You are reminded that electronic transmission is not immediate. The network traffic may be particularly heavy on the date of submission deadline and connections to the system cannot be guaranteed. Hence, you are advised to submit your work early. Canvas will allow you to submit your work late but your work will be subjected to the mark-deduction scheme. You should therefore not jeopardise your course result by submitting your ECA at the last minute.

It is your responsibility to check and ensure that your files are successfully submitted to Canvas.

F – Plagiarism and Collusion

Plagiarism and collusion are forms of cheating and are not acceptable in any form in a student’s work, including this ECA. Plagiarism and collusion are taking work done by others or work done together with others respectively and passing it off as your own. You can avoid plagiarism by giving appropriate references when you use other people’s ideas, words or pictures (including diagrams). Refer to the APA Manual if you need reminding about quoting and referencing. You can avoid collusion by ensuring that your submission is based on your own individual effort.

The electronic submission of your ECA will be screened by plagiarism detection software. For more information about plagiarism and collusion, you should refer to the Student Handbook (Section 5.2.1.3). You are reminded that SUSS takes a tough stance against plagiarism or collusion. Serious cases will normally result in the student being referred to SUSS’s Student Disciplinary Group. For other cases, significant mark penalties or expulsion from the course will be imposed.

G – Use of Generative AI Tools (Allowed)

The use of generative AI tools is allowed for this assignment.

• You are expected to provide proper attribution if you use generative AI tools while completing the assignment, including appropriate and discipline-specific citation, a table detailing the name of the AI tool used, the approach to using the tool (e.g. what prompts were used), the full output provided by the tool, and which part of the output was adapted for the assignment;
• To take note of section 3, paragraph 3.2 and section 5.2, paragraph 2A.1 (Viva Voce) of the Student Handbook;
• The University has the right to exercise the viva voce option to determine the authorship of a student’s submission should there be reasonable grounds to suspect that the submission may not be fully the student’s own work.
• For more details on academic integrity and guidance on responsible use of generative AI tools in assignments, please refer to the TLC website for more details;
• The University will continue to review the use of generative AI tools based on feedback and in light of developments in AI and related technologies. (Full marks: 100)

Section A (100 marks)

Answer all questions in this section.

Question 1

Assessment Context

This assessment evaluates your ability to apply strategic human capital and talent management concepts to a real organisational context, drawing on course frameworks, research, and professional judgement.

Organisational Context Selection

Students are encouraged to draw on:

• Their current organisation, or
• A recent organisation they have worked in (e.g. full-time, part-time, internship, or project-based work).

Students who are not currently working, or who have limited organisational experience, may instead base their analysis on:

• A previous internship, project, or part-time role, or
• A well-researched real organisation of their choice operating in a relevant industry.

Organisational details may be anonymised where necessary. Students are not expected to have access to confidential organisational data. Reasoned assumptions supported by course concepts and external research are acceptable. Students will be assessed on the quality of analysis, application of frameworks, and justification of recommendations, rather than on their employment status.
