Assessment 2 requires students to complete 4 activities in their discussion forums, and marks are allocated for the same. Unfortunately, the brief does not contain the instructions, but the instructions are on discussion forums.Therefore, in order to make it easier for students to understand the requirements (that are in discussion forums), I made the following announcement in the class and in Blackboard, and hope you find it helpful.

Please note that the following discussion forum activities are a must to pass the Assessment 2

Discussion forum Topic 1

Write 300-400 words about a business, which you have previously worked for, or would like to in the future.

Please use the same business as your example in the following Discussion Forum topics.

Describe the size of the business (employees, outlets, turnover etc.), the geographical location, the core product (what it is that they are selling) also identifying the industry in which it operates.

Discussion forum Topic 2

In 300-400 words, using your example organisation from Discussion Topic 1, identify the 5 most important external stakeholders in the organisation. Assess their interests and influence in the business.
