Exam Requirements and Expectations
An Acknowledgment of Country is an opportunity to
show respect for Australia’s traditional custodians, and
the continuing connection that Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples have to the land, sea, sky, and
waterways.
Although we are not all together on campus, it is still
important to acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera
people as traditional owners and custodians of the
lands on which the UQ St Lucia Campus is situated.
As this course is designed and delivered from the St
Lucia campus, I pay respects to their Ancestors and
their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual
connections to Country. UQ recognises their valuable
contributions to Australian and global society, and
acknowledge that this land has always been a space
for teaching, learning, research and collaboration tens
of thousands of years before it was established as a
UQ campus, and continues today.

Course Review and examples of Exam Questions of Part A
Let’s review the MGTS1301 content using Kahoot

Example of a response from a previous Student:
A utilitarianism approach considers the result that create the biggest benefit for the greatest amount of people, and reduce the harm made to others.
There are two types of utilitarianism, act and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarianism, determines the action to be taken by maximum benefit, while rule
utilitarianism is guided by principles to evaluate situations and observed to in the future.
Egoism and altruism both regard the benefits of the outcome when making a decision. However, different approaches are used, with egoism
maximising the benefit for oneself and altruism the greatest benefit for others.
As these approaches determine their actions by the outcome of a decision, how the outcome is achieved is not taken into consideration. Therefore,
the actions or intent someone has is not considered even if they are unethical. Further, these approaches require measuring the benefits and harm to
those affected by the outcome. To do this, it needs to be determined whose interests are measured, and how they are evaluated quantifiably.
The advantages to using this approach to ethics in a business context as it analytically looks at the effects of the decisions. It requires the business to
not only consider the economic impact but additionally the intangible effects on society. If outcomes are found not to create a benefit, businesses do
not carry out the action being considered.
When determining the outcomes, the external environment is expected to be considered. Analysing the impacts on more stakeholders externally will
require the business to consider further than the internal environment. This is a benefit if the plan will benefit the company but be detrimental to
society.

Ethics by Outcome is perhaps the most attractive to the business community because it uses an analytical approach that parallels the
cost benefit analysis used in most business decision-making. Please discuss what is this type of approach to ethics, its implications and
advantages and disadvantages in the business context and the external context.
“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. It is the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”
Please discuss the relationship of Innovation and entrepreneurship process providing examples to illustrate your arguments.

Exam – Part B: Some examples of Questions
Example of a response from a previous Student:
Entrepreneurship related to creating new opportunities or organisations based on dynamic, risk-taking, and creative behaviours.
Entrepreneurs are change agents in society.
Innovation is the implementation of creative ideas. Innovation can surround a product or a process. When innovating, the new idea can be
radical and new to the world with substantial solutions to consumer problems or incremental and modify an existing idea. A radical
innovation was the iPhone at the time it was invented, being the first of its type. Whilst the updated releases and versions of the iPhone is
an incremental innovation improving on the existing product.
The relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation is the implementation of the innovation. The idea needs to be implemented into
the market and commercialised for innovation to occur. Entrepreneurship is the business aspect of using the innovation to as an
opportunity in the market to implement the idea. The entrepreneur may be willing to put the innovation idea to market and the
appropriate behaviours to ensure the opportunity is taken up. They are the change agents, who know how to find a solution to create
benefits. The change agent and innovator may be the same person who knows how to overcome the challenges and create solutions.
An example of an innovator is Lego due the consist creation of new products being brought to the market. The creation of Lego blocks from
plant-based plastic, and a production line to minimise waste, are recent innovations of the company. By innovating the production process
to reduce waste, resources are better utilised. Financial wealth and improved resources are created by using plant-based plastic.

Some examples from last semester:
“ I like the lecturer best. Sandra is pretty good. In her seminar, I can
be more focused to participate in. The Kahoot part can arouse
students’ enthusiasm and curiosity. During tutorials, we can have
more time to discuss with the group members. Then we can complete
each case study with a goal. That’s quite good!”
“Playing kahoot is engaging, however more real-life examples should
be included in the online module or seminars. Final exam percentage
should be lower. Practice exams should be given to students for
reference.”
