Academic Integrity
Academic integrity means being honest in academic work and taking responsibility for learning the conventions of scholarship. La Trobe
University views this seriously as evidenced by the following extract:
Academic honesty is a fundamental principle in teaching, learning, research and scholarship. The University requires its
academic staff and students to observe the highest ethical standards in all aspects of academic work and it
demonstrates its commitment to these values by awarding due credit for honestly conducted scholarly work, and by
penalising academic misconduct and all forms of cheating.
Academic Integrity Procedures (2012, p. 1 of 6)
Academic misconduct includes improper referencing, plagiarism, copying and cheating. You should familiarise yourself with your
responsibilities in relation to Academic Integrity and if you have any questions, direct them to your Course Coordinator. Information can be
found on the website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/students/learning/academic-integrity.

Special Consideration
Special Consideration is the term used to describe a process that applies an equity measure to ensure that where any temporary adverse
circumstances beyond the control of a student, that impact negatively on that student’s ability to demonstrate their learning achievement for
an assessment task, is taken into account.
Eligibility to apply for Special Consideration does not automatically imply eligibility to receive it. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order to
receive Special Consideration.
Please refer to the relevant policies, procedures and guidelines website at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/policy/
Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online at:
http://www.latrobe.edu.au/special-consideration
Extensions, Late Submissions and Penalties
There are policies and procedures to guarantee fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks provide
equity around extensions to submission dates and penalties associated with not submitting assessment by the due date and time.
The University requires fair, consistent and transparent treatment of late submission of assessment tasks. The procedure for late submission is
documented in the Late Submission of Assessment Tasks document (Ref. no. 112027D). It states:
The standard penalty for late submission of assessment tasks is 5% of the marks for that task for each delay in
submission of a day or partial day up to a maximum of five (5) working days after the due date. Assessment tasks will not
be accepted after the earlier of the following occurrences:
The fifth (5th) working day after the due date; or
Feedback on the assessment task has been returned to any student by the Teaching Team member.
These penalties apply only to individual assessment tasks worth 15% or more of the total assessment for the subject. Late
submission of take home examinations is not permitted.
Submission of special consideration applications for assignments, mid-semester tests and final examinations should be made online
at: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/?a=668155.

Description of Task
Please answer all the following questions based on Weeks 2, 3, 4 and 5 and submit your answers through Turnitin by Sunday April 2, 2017 at
11.59pm. Answers to each question should be around 250-300 words. Please use your textbook and journal articles to support your answers
(2 to 3 references per question including the textbook)
1. On page 41 there is a quote from Bendix that defines "managerial ideology." Dissect the meaning of this quote and state the
meaning of managerial ideology in your own words (as if you were explaining it to someone else). Which of Morgan's metaphors is
most closely associated with this concept? (Please have a look at chapter 3: The rise of the factory system to support your answer)
2. Rational-bureaucratic organizations are supposed to develop the best means to achieve their goals. Based on your reading of
Chapter 5 (pg. 56), what would you say are some of the obstacles to making the "best" decisions about ways to reach a goal or solve
a problem? Do some organizations have a more difficult time with this than others? What kinds of goals or problems do they deal
with? (Please have a look at chapter 5: Bureaucracy , Rationalization and Organisation theory to support your answer)
3. Do you think the term used by Barnard -- "common moral purpose" (pg. 103) -- is a good way to describe what happens in work
organizations? Why or why not? (Please have a look at chapter 4: The Human Organisation to support your answer)
4. The transformation of organizational forms has given rise to a variety of paradoxical demands. For example, organizations want to
achieve both economies of scale and economies of scope; they want to specialize yet be flexible. What do each of these separate
demands mean for organizing and managing? Why they all are desired? How can they peacefully co-exist? (Please have a look at
Chapter 6 from page 121 onwards: Emerging Organisational Forms: Beyond Fordism to support your answer)
