Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion

Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.

As a student, you are required to:

· undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity

· ensure that academic work is in no way falsified

· seek permission to use the work of others, where required

· acknowledge the work of others appropriately

· take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse your work.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material sourced from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.

Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others are being used, which includes:

· paraphrasing and presenting work or ideas without a reference

· copying work either in whole or in part

· presenting designs, codes or images as your own work

· using phrases and passages verbatim without quotation marks or referencing the author or web page

· reproducing lecture notes without proper acknowledgement.

Collusion

Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of someone else.

Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.

Collusion occurs when you work without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:

· Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work

· Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task

· Allow someone else to write or edit your work (without rto approval)

· Write or edit work for another student

· Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.

Both collusion and plagiarism can occur in group work. For examples of plagiarism, collusion and academic misconduct in group work please refer to the RTO’s policy on Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion.

Plagiarism and collusion constitute cheating. Disciplinary action will be taken against students who engage in plagiarism and collusion as outlined in RTO’s policy.

Proven involvement in plagiarism or collusion may be recorded on students’ academic file and could lead to disciplinary action.

Read the case study below and respond to questions 1 to 4.

Context: Mario of A-Four Printing in Melbourne, Australia is planning to start a new branch in regional Victoria. His risk assessment manager, Sarah is a qualified ISO 9001 auditor and has worked with Australian Government on a number of similar projects. Mario has asked Sarah to perform due diligence and a detailed risk analysis and management of the business before suggesting a new branch in regional Victoria.

Sarah knows the importance of reviewing organisational processes and procedures before undertaking risk analysis and management according to the current risk management standards to establish risk context and scope. Considering the set requirements, Sarah has reviewed some options and shortlisted a few areas with better connectivity to public transport, good infrastructure and skilled workforce.

As Sarah, Risk Assessment Manager at A-Four Printing, answer the following questions.

Question 1: What steps must you take to establish the risk management context? Identify five (5) steps based upon the above-mentioned case study. Write your answer in 150-200 words.

Question 2: A well-established scope for risk management process is essential before establishing the risk management context.

What should be included in a well-established risk management process scope? Answer in 150-200 words.

Question 3: Identify any five (5) internal and any five (5) external stakeholders who can help you in identifying risks related to opening a new office branch?

Question 4: Answer the following questions:

1. Why must an organisation review political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental policy context before establishing the risk management context and risk management plan?

1. What are the benefits of reviewing these factors? (Explain in 150-200 words)

Question 5: Read the case study below.

Big business is attractive, with huge profits for some. However, there's something to be said about small business as well, with lower risk and the potential for creativity. Mario of A-Four Printing in Melbourne found success in his business by pursuing customers with both large and small orders. A-Four started out catering only to large orders and the shop sat idle in between orders.

Through effective scheduling and transparent pricing, they were able to fill in idle times with smaller orders. A-Four found profit in a market segment that other local screen printers were not eager to fill. Specialists believe this was a smart strategic move, allowing A-Four to spread out risk in their business and offer customised products. Some company employees were upset though, because of the adjustments required for the small orders, pointing out that this may affect the large orders, and moving forward may hurt the company's productivity.

Using the case study as an example, why is it important to review and evaluate strengths and weaknesses of existing arrangements in an organisation? Write your answer in 150-200 words.

Question 6: Why must you document critical success factors, goals or objectives for the areas included in the scope of risk management process? Answer in 150-200 words.

Question 7: As a risk manager, how would you gain support for risk management activities from the employees in your organisation? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

Question 8: Answer the following questions:

a. Mention any three (3) relevant parties you may approach for participation in risk management processes?

b. Why should you communicate with relevant parties about the risk management process and invite them for participation? Write your answer in 50-100 words

c. What are the benefits of communicating with interested parties and inviting participation regarding the risk management processes? Write your answer in 30-50 words

Question 9: Documenting the context provides an overview of the organisation, its objectives and specific criteria for business success, the objectives and scope of the risk assessment activity and a set of key elements for structuring the risk identification activity.

Explain the above statement in 200-250 words.

Question 10: Read the case study below and answer the questions:

For any business, the safety of its employees and customers is a major concern.

However, complying with workplace health and safety regulations and completing detailed risk assessments was, in the past, a daunting administrative burden for many organisations.

Small businesses were often bewildered by the task of completing an assessment. Larger organisations sometimes found that the fast-moving nature of their business meant it was difficult to keep up with the amount of detailed documentation required. Some would hire expensive external consultancies to complete assessments for them.

If you run a small business, every detail impacts on the service you can offer to customers. Will your suppliers deliver on time? Are your employees up to speed on everything? And, of course, are you able to find time to handle all the red tape and admin involved?

"We complete all our assessments in-house but because we have so many shops and the assessments themselves are so diverse - there are 26 generic risks to a typical small office - the paperwork volume was very high" admits the Manager of Health & Safety Manager for the organisation.

But for this company, and thousands of other businesses, the time-consuming complexities of health and safety risk assessments have now been simplified with the recent introduction of a one stop online service.

Now, employers of all types can find all the guidance and information they need to complete their risk assessments in one place, on the website. Simple, easy to understand, industry-specific risk management plans are available to download as well as examples of common control measures.

Bill has worked in health and safety regulation for l6 years. He says this new online service for employers is a major step forward.

"Now it’s all there for you, whatever type of risk your business faces. It's very simple. It's the best thing that has happened in the safety area for our industry - there’s no reason why any business, large or small, can’t follow this online procedure."

"The new online service simplifies the whole thing so much; it's actually improved industry standards. It's that simple."

Questions:

a. What is the major concern/risk for any company, how severe can the impact be and how likely can it occur? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

b. How effective do you think companies are in managing their major risk concerns by utilising the one stop online service? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

c. In the context of both small and large organisations, what do you think are the major challenges in complying with health and safety regulations? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

d. What are the major attributes any online service like one stop solutions should have to effectively serve the potential customers? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

e. What do you think are the major risks that any small business has to face in everyday life? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

f. “There is no reason why any organisation, large or small, can’t follow this online procedure” Up to what extent do you agree with this comment made by manager and why? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

Question 11: Timely and appropriate communication with stakeholders is critical in order for the emergency risk management process to flow smoothly.

Question 24: Read the case study below.

In 2000, a fire at the Philips microchip plant affected phone manufacturers Nokia and Ericsson. The companies reacted in different ways, and ultimately, Ericsson did not do well, quitting the mobile phone business and allowing Nokia to win over the European market. While Ericsson had tied up all of its key components in a single source and planned to wait out the problem with the fire, Nokia worked to snatch up spare chips from other plants and suppliers, as well as re-engineer some of their phones to adapt to different chips from new suppliers. It's not hard to imagine what happened after that. Nokia kept trucking along, while Ericsson suffered from months of lost production and sales, allowing the market to be dominated by Nokia. This incident and fallout are a classic lesson in supply chain risk management.

Identify the risks involved and strategies which are used or could be used to manage them. Describe in 100-150 words

Question 25: Read the following case study.

Hairdressing has always been an important part of Erik Lander's life. Back in the mid-seventies his parents opened a small hairdressing business in Melbourne. Today, the salon remains a family business.

Running a busy unisex salon with ten employees, however, involves much more than cutting, styling or coloring hair.

There are key safety issues to consider too. Hairdressing products can carry risks of eye or skin irritation for both staff and customers. And even something as commonplace as shampooing carries risks for everyone in the salon.

"Water, through the wash basins, is a major area of risk - people might slip on wet floors" explains Erik.

Some products also contain chemicals causing skin irritation and allergic reaction.

"And with wet work -- when staff are constantly shampooing 20-30 times a day - there's a risk of occupational dermatitis, a major issue in our industry."

Discuss the process you would complete if asked to evaluate if the salon owner has implemented sufficient risk management processes? Write your answer in 150-200 words.

Question 26: What are scope risks? Write your answer in 150-200 words

Question 27: Identify eight (8) you can identify scope risks provide an explanation for each on how they can be used. Write your answer in 350-400 words

Question 28: Answer the following questions:

0. What is the hierarchy of control and why is it used? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

0. Identify and explain the five (5) hazard controls in the hierarchy? Write your answer in 100-150 words

Question 29: How do action plans for managing risk assist in the implementation and evaluation of risk treatments? Write your answer in 150-200 words.
