Syllabus
This unit focuses on the practice and concepts of sustainable strategic management through the introduction of
appropriate theoretical models, frameworks and practices of sustainable organisational strategies. The central
issue of the unit is the achievement of competitive advantage: internal and external drivers of competitive
advantage, the link between strategy formulation and implementation, the role of strategic leadership in
formulating and implementing strategy for creating and sustaining competitive advantage.
Introduction
Strategic Management today demands advanced skills, navigating complexities such as international expansion,
network advantage, and resource optimisation. The essence of this critical management aspect lies in adept
analysis. Managers must stay abreast of effective strategies through insightful analysis and implementation. This
unit is meticulously designed to address these contemporary demands, emphasising practical analysis tools
practitioners use.
From diverse analytical approaches to tackling real-world business challenges, students will engage in hands-on
analyses essential for the workplace. The curriculum is curated to encompass current issues and incorporate the
latest analytical perspectives. This unit offers invaluable insights for both seasoned managers and those aspiring
to leadership roles, providing practical analysis skills relevant to real business scenarios. Through interactive class
activities and purposeful assignments, we ensure a dynamic and enriching learning experience grounded in
practical analysis techniques.
Unit Learning Outcomes

All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These
inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills
and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the
Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process
referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know,
understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully
designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of
the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.
Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities
through the assurance of learning processes in each unit.

Detailed information on assessment tasks
1.
ASSESSMENT ONE
Assessment 1 is based on your class discussions and activities and interactions with class learners who engage with one


Marketing
another to deepen your understanding and learning of knowledge and events. As such, this means these discussions
and activities are reflective, cooperative and designed to share learning. The focus of these class discussions and
learning activities is to share knowledge (personal and obtained via additional research), ask questions, seek
clarification and deepen understanding of unit materials as they apply to strategic management. Your class is your
learning community whose success of the community depends on the active participation of every student.
You are allocated a maximum of 20 per cent of your unit grade for Assessment 1 by evaluating your efforts in sharing
your own personal learning experiences, outcomes and insights on weekly activities; increasing engagement of peers
through raising key questions; expanding class learning by offering insights, thoughts and suggestions to others'
questions; succinctness and quality of contributions to class discussions and class learning activities; your integration
of unit material and scholarly references into discussions.
l Instructions for completing Assessment 1

Starting from week 3, you need to write 400-500 words every week about one of the weekly activities outlined in
Blackboard> Learning Modules. Submit your reflective notes to the Assessment folder via the Turnitin link. No
references or in-text citations are required. We will use Miro in class for weekly activities. Utilise your notes on Miro and
those of your classmates to answer the activity and write a reflective note highlighting what you have learned. Every
week, you can collect a maximum of two (2) marks.
Reflective notes allow one to explore and articulate personal thoughts and insights from experiences, activities, or
learning moments. When crafting reflective notes, it's essential to delve into your thoughts and feelings, examining
how a particular experience has influenced your understanding or perspectives about a topic. Start by describing the
experience objectively, then delve into your own feelings, and finally, reflect on the significance of the experience in
your learning journey. Consider the broader implications of what you've learned. This process not only reinforces your
understanding of the subject matter but also enhances your ability to apply insights in future situations.
The following Rubric is the grading key for assessing your learning portfolio contribution. It provides some background
on the differences between meeting the minimum standards for the assignment versus outstanding contributions to
the assignment.
The file name of your Word Document for Assessment 1 should follow this format: Surname_FirstName_ Week
number.docx. For example, Jones_Bob_Week 3.Ass1.docx. Once uploaded and checked for academic integrity, the
Instructor will allocate the grade to the grade centre.

Digital strategies are like well-thought-out plans that use technology to help businesses achieve their goals.
Businesses rely heavily on digital platforms to connect with customers, make things run smoothly, and stay
competitive. A good digital strategy involves using technology smartly in areas like marketing, sales, and internal
processes. This can mean using online stores and data to make smart decisions, connecting with people through
social media, and ensuring the online presence is smooth. Because technology keeps changing, businesses
must adapt and develop new ideas to stay in the game. A successful digital strategy comes from understanding
the people you're trying to reach, keeping up with what's happening in your industry, and always trying to improve. A
good digital strategy makes a business look good online and helps it succeed in the digital age.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating)

Academic Integrity

behaviour and responsibilities. Information on these topics can be found on the Academic Integrity Website.
Academic Integrity Warnings
An Academic Integrity Warning may be issued to a student in limited circumstances and only where misconduct is
not involved.
Academic Misconduct
Staff members are required to report poor academic practice and suspected misconduct. Academic Misconduct
means conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work. This includes all
types of plagiarism, cheating, collusion, falsification or fabrication of content, and behaviours like falsifying
medical certificates for extension. Contract cheating, the use of file sharing, translation services/apps,
paraphrasing tools (text-spinners), article generators, and assignment help websites also may be considered
academic misconduct.
Check your assessment instructions carefully before using any generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) software
(e.g. Chat GPT, Midjourney, GitHub Copilot, etc.). You are not permitted to use Gen-AI software in any assessment
task unless written permission is explicitly granted by the Unit Coordinator (e.g. within Blackboard or the
assignment specifications). If the use of Gen-AI software has been approved, you must document its use, apply
appropriate acknowledgement and attribution rules, and include a statement as to the nature and extent of the
use when submitting the assessment. Unapproved, inappropriate, or undisclosed use may be dishonest or unfair
behaviour, and thus considered misconduct. For further information on the use of Gen-AI software see the
Academic Integrity Website.
The longer term personal, social, and financial consequences of misconduct can be severe, so please ask your
tutors or unit coordinator if you need clarification or are unsure what to do. If your work is the subject of an
inquiry, you will be given an opportunity to respond and appropriate support will be provided. Academic work
under inquiry will not be graded until the process has concluded. Penalties for misconduct may include a warning,
a reduced or nil grade, a requirement to repeat the assessment, an annulled grade (ANN) or termination from the
course. For more information refer to Statute No.10 Student Discipline and Academic Misconduct Rules.
