Assessment 1: Industry and Organisation Research Report (including Ethics Plan) (30%)
You are required to conduct research on the industry and the organisation that you are going to for
your industry placement. Provide as much information about the organisation as you can, imagining
that you are applying for a job with them. Where possible research people within the organisation to
determine their background, interests, achievements and connections. All of this information may
be useful to you in your placement.
Search the media to discover any events, incidents, controversies and any other positive or
negative press regarding the business, their competitors, employees, associates, products, services
and the industry.
In your report, you must use the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a tool in your endeavour to
understand the organisation. Further, you must analyse the business macro-environment using the
PESTEL analysis.
Prepare a report on your research with headings and/or appendices and sources of information. Do
not simply regurgitate the articles and data. You need to analyse and interpret the information and
present it in a professional, succinct and informative manner. Do not speculate! Consider the
integrity of the source of the information and the relevance of the information for your purpose.
Provide a plan setting out a step-by-step process to deal with ethical challenges which you may face
in the workplace, based on an identified code of ethics, as provided by your learning facilitator. Give
a practical example of an ethical challenge which could arise.
