For in-person assessments time limits will be applied and clearly outlined to you.
Academic Integrity Guidance	Academic integrity is the attitude of approaching your academic work honestly, by completing your own original work, attributing, and acknowledging your sources when necessary. Understanding good academic practice in written and oral work is a key element of academic integrity. It is a positive aspect of joining an academic community, showing familiarity with, and acknowledging sources of evidence. The skills you require at higher education may differ from those learned elsewhere such as school or college. You will be required to follow specific academic conventions which include acknowledging the work of others through appropriate referencing and citation as explicitly as possible. If you include ideas or quotations which have not been appropriately acknowledged, this may be seen as plagiarism which is a form of academic misconduct. If you require support around referencing, please contact the Faculty’s Academic Development Department or the University wide Centre for Academic Success. It is important to recognise that seeking out learning around academic integrity will help reduce the risk of misconduct in your work. Skills such as paraphrasing, referencing and citation are integral to acting with integrity and you can develop and advance these key academic skills through the Faculty’s Academic Development Department.
Use of Artificial Intelligence	Whilst AI tools can be helpful in assisting learning, when it comes to assessment, the Academic Misconduct Procedure is clear that this should be a student’s own original work and not the work of other people or AI tools. The Use of AI Tools – Student Guidelines follows the same guidelines your lecturers use. If you are unsure of whether AI is appropriate within your work, please read the guidelines or ask your lecturer. For advice and guidance around academic writing, please visit the Centre for Academic Success.
Academic Misconduct	Academic misconduct is conduct which has or may have the effect of providing you with an unfair advantage by relying on dishonest means to gain advantage and which therefore compromises your academic integrity. The Academic Misconduct Procedure sets out the process we will follow, and the penalties we may apply, in cases where we believe you may have compromised your academic integrity by committing academic misconduct. The Academic Misconduct Procedure and information about academic support is available at: https://icity.bcu.ac.uk/Student-Affairs/Appeals-and-Resolutions/Academic-Misconduct-Procedure

Assignment Task 1

Learning aim(s)	A: Investigate the processes that organisations use to support their activities
Assignment title	Planning business change

Vocational Scenario or Context

Click here to enter text.You have obtained a work experience position at a local medium-sized company that operates in the car rental industry. The company currently relies heavily on manual processes and basic spreadsheets to manage bookings, customer records, and vehicle availability.

The management team is aware that their current use of IT is limited and outdated. They are concerned that this is slowing down operations, causing booking errors, and reducing customer satisfaction. They have asked you to investigate how modern technology could be used to improve their business processes, increase efficiency, and make the company more competitive in the market.

Task

The director of the company has asked you to prepare a presentation for her and the company managers in which you evaluate how technology can be used to support an organisation’s aims.

Your presentation needs to cover the following:

• an explanation of the different types of business processes which can be found in a typical organisation and how these support a company’s needs
• an explanation of how businesses can use technology to support their business processes and an analysis of the impact that business processes and technology can have on an organisation

The director has also asked you to include in the presentation an evaluation of how effective various technologies can be in improving business processes and meeting an organisation’s needs. Your presentation should include some real life examples of how technology has improved business processes and your discussion of the issues must be clear, balanced and fluent.

Assignment Task 2

Learning aim(s)	B: Examine an organisation’s business processes and activities to inform improvements  C: Develop a plan to improve an organisation’s business processes and activities.
Assignment title	Planning business change

Vocational Scenario or Context

You have obtained a work experience position at a local medium-sized car rental company. They have asked you to investigate how technology can be used to improve their booking and rental process.

The current paper-based and spreadsheet-based booking system is slow and prone to errors. The company wants a process which:

• makes booking a vehicle quick and easy, ensuring all required customer and rental information is collected correctly
• prevents double-booking or selecting unavailable vehicles
• ensures that records of vehicle availability, pricing, rental duration, and customer details are accessible to all staff
• ensures that booking status and vehicle return dates are updated in real time

Task

The director of the company found your presentation on using technology to support business processes very interesting. He has now asked you to develop and evaluate a plan to improve the vehicle booking process, including the use of technology.

To do this you need to complete the following tasks:

• Have a meeting with one of the staff and discuss with them the current booking process, and review the attached booking form, taking notes on your discussions
• You should then:
  o Create a model (annotated diagram) of the current booking process.
  o Write an analysis of the current booking system and how it supports the business requirements.
  o Identify where improvements could be made in the existing process.
• Develop a plan using change management processes to improve the booking process, including the use of technology, to meet the business requirements.
• Take part in a discussion with the company director in which you review your plan, taking notes on what is said. Following your discussion, refine and improve your plan based on the feedback received and write an assessment of how useful the feedback was in helping you to improve the plan.
• Review your improved plan with the director and justify the decisions you have made in the plan. Your tutor will record the discussion to provide evidence.
• Write an evaluation in which you consider both the model of the existing booking process and your plan to improve it and how effective your suggested improvements are likely to be. Your evaluation needs to consider both positive and negative aspects and be clear, balanced and fluent with realistic examples which are specific and measurable. Present evidence that you have shown individual responsibility, effective time-management in your investigation and planning of the improvements to the business process making high-quality justified recommendations and decisions. This should include a task plan for completing the assignment and a witness testimony from your tutor. For example, you need to show how you have:
• Planned and managed your time and met targets.
• Reviewed and responded to outcomes including the use of feedback from others.
• Behaved appropriately while completing the assignment – including professionalism, etiquette, being supportive of others, timely and appropriate leadership, accountability and individual responsibility.
• Evaluated outcomes to help inform high-quality justified recommendations and decisions.
• Used appropriate methods of communication effectively.

Analyze the local, state, or federal policy you chose to address your social justice issue

In this assignment, you will analyze the local, state, or federal policy you chose to address your social justice issue, including providing background on the development of the policy and evaluating its effectiveness and feasibility.

Remember that the feasibility of a policy relates not only to its economic feasibility but also to its political and social impact. You will also identify the policy constraints that inhibit the policy from most effectively reaching your targeted population.

Continue to consult the United States Congress website, the Government Accountability Office, public policy analysis research and reports, and other peer-reviewed research to support your analysis. Also, use the NASW Code of Ethics web page.

Analyze the development of your chosen policy.

• Analyze the historical background that led to the development of the policy.

• Define the goals of the policy and how these goals are intended to be met, including services and programs intended to achieve the goals.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of the policy with respect to the target population.

• Consider how well the policy has met the needs of your target population and to what extent it improves the social justice problem you initially researched. Does the policy seem to ignore, impede, or strengthen the social functioning of the target population?

• To what extent does the policy meet or improve the social values of the target population?

• To what extent does the policy adhere to best practice ethics and best practice standards?

• If the outcome of your analysis is that best practice ethics and standards are not being adhered to, include that information in your analysis as well.

• Evaluate the feasibility of the policy.

• Is the policy politically, economically, and administratively feasible? Provide details and rationale.

• Identify the policy constraints that inhibit the policy from fully addressing the problem for the chosen population.

• Have other constraints arisen since the passage of the policy that have made conditions worse or better for the chosen population?

Guidelines

• Support your claims and recommendation with clear rationale and support from scholarly, peer-reviewed literature.

Additional Requirements

The assignment you submit is expected to meet the following requirements:

• Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message

• APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.

• Cited resources: A minimum of six scholarly sources. Most literature cited should be current, with publication dates within the past five years.

• Length of paper: 5 typed, double-spaced pages.
