Application of learning and knowledge to decision making.       (40% marks)

Almost no links between learning and the simulation exercise, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding or insufficient learning by the student.

A very limited link between learning and simulation exercise, providing evidence that the student has some limited understanding of the concepts.

A limited link between learning and simulation exercise, providing evidence that the student has some limited understanding of the concepts.

An adequate link between learning and simulation exercise with some linkages made between

elements of the decisions and the learning but the evaluation and analysis needs to be strengthened.

Application of learning is good, but interdependence of business functions not recognized, the nature of responsibility in decision making needs to be strengthened and further analysis.

Application of learning is very good, with very good critical evaluation of business functions.

Very good critical evaluation of the decision based on learning from the rest of module. Some appreciation of functional interdependence within business areas.

Excellent application of learning with critical evaluation and analysis of business functions.

 A brilliant evaluation of the decision-making processes, demonstrating thorough application of learning and responsible decision making. A good and clear appreciation of the interdependence of business functions.

Evidence provided from the simulation (20%)

No evidence that the student attended any of the classes or understands how decisions are made responsibly hence completely insufficient understanding of its role or importance.

Little evidence that the student has made any use of the learning and is insufficient in demonstrating this use of learning in a business environment.

Little evidence that the student has made any use of the learning and is insufficient in demonstrating this use of learning in a business environment.

Some evidence that the student has made some links between the decision-making processes in the context of social or environmental contexts.

Good evidence of links between learning and simulation exercise with some linkages made between

elements of the decisions and the learning.

Exceptionally good critical evidence of links between learning and simulation exercise with some linkages made between

elements of the decisions and the learning.

Excellent critical evidence of links between learning and simulation exercise with good linkages made between

elements of the decisions and the learning.

Knowledge and application of  

international models.

 (40% marks)

The student is completely insufficient in demonstrating understanding of knowledge and application of strategic models in the simulation exercise. Inability to use the learning from studio session in an effective way.

Very poor choice of measures, no application of business management and organizational functions.

The student is somewhat insufficient in demonstrating understanding of knowledge and application of strategic models in the simulation exercise. The report fails to convey an appreciation of the link between strategy, decision-making and performance.

Descriptive decision-making, devoid of simulated studio data. It does not convey real understanding in a sufficient way.

The student is somewhat insufficient in demonstrating understanding of knowledge and application of strategic models in the simulation exercise. The report fails to convey an appreciation of the link between strategy, decision-making and performance.

Descriptive decision-making, devoid of simulated studio data. It does not convey real understanding in a sufficient way.

The student has demonstrated an adequate understanding of knowledge and application of strategic models in the simulation exercise.

The report is adequate, but there are some weaknesses in coherence of ideas and writing. An adequate understanding of what happened in the simulation studio is evident, but the linking together of strategy, decision-making and performance is limited.

The student has demonstrated a good explanation and understanding of knowledge and application of strategic models in the simulation exercise.

 The quality of the report is good, with a high-level discussion on how decisions in each functional area have affected performance. Although there is probably more scope for a critical evaluation

of what happened in the simulation studio.

Very good discussion with sound analysis and a clear link between

decisions, strategy, targets, and outcomes.

 There is evidence of clear critical thinking, demonstrating awareness of how decisions in each functional area affected performance. It shows how the organization met its objectives and a critical analysis of events in the simulation studio.

Excellent discussion with sound analysis and a good understanding of  

decisions, strategy, targets, and outcomes.

 There is sufficient evidence of clear critical thinking, demonstrating awareness of how decisions in each functional area affected performance. It shows how the organization met its objectives and a critical analysis of events in the simulation studio.
