Solved: RULES FOR THE INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

TAKE-HOME EXAM Fall / Winter 2020 1. Your entire exam, including text and exhibits, must be prepared individually, in your own words, without input or assistance from anyone else. This rule will be monitored and enforced. Serious and lasting penalties will be issued to any student that violates this rule. 2. Maximum report length: 10 pages in total, broken down the following way – 5 pages of text followed by (and separate from) 5 pages of exhibits. All pages of text should be 8.5”x 11”, formatted with one-inch margins on all sides, double-spaced, Times New Roman, 12-pt font, in MS Word. The exam should be written in concise and complete sentences and include headings. a. Page Penalty: Ten (10) marks (out of 100) will be deducted from the final exam grade for any pages exceeding the stated page limit. If the exam is not formatted according to the guidelines, instructors may choose to reformat the report and/or apply the appropriate deduction(s). 3. All exams must be typewritten. The document must be submitted in .docx (MS Word) format as one single document. Use the cut and paste function to merge content from other applications if needed. Do not copy screenshots or use images. When saving your document and submitting on OWL, ensure your submission follows the required naming convention: your last name and your first name, separated with an underscore, i.e. Burset_Sophia 4. A title page IS NOT required. The student name and student number must be clearly indicated within the exam, (i.e. as a header) 5. Exams must be submitted electronically on OWL via the Assignment Submissions (Turnitin) tab by 11:59pm ET, Saturday, February 6, 2021. The deadline applies to all students. a. Late Penalty: Ten (10) marks (out of 100) will be deducted from the final grade for any submissions received after 11:59pm ET. Another ten marks will be deducted for each additional 24-hour period after the deadline. Absolutely no extensions. 6. Plagiarism is the submission of work that is in whole or in part someone else’s work, which you claim as your own. Students must write their exam in their own words and create their own exhibits. The exam must be authored from an original document using a Microsoft Word account registered to the student. Microsoft Word is available free to all students by visiting myoffice.uwo.ca. Plagiarism is a major academic offence (see Western Scholastic Offence Policy). Collusion is the collaboration with another or other individuals in the preparation of written work offered for credit. Collusion is regarded like plagiarism and is a major academic offence. The Business Foundations department takes this policy and its consequences very seriously. Students may not seek, accept and/or pay for any consultation or advice in the preparation of this exam. 7. This case contains the information required for you to complete the assignment and therefore external research is not required. DO NOT CONTACT any persons related to the case or involved with the organization for any reason. This will be considered an academic offence.
