business press about a management-related issue.

You are a member of the management group of your chosen organisation. At a recent executive meeting, your CEO mentioned that the business should enhance its preparedness given recent events within and outside the business. Specifically, the reference was in relation to some reports and articles in the business press about a management-related issue. The issue may have implications for the industry as a whole, but more importantly for the business in the near future. Your CEO is interested in hearing more about the issue and has tasked you with finding out more information.

 Your starting point

You will be provided with two pdfs that will help you start on this task

: 1) An organisational profile: (Organisation profile_Cooee Nursery_pdf)

2) An article : (State-of-Volunteering-in-Australia-full-report_pdf)

3) A Power point slides (Managerial Decision Making -approachs and process)

• The organisation profile (one page) depicts an organisation that has been identified specifically for you and is based on several successful Australian firms that operate across a wide range of sectors/industries. We have previously interviewed a few of these firms. Some firm-related information is provided in the profile and you can make more assumptions about the nature of the business, if need be. The profile will outline a “real world” business issue within the short description that’s provided.
• The article: (Volunteering in Australia) given to you will help you with the context (see section above). The article will be focussed on the specific business issue outlined in the profile. The article is just an example and should be used as a stimulus for further investigation of the matter.
• The power point slides must be read, to show you which approach you can use, also it has three slides of references can be used in your report 
  • You should research the business issue using the article and locate additional relevant pieces of evidence on the same topic. Ideally these should be sourced from quality publications i.e., peer reviewed journals (recent within the last 7 years).
  • Summarise the key points about the business issue across all pieces of evidence and think about what they may mean for your organisation.
