- Topic: “Analyse the impact of the business environment and use of bicultural partnership on business activities and performance in New Zealand”.
Guidelines for writing the essay:
You should choose a New Zealand based business entity (my teacher told me to do about SPARK NZ). You need to do research on how the internal factors (e.g. organizational directions, culture, communication among the departments and teams, use of technologies, staff etc. -choose only one of them) and external factors (competitors, customers, economic resources, laws, and regulations -choose only one of them) have an impact on the business activities ( e.g. human resources, sales and marketing, procurement, finance, research and development, operations and support functions) of your chosen business entity.
i.e. Evidence of analysis of one internal and one external factor on at least one business activity is required (20 marks).
You should analyse the use of bicultural partnership (e.g. Treaty of Waitangi, counterparts of bicultural partnership, principles of bicultural partnership: partnership, participation and protection, Maori customs and norms, understanding of Whanau, Hapu, and Iwi) in your chosen business entity. You should also include in your essay the application of Treaty of Waitangi’s principles on business planning, process, system and activities and the importance of well-informed consent in your chosen business entity.
i.e. Evidence of at least one example of the use of the Treaty of Waitangi principles on business activities is required (15 marks).
