AssessmentThere are three pieces of assessment for this course: Assessment 1:First is an individual piece of assessment. This needs to be completed by yourself, without consulting anyone. Assessment 2:Second is group assessment, where you have to collide your individual literature reviews and work on one of the following challenges based on the case study that ZURU provide: 1. Inflationary pressures and retail price increases: state of the landscape in USA, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand. Across fast moving consumer goods and toys2. Freight & logistic constraints: research into best in class examples of how business have been agile in adapting to these challenges through COVID. Strategies that other companies have implemented and how they can be applied to FMCG/Toys3. Manufacturing landscape: moving from globalisation to localisation. A look at industries moving out of China for production- and where they are best gaining efficiencies by market.You can choose your own groups within first two weeks of the semester. If you have not formed a group within first two weeks, you will be assigned to a group randomly in week 3 of the course. Group assessments need to be completed based on discussions in your group. Each group will submit only one completed output. Details can be found on Learn. Assessment 3: This is a group pitch of your proposed solution to ZURU. Each group needs to develop a poster and a 60 second presentation, during which your idea needs to be sellable. This will be done during a symposium, where each group will present to everyone who is attending. ZURU will provide sample of the toys that we can display at the symposium, so students are welcome to invite their families to come and support them, as well as young siblings that might enjoy playing with the toys. The winning team will receive a prize from ZURU including a ZURU hamper (including Edge products) and internship interview opportunities. GradingThe marks for each piece of assessment may be standardized before a final grade is determined.Assessment In Te Reo MāoriIn recognising that Te Reo Māori is an official language of New Zealand, the University provides for students who may wish to use the Te Reo Māori in their assessment.
