Group assignment Specifications
Purpose:
This HI6005 Management in a Global Environment assignment aims at ensuring that students have familiarised themselves with a general framework of at least one management related topic. Students will be required to apply relevant theoretical concepts with the use of practical examples in most cases in a written research paper.
Details:
Organise yourselves into groups of 4 students.
Please choose from one of the following topics from the list (see below).
Research on the broad topic is a group activity and each student must contribute to that work. Each student in the group will then research, in depth an individual component drawn from the broad research topic. There are two parts in the group HI6005 Management in a Global Environment assignment:
- Appendix Writing
- Research Report Writing

Group tools
Your instructor chooses which communication and collaboration tools are available to your group. If you want to use a tool but don’t find on your group’s page, ask your instructor to enable it.
Group Tool | Description |
File Exchange | Group members and instructors can share files in this area. All members can add and delete files, regardless of who added them. |
Group Blog | In the group area, all members of a group can create entries for |
the same blog and build on each entry. All course members can read and comment on a group blog, but they can’t make posts unless they are members of the group. Instructors can choose to grade group blogs. All group members receive the same grade. | |
Group Journal | In the group area, all members of a group can view each other’s entries. Only group members and instructors can view a group journal. Instructors can choose to grade group journals. All group members receive the same grade. |
Send Email | Group members can email individual members or the entire group. |
You can’t create folders in file exchange. With your group, decide how you want to name files so that they are easier to locate in a long list.
Add a file to the file exchange
Group Tools > File Exchange > Add File
Add a name for file you want to upload. Browse for the file and submit.
You can also delete any file if you wish. On the File Exchange page, select Delete in the file’s menu. But it would be good to keep all the files for any future reference.
Group Blog
All the group members can discuss about the HI6005 Management in a Global Environment assignment by using Group Blog. Once you are allocated in a group, you can see this function.
Group > Group Tools > Group Blog > Create Blog Entry

Academic Integrity
Holmes Institute is committed to ensuring and upholding Academic Integrity, as Academic Integrity is integral to maintaining academic quality and the reputation of Holmes’ graduates. Accordingly, all assessment tasks need to comply with academic integrity guidelines. Table 1 identifies the six categories of Academic Integrity breaches. If you have any questions about Academic Integrity issues related to your assessment tasks, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines and support resources. Many of these resources can also be found through the Study Sills link on Blackboard.
Academic Integrity breaches are a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from deduction of marks, failure of the assessment task or unit involved, suspension of course enrolment, or cancellation of course enrolment.
Table 1: Six categories of Academic Integrity breaches
Plagiarism | Reproducing the work of someone else without attribution. When a student submits their own work on multiple occasions this is known as self-plagiarism. |
Collusion | Working with one or more other individuals to complete an assignment, in a way that is not authorised. |
Copying | Reproducing and submitting the work of another student, with or without their knowledge. If a student fails to take reasonable precautions to prevent their own original work from being copied, this may also be considered an offence. |
Impersonation | Falsely presenting oneself, or engaging someone else to present as oneself, in an in-person examination. |
Contract cheating | Contracting a third party to complete an assessment task, generally in exchange for money or other manner of payment. |
Data fabrication and falsification | Manipulating or inventing data with the intent of supporting false conclusions, including manipulating images. |

Holmes Adapted Harvard Referencing Rules
Holmes has implemented a revised Harvard approach to referencing. The following rules apply:
- Reference sources in assignments are limited to sources that provide full-text access to the source’s content
for lecturers and markers.
- The reference list must be located on a separate page at the end of the essay and titled: “References”.
- The reference list must include the details of all the in-text citations, arranged A-Z alphabetically by author surname with each reference numbered (1 to 10, etc.) and each reference MUST include a hyperlink to the full text of the cited reference source. For example:
- All assignments must include in-text citations to the listed references. These must include the surname of the author/s or name of the authoring body, year of publication, page number of the content, and paragraph where the content can be found. For example, “The company decided to implement an enterprise-wide data warehouse business intelligence strategies (Hawking et al., 2004, p3(4)).”
Non-Adherence to Referencing Rules
Where students do not follow the above rules:
- For students who submit HI6005 Management in a Global Environment assignments that do not comply with the rules, a 10% penalty will be applied.
- As per the Student Handbook, late penalties will apply each day after the student/s has been notified of the due date.
- Students who comply with rules and the citations are “fake” will be reported for academic misconduct.
