Responsible Business Professionalism
Term 1, 2025
Welcome to the course
Dear student
Welcome to MGMT5050 – Responsible Business Professionalism.
This course may be unlike other courses you’ve taken at university.
There are no tests or exams.
There is no off-by-heart learning.
There is no simple calculation to guarantee success.
Instead, this course aims to transform. you as an individual, a student, and a developing professional through a deep focus on sustainability, ethics, leadership, and responsible professionalism.
There are three main main components to the course:
1. Pre-class activities
In preparation for each week’s learning, you’ll work through current, stimulating multimedia content accessible on Moodle. This will open your mind to new ways of thinking about the course’s topics.
2. Synthesis & Integration (S&I) session (replaces traditional lectures)
In these weekly interactive sessions, your lecturers will share vital content to support your learning. We encourage you to attend, ask questions, and connect with your peers.
3. Learning in Practice (LiP) session (replaces traditional tutorials)
In the LiPs, your tutor will guide you on a journey of self-growth, supporting your development of critical competencies to support you in the workplace and beyond.
We are passionate about this course and can’t wait to take this learning journey with you.
Submission guidelines
The Assessment guide includes several icons. Here’s what each one means:
Keep the following in mind when submitting your assessments:
Turnitin
Turnitin checks your work for originality and proper citation. It compares your submission with other students’ work, online content, and selected resources. If you need to submit via Turnitin, you’ll find the link on your Moodle course page. More details are available on the Turnitin student information site.
Submitting your assignments
• Ensure you submit the correct assessment using the right link on Moodle. After the deadline, no changes can be made.
• Upload your work as a Word document (not PDF).
• All times are in Australian Eastern Standard/Daylight Time (AEST).
Viva Voce
You might be asked to do a viva voce for any submitted assignment. This is an interview where you discuss your assignment to show your understanding and preparation.
Late Submissions
Late submissions lose 5% of the total mark per day. After five days past the due date, the submission will receive a zero grade.
Papers are considered late if:
• Assignments have been submitted in the wrong format.
• An incorrect assignment has been submitted. This refers specifically to a paper from another course.
If you submit a draft/incorrect version of the assignment, what is submitted by the deadline is what will be graded.
Extensions
Plan ahead to meet deadlines. Extensions are only given if Special Consideration is awarded. There will be no extensions for the 10 Minute Debriefs, Reflective Wikis or class participation.
Special Consideration
The Special Consideration process helps if unexpected events affect your ability to perform in an assessment. It applies when such events prevent completion or submission of work or significantly affect performance. Click this link to see a list of example circumstances.
You can apply for Special Consideration via the central UNSW Special Consideration portal onmyUNSW(see My Student Profile > Special Consideration).

Description of assessment task
You are a recent graduate working at TechNova, a global technology company renowned for its cutting-edge consumer electronics, including laptops, smartphones, and wearable devices. TechNova has long been recognised for its commitment to innovation and sustainability, having taken steps to reduce its environmental footprint by optimising energy efficiency in manufacturing, adopting recyclable packaging, and investing in renewable energy for its production facilities.
However, you have noticed a growing issue that threatens to undermine TechNova’s sustainability efforts: electronic waste (e-waste). As the company continues to release new product lines at a rapid pace, older devices are quickly becoming obsolete. Many customers discard these products, contributing to the global e-waste crisis, which poses serious environmental and health risks. While competitors are finding innovative ways to tackle this, TechNova has yet to take substantial action to address this issue.
You are concerned that this lack of action not only harms the environment but also risks damaging TechNova's reputation as a responsible company.
You decide to write a memo to the CEO, outlining your concerns and proposing actionable solutions to address TechNova's e-waste problem while still maintaining its focus on innovation and growth. Given multiple pressures on your time, you decide to use GenAI to help you get started:
Your memo should:
• Outline your concerns, highlighting their importance, considering TechNova’s commitment to sustainability.
• Discuss the significance of environmental sustainability in the technology industry and TechNova’s potential role in addressing the growing e-waste problem.
• Make recommendations on how TechNova can remain a leader in sustainability while continuing to innovate and grow.
• Incorporate the UN SDGs, reflecting TechNova’s commitment to responsible consumption and production.
To support your thinking, look at thefollowing extractfrom the United Nations Institute for Training and Research’s (UNITAR) 2024 report: The Global E-waste Monitor 2024.
You must reference this extract in your memo.

Assessment 1: Supporting information
What is a memo?
A memo is an internal professional document that you would give to your manager to advance an idea. It must be clear, factually correct, and supported by credible evidence.
Click here for guidance on how to write a report.
How to use GenAI in this task?
1. Create the base memo:
Create a base memo using GenAI (e.g., ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, Claude).
2. Add your own input:
Apply your own critical thinking to the AI-generated text and make necessary enhancements. Use track changes in the text to show any changes that you’ve made to the text. Use comments to explain your additions/deletions/refinements.
o Carefully fact-check the AI-generated content. Any incorrect or discriminatory content will be considered unsatisfactory.
o Memos that rely solely on AI-generated content without significant personal input will be deemed unsatisfactory. You are expected to change, rewrite or adjust at least 50% of the memo’s content.
3. Ensure Academic Integrity
Disclose your prompt:
o Include the prompt you used to generate the base memo at the beginning of your memo. Referencing
o Use the Harvard referencing system to acknowledge sources used.
o Ensure all citations are accurate and credible.
o Using false citations will trigger an integrity investigation, which may result in your submission being escalated to the Conduct and Integrity Office (CIO).
AI-Generated Content:
o Cite your use of GenAI. Click here to access theUNSW guide for referencing AI Use
o Any work detected as GenAI, if used incorrectly, inappropriately, or without proper citation, will be investigated. This may lead to your submission being escalated to the CIO.

Written report, components task
1700 words +/- 10% plus reference list (i.e., the reference list is not included in this word count limit) Via Turnitin
Description of assessment task
As a Master’s graduate, you will be expected to produce professional reports in the workplace. This assessment allows you to apply key tools and concepts while demonstrating the skills you’ve developed in the first half of the course. Rather than submitting a full report, you will complete a series of report components, helping you understand and practice the report-writing process.
Meta (formerly Facebook Inc.) is one of the largest technology companies in the world. It owns Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other platforms. Its2024 Sustainability Reportacknowledges that “our size and global reach give us the opportunity — and the responsibility — to drive sustainable change across our industry” .
However, it faces serious sustainability and ethical problems that affect its reputation and the world. You must choose ONE of the following critical issues to focus on in your report:
1. Energy use and environmental footprint
o Meta’s data centres and infrastructure consume massive amounts of energy to power its platforms. While the company has committed to renewable energy, concerns persist about the carbon footprint of its expanding operations, especially as demand for VR, AI, and data storage grows
2. Misinformation and social polarisation
o Meta’s platforms, particularly Facebook and Instagram, have been criticised for spreading
misinformation, fostering “echo chambers,” and amplifying political and social polarisation.
3. Privacy, Data Use, and Trust
o Meta’s handling of user data, including privacy breaches and the ethical implications of targeted advertising, continues to spark debate about transparency, trust, and protecting personal information across its platform.
Using your chosen critical issue, produce the following five report components.
Part A: 5W framework (150-200 words)
Use the 5W framework (Who, What, Where, When, Why) to summarise your chosen issue. Address each of these directly and structure this as a short, well-organised narrative (not dot points).
• Write in the 3rd person (e.g., “Meta. faces this issue…” rather than “I think…”).
• Support your points with in-text citations.
Part B: PESTEL analysis & summary (250-300 words + PESTEL grid)
• Create a PESTEL grid: Conduct a PESTEL analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal factors) in a 6-box grid format. Use dot points to keep ideas concise. (The PESTEL grid is not counted in the wordcount).
• Summarise your findings: based on the grid, write a short narrative summary explaining how these factors impact Meta. and the chosen issue. Write in the 3rd person.
• Clearly connect PESTEL insights to the critical issue and include citations.
Part C: Ethical analysis (±750 words)
Use your PESTEL analysis to identify 2 or 3 key concerns related to your chosen issue. These concerns should notably impact stakeholders, society, or the environment and require ethical consideration.
Explore each concern in detail by answering:
o What is the concern? Describe the problem and use evidence (e.g. examples/data) to show its impact.
o Why does it matter? Explain why Meta should care.
o How does it relate to ethical and sustainability principles?
Link the concern to relevant SDGs.
Apply an ethical framework (e.g., utilitarianism, deontology) to explain its ethical importance.
Use other course concepts/theories like stakeholder theory, ESG, or CSR to strengthen your argument.
Explain the consequences: Show how ignoring the issue could harm Meta’s success or sustainability goals. Write clearly and professionally in 3rd person and include in-text citations.
Part D: Recommendations (±250 words)
Based on your ethical analysis, propose 2 or 3 actionable recommendations for Meta. For each recommendation:
• Identify potential risks of implementing this recommendation
• Suggest risk management strategies to minimise these risks.
• Write in the 3rd person and provide supporting citations.
Part E: Reflection (±250 words, 1st person writing)
Reflect on your learning experience while completing this task. Some questions you could consider are:
• How did this task shape or challenge your understanding of sustainability, ethics, and Meta's role in these areas?
• What assumptions did you initially have about your chosen issue, and did they change as you conducted your research?
• If you were to redo this assessment, what would you approach differently, and why?
• Which specific skills did you strengthen through this process?
Write this section in the 1st person (e.g. “I learnt…”). Do not use GenAI (like ChatGPT/CoPilot) for this section. It must reflect your personal learning journey.
Finally, include an end-text Reference List (using Harvard referencing style)
• If you have used GenAI, remember toacknowledge it on your Reference List.
If you use GenAI to generate initial ideas or outlines, include your prompt(s) at the end of your report.
Assessment 2: Supporting information

Requirement for original work:
The ideas or content generated by AI must be thoroughly developed or reworked by you.
• Your final submission should reflect your own work, not what was originally produced by the AI tool.
• In this assessment, we are not looking for perfect English use. Instead, we will assess your ability to insightfully and originally apply the course material to the critical issue you have chosen. We want to read your ideas in your voice. Do not use Grammarly/GrammarlyGO to replace your original text.
Language requirement:
Do not write your paper in another language and then translate it into English. This will be considered computer- generated work and may be escalated to the Conduct and Integrity Office (CIO).
Record Keeping:
Keep copies of all iterations of your work to provide to your Course Authority if there are any questions regarding the originality of your submission.
Addressing Concerns:
If your Convenor believes that your submission includes AI-generated text or media that has not been adequately modified, you may be asked to explain your work.
