Assignments submitted without a bibliography will not be accepted. Plagiarism will be dealt with in accordance with the Faculty . It is accepted that students will assist each other with problems associated with their studies and discuss issues with each other. Sometimes advice may be sought by one student from others relating to minor issues of comprehension, interpretation or further explanation of a point made by the lecturer during a class. Students, however, must undertake all assigned work, independently.
Presentation is an important part of all written work, and a skill, which needs to be developed.
Assignments, which have serious deficiencies in this regard, will be penalised. The examination will assess individual knowledge and skills in addition to providing an incentive to complete the unit. The format of the examination will require students to complete a number of concise essays which will demonstrate students' understanding of principles of economics underpinning rational managerial decisions, corporate and marketing strategies. In its present format, the unit is offered for the first time in 2001. Therefore, no past year examination papers are available.
