2 Academic Details 2.1 Overview of the Subject Globalisation, radical technological innovation and an increasingly transient consumer base have increased the pressure for organisations to become innovative. This subject takes a view of information technology and impact of social, ethical and environmental implications of technological innovation that extends beyond the province of business applications built and used by a single organisation. You will see the importance of innovation, learn how organisations can commercialise their technological innovations and examine how the associated risks and benefits might be managed. Through the open innovation paradigm you will see how internal and external ideas can be brought together and how innovations can be transferred inward and outward through licensing, joint ventures and spin-offs. 2.2 Graduate Attributes for Undergraduate Courses Graduates of Bachelor courses from King’s Own Institute (KOI) will be able to demonstrate the attributes of a successful Bachelor degree graduate as outlined in the Australian Qualifications Framework (2nd edition, January 2013).

2.6 Review of Grade, Deferred Exams & Supplementary Exams/Assessments Review of Grade: There may be instances when you believe that your final grade in a subject does not accurately reflect your performance against the subject criteria. Section 8 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy (www.koi.edu.au) describes the grounds on which you may apply for a Review of Grade. If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the Academic staff concerned then you can apply for a formal Review of Grade within the timeframes indicated in the following sections of this subject outline - Supplementary Assessments, 3.6 Appeals Process as well as the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy. Please ensure you read the Review of Grade information before submitting an application. Review of Grade Day: KOI will hold the Review of Grade Day for all subjects studied in T219 on
Friday 01 November 2019
Only final exams will be discussed as all other assessments should have been reviewed during the trimester. If you fail one or more subjects and you wish to consider applying for a Review of Grade you MUST attend the Review of Grade Day. You will have the chance to discuss your final exam with your lecturer, and will be advised if you have valid reasons for applying for a Review of Grade (see Section 3.6 below and Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy). If you do not attend the Review of Grade Day you are considered to have accepted your results for T219. Deferred Exams: If you wish to apply for a deferred exam, you should submit an Application for Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Form before the prescribed deadline. If you miss your mid-trimester or final exam there is no guarantee you will be offered a deferred exam. You must apply within the stated timeframe and satisfy the conditions for approval to be offered a deferred exam (see Section 8.1 of the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy and the Application for Assignment Extension or Deferred Exam Forms). In assessing your request for a deferred exam, KOI will take into account the information you provide, the severity of the event or circumstance, your performance on other items of assessment in the subject, class attendance and your history of previous applications for special consideration. Deferred mid-trimester exams will be held before the end of week 9. Deferred final exams will be held on two days during week 1 or 2 in the next trimester. You will not normally be granted a deferred exam on the grounds that you mistook the time, date or place of an examination, or that you have made arrangements to be elsewhere at that time; for example, have booked plane tickets. If you are offered a deferred exam, but do not attend you will be awarded 0 marks for the exam. This may mean it becomes difficult for you to pass the subject. If you apply for a deferred exam within the required time frame and satisfy the conditions you will be advised by email (to your KOI student email address) of the time and date for the deferred exam. Please ensure that you are available to take the exam at this time.

Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that item of assessment towards your final mark in the subject. Supplementary Assessments (Exams and Assessments): A supplementary assessment may be offered to students to provide a final opportunity to demonstrate successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a subject. Supplementary assessments are only offered at the discretion of the Board of Examiners. In considering whether or not to offer a supplementary assessment, KOI will take into account your performance on all the major assessment items in the subject, your attendance, participation and your history of any previous special considerations. Students are eligible for a supplementary assessment for their final subject in a course where they fail the subject but have successfully completed all other subjects in the course. You must have completed all major assessment tasks for the subject and obtained a passing mark on at least one of the major assessment tasks to be eligible for a supplementary assessment. If you believe you meet the criteria for a supplementary assessment for the final subject in your course, but have not received an offer, complete the “Complaint, Grievance, Appeal Form” and send your form to [email protected]. The deadline for applying for supplementary assessment is the Friday of the first week of classes in the next trimester. If you are offered a supplementary assessment, you will be advised by email to your KOI student email address of the time and due date for the supplementary assessment – supplementary exams will normally be held at the same time as deferred final exams during week 1 or week 2 of the next trimester. You must pass the supplementary assessment to pass the subject. The maximum grade you can achieve in a subject based on a supplementary assessment is a PASS grade. If you: o are offered a supplementary assessment, but fail it; o are offered a supplementary exam, but do not attend; or o are offered a supplementary assessment but do not submit by the due date; you will receive a FAIL grade for the subject. 2.7 Teaching Methods/Strategies Briefly described below are the teaching methods/strategies used in this subject:
o On-campus lectures (2 hours/week) are conducted in seminar style and address the subject content, provide motivation and context and draw on the students’ experience and preparatory reading.
o Tutorials (2 hours/week) include class discussion of case studies and research papers, practice sets and problem-solving and syndicate work on group projects. Tutorial participation is an essential component of the subject and contributes to the development of graduate attributes (see section 2.2 above). It is intended that specific tutorial material such as case studies, recommended readings, review questions etc. will be made available each week in Moodle.
o Online teaching resources include class materials, readings, model answers to assignments and exercises and discussion boards. All online materials for this subject as provided by KOI will be found in the Moodle page for this subject. Students should access Moodle regularly as material may be updated at any time during the trimester
o Other contact - academic staff may also contact students either via Moodle messaging, or via email to the email address provided to KOI on enrolment.

Some notes on report writing can be found below. Report format (required for Assessment 2): Readers of reports expect certain information to be in certain places. They do not expect to search for what they want and the harder you make it for them the more likely they are to toss your report to one side and ignore it. So what should you do? o Follow the generally accepted format for a report: Title/Table of Contents, Executive Summary,
Introduction, Main Body, Conclusions, Recommendations and Reference List. o Organise your information within each section in a logical fashion with the reader in mind, usually
putting things in order of priority - most important first. Report Title/Table of Contents. This is simply the front cover page identifying the report and a Table of Contents page showing each key section of the report and the page number where it can be found in the report.

Executive Summary. Give a clear and very concise account of the main points, main conclusions and main recommendations. Keep it very short, a few percent of the total length. Some people, especially senior managers, may not read anything else so write as if it were a stand-alone document. Keep it brief and free from jargon so that anyone can understand it and get the main points. Write it last, but do not copy and paste from the report itself; that rarely works well. Introduction. This is the first part of the report proper. Use it to paint the background and objective of the report and to show the reader why the report is important. Then explain how the details that follow are arranged. Write it in plain English. Main Body. This is the heart of your report, the facts. It will probably have several sections or sub-sections each with its own subtitle. It is unique to your report and will describe what you discovered about what is being reported on. These sections are most likely to be read by experts so you can use some appropriate jargon but explain it as you introduce it. Arrange the information logically, normally putting things in order of priority – most important first. In fact, follow that advice in every section of your report. Conclusions. Present the logical conclusions of your investigation and analysis. Bring it all together and maybe offer options for the way forward. Many people will read this section. Write it in plain English. Recommendations. What do you suggest should be done? Don't be shy; you did the work so state your recommendations in order of priority, and in plain English. References. As your report must be academically sound as well as making good business sense, it is essential that your report is supported by accurate in-text referencing and the inclusion of a reference list. Although some reports in the workplace do not require full referencing (and some students may be used to this), it is a requirement in the academic environment and in Assessment 1 (please refer marking guide). This is equitable for all students.

Task Details: Brainstorm with your team and identify a gap/problem/business opportunity and provide an IT solution for the identified problem. You demonstrate the value proposition of the proposed solution/product/service to the actual needs of the customer. You explain in your report: o The Opportunity o Discovery o Problem Statement o Defining a Solution o Value proposition canvas The outcome of your ideation and value proposition will be reflected in a value proposition canvas (along with a written report of 2500 words). The value proposition canvas consists of two parts. One part is the customer profile, in which you describe your customer. The other part is the value map in which you describe how you create value for your customer. If those two parts match with each other then you have a fit in your value proposition. You start with creating your customer profile, after which you will complete your value map. You need to identify: o Customer task: You have to keep in mind the person or the company that would buy your product or
service. Write down the tasks that that person or company has to do or wants to complete in work or in life.
o Customer pains: A customer pain is anything that annoys a customer when getting a job done. It can also be something that slows down or prevents the task being done.
o Customer gains: Anything that makes the customer happy is a potential customer gain. These gains can be required, expected or desired. Required gains must be provided by your service. Expected gains are those that a customer would expect but are not essential. Desired gains are those needs that customer would like to see fulfilled.
o Products and services: When moving over to the value map the first action is to describe the products and/or services of your business.
o Pain relievers: Pain relievers are the solutions that your products and services offer to customer pains. o Gain creators: Gain creators are the functionalities or features of your products and services that
produce outcomes that customers expect or desire. o The fit: Determine if there is a fit between what the customers want and what your business has to

Assessment 4 Group Work Activity Report – 3 marks (of 20 for whole assessment) Each group will provide a group work report on how the group has worked together to produce the PMBOK reports. It should not contain the main deliverables of the PMBOK project reports. Each group will document how members discuss and agree, the division of responsibilities and describes how individual efforts capitalised on the strengths of each group member. It will be used as evidence of individual contributions in the group. It is therefore in each member’s interest to ensure that their contribution to the final report is complete. Each group is expected to have at least three group meetings for the group assignment. The minutes of group meetings should be documented and attached as an appendix of this group work report, clearly indicating who was present, issues and actions, agreed timelines, and the like. The group work report must indicate that a fair and reasonable distribution of work amongst group members was achieved. Periodic information such as emails or diary entries must be inserted into the

Assessment 5 Assessment type: Final Exam (3 hours): Individual assessment – Closed book Purpose: The purpose of the exam is to evaluate the success of your overall learning in this subject. The final exam may cover all material discussed in the subject, the lecture notes, the textbooks, and, especially, the assignments. You will be asked to both discuss and apply the concepts explained in those sources. Your ability to clearly and coherently frame your answers will be part of the evaluation. This assessment contributes specifically to learning outcomes a, c and d. Value: 50% Due Date: The final exam will be held in the official KOI exam period in Week 14
of the trimester. The specific date and time will be posted towards the end of the trimester.
Topic: The examination may cover content from any part of the subject. Task Detail: Students will be expected to answer four essay type questions (worth 10 marks each) and two short-answer questions (worth 5 marks each). The final exam will focus on all aspects of the subject. Sample Exam Questions: Sample exam questions and suggested answers will be made available in the tutorial of Week 11 and posted on Moodle.

3.2 Late Penalties and Extensions An important part of business life and key to achieving KOI’s graduate outcome of Professional Skills is the ability to manage workloads and meet deadlines. Consequently, any assessment items such as in-class quizzes and assignments missed or submitted after the due date/time will attract a penalty (see below). Students who miss mid-trimester tests and final exams without a valid and accepted reason (see below) may not be granted a deferred exam and will be awarded 0 marks for assessment item. These penalties are designed to encourage students to develop good time management practices, and create equity for all students. Any penalties applied will only be up to the maximum marks available for the specific piece of assessment attracting the penalty. Late penalties, granting of extensions and deferred exams are based on the following: In Class Tests (excluding Mid-Trimester Tests) o No extensions permitted or granted – a make-up test may only be permitted under very special
circumstances where acceptable supporting evidence is provided. The procedures and timing to apply for a make-up test (only if available) are as shown in Section 3.3 Applying for an Extension (below).
o Missing a class test will result in 0 marks for that assessment element unless the above applies. Written Assessments o 5% of the total available marks per calendar day unless an extension is approved (see Section 3.3
below) Presentations o No extensions permitted or granted – no presentation = 0 marks. The rules for make-up presentations
are the same as for missing in-class tests (described above). Mid-Trimester Tests and Final Exams o If students are unable to attend mid-trimester tests or final exams due to illness or some other event
(acceptable to KOI), they must: − Advise KOI in writing (email: [email protected]) as soon as possible, but no later than three
(3) working days after the exam date, that they will be / were absent and the reasons. They will be advised in writing (return email) as to whether the circumstances are acceptable.
− Complete the appropriate Application for Extension or Deferred Exam Form available from the Student Information Centre in Moodle, on the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Market St and Kent St), as soon as possible and email with attachments to [email protected].
− Provide acceptable documentary evidence in the form of a satisfactorily detailed medical certificate, police report or some other evidence that will be accepted by KOI.
− Agree to attend the deferred exam as set by KOI. Deferred exam o There will only be one deferred exam offered. o Marks awarded for the deferred exam will be the marks awarded for that assessment. o If you miss the deferred exam you will be awarded 0 marks for the assessment. This may mean you
are unable to complete (pass) the subject.

3.3 Applying for an Extension If students are unable to submit or attend an assessment when due, and extensions are possible, they must apply by completing the appropriate Application for Extension form available from the Student Information Centre in Moodle, the KOI Website (Policies and Forms) and the Reception Desk (Market St and Kent St), as soon as possible but no later than three (3) working days of the assessment due date. The completed form must be emailed with supporting documentation to [email protected]. Students and lecturers / tutors will be advised of the outcome of the extension request as soon as practicable.
Appropriate documentary evidence to support the request for an extension must be supplied. Please remember there is no guarantee of an extension being granted, and poor organisation is not a satisfactory reason to be granted an extension. 3.4 Referencing and Plagiarism Please remember that all sources used in assessment tasks must be suitably referenced. Failure to acknowledge sources is plagiarism, and as such is a very serious academic issue. Students plagiarising run the risk of severe penalties ranging from a reduction through to 0 marks for a first offence for a single assessment task, to exclusion from KOI in the most serious repeat cases. Exclusion has serious visa implications. The easiest way to avoid plagiarising is to reference all sources. Harvard referencing is the required method – in-text referencing using Author’s Surname (family name) and year of publication. A Referencing Guide, “Harvard Referencing”, and a Referencing Tutorial can be found on the right hand menu strip in Moodle on all subject pages. An effective way to reference correctly is to use Microsoft Word’s referencing function (please note that other versions and programs are likely to be different). To use the referencing function, click on the References Tab in the menu ribbon – students should choose Harvard. Authorship is also an issue under plagiarism – KOI expects students to submit their own original work in both assessment and exams, or the original work of their group in the case of a group project. All students agree to a statement of authorship when submitting assessments online via Moodle, stating that the work submitted is their own original work. The following are examples of academic misconduct and can attract severe penalties: o Handing in work created by someone else (without acknowledgement), whether copied from another
student, written by someone else, or from any published or electronic source, is fraud, and falls under the general Plagiarism guidelines.
o Copying / cheating in tests and exams is academic misconduct. Such incidents will be treated just as seriously as other forms of plagiarism.
o Students who willingly allow another student to copy their work in any assessment may be considered to assisting in copying/cheating, and similar penalties may be applied.
Where a subject coordinator considers that a student might have engaged in academic misconduct, KOI may require the student to undertake an additional oral exam as a part of the assessment for the subject, as a way of testing the student’s understanding of their work. Further information can be found on the KOI website. 3.5 Reasonable Adjustment The Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1992) makes it unlawful to treat people with a disability less fairly than people without a disability. In the context of this subject, the principle of Reasonable Adjustment is applied to ensure that participants with a disability have equitable access to all aspects of the learning situation. For assessment, this means that artificial barriers to their demonstrating competence are removed. Examples of reasonable adjustment in assessment may include: ICT 275 INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT T219 21/06/2019 13:33 PAGE 16 OF 17 *AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT PTY LTD © ABN: 72 132 629 979 CRICOS 03171A

o provision of an oral assessment, rather than a written assessment o provision of extra time o use of adaptive technology. The focus of the adjusted assessment should be on enabling the participants to demonstrate that they have achieved the subject purpose, rather than on the method used. 3.6 Appeals Process Full details of the KOI Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy may be obtained in hard copy from the Library, and on the KOI website www.koi.edu.au under Policies and Forms. Assessments and Mid-Trimester Exams: Where students are not satisfied with the results of an assessment, including mid-trimester exams, they have the right to appeal. The process is as follows: o Discuss the assessment with their tutor or lecturer – students should identify where they feel more
marks should have been awarded – students should provide valid reasons based on the marking guide provided for the assessment. Reasons such as “I worked really hard” are not considered valid.
o If still not satisfied, students should complete an Application for Review of Assessment Marks form, detailing the reason for review. This form can be found on the KOI website and is also available at KOI Reception (Market St and Kent St).
o Application for Review of Assessment Marks forms must be submitted as explained on the form within ten (10) working days of the return of the marked assessment, or within five (5) working days after the return of the assessment if the assessment is returned after the end of the trimester.
Review of Grade – whole of subject and final exams: Where students are not satisfied with the results of the whole subject or with their final exam results, they have the right to request a Review of Grade – see the Assessment and Assessment Appeals Policy for more information. An Application for Review of Grade/Assessment Form (available from the KOI Website under Policies and Forms and from KOI Reception, Market St and Kent St) should be completed clearly explaining the grounds for the application. The completed application should be submitted as explained on the form, with supporting evidence attached, to the Academic Manager.
