enterprise leadership
Company allocation – Woolworths
Company name – Woolworths Group Limited
ASX – WOW
Industry sector – Food and staples retailing
Topic (area of search) – Decision Making
Report – 1000 words
– Explain the factors that affect how managers make good decisions.
– What issues and challenges have you identified based on your area of research with the company you have been allocated
– What do you recommend for the company to improve its effectiveness and efficiency in your area of research?
– Recommendations for improvements or changes in decision making processes at your selected company.
When researching the company your group has been allocated you will need to make sure you have presented – a background about the company, a literature review about the topic and theory (area of research), the issues and challenges (what you think the company is not doing well) and finally make recommendations that the company may consider to improve based on the area of research you have been allocated.
Students are required to act as enterprise leaders and therefore the issues you identify as a group should be based on what you have identified from the research you have conducted. The recommendations should not be based on what the company is already doing but rather what you, as enterprise leaders, think the company can do to better. Students are encouraged to use as many resources as needed to achieve a great outcome in this assessment. In addition to the textbook students must use peer reviewed articles, business databases and relevant media sources.
Useful Information: Company annual reports should not be seen as the sole source of information; groups should use other sources such as Factiva (e.g. articles from the [Australian] Financial Review) and IBIS (provides reports on companies) – both of which are available through e-resources on the UWS Library site.
Other sources such as the ASX company information and announcements database, Who’s Who in Australia, Who’s Who in Business in Australia, etc. could be useful for specific presentation topics.
