Extensions ( Deakin's Bachelor of Commerce and MBA are internationally EPAS accredited . Deakin Business School is accredited by AACSB and EQUIS . )No extensions will be considered unless a written request is submitted to and approved by the Unit Chair before the due date and time. Extensions will only be considered if a draft assignment is attached with your request for an extension, which shows progress has been made, and documentary evidence for the extension. Applications after this date will not be accepted, and submissions after the due date/time without an approved extension will be considered late. Extensions are only granted in extreme circumstances, such as ongoing health, personal hardship or work‐related problems. Temporary illnesses, normal work pressures, multiple assignments due at the same time, failure to keep backups, technology failure, etc are not reasons for an extension. Description / Requirements This is an individual assignment where you will synthesise research sources on the following digital transformation topic, and then produce a Research Report using the Ethical Decision‐Making Framework introduced in topic 2 and an associated Video Recording: Synthesis the extent research evidence shows that consumers/citizens do or do not know the level of their privacy loss/risks when using social media, and what this implies could be future privacy issues for consumers/citizens if current privacy levels continue. Research the topic The report is not about your personal moral views about the digital transformation topic. Instead, research the topic by finding and synthesising credible academic resources sources (e.g. journal articles, PhD theses, conference papers, credible research studies) and industry sources (e.g. industry research reports from companies like Gartner Group, reports from relevant professional bodies, etc). Quality and credible resource sources are those reporting empirical research (e.g. experiments, surveys, case studies) about the topic (not opinions of the authors), or reporting on the evidence about the topic from the perspective of a variety of stakeholder types. The research you undertake should enable you to determine the answers to all the questions (directly or indirectly) in the Ethical Decision‐Making Framework about how various stakeholders in the topic 2 framework may be affected by the digital transformation topic. The report should not consider short‐term issues (e.g. immediate profits), but rather the medium to long‐term (e.g. 10‐50 year) implications of the digital transformation on all stakeholders. Research sources can therefore include evidence of past digital transformation issues, and used to justify how stakeholders might be affected in future if the topic is not addressed by digital transformation professionals. Research sources should be quality, which means “older” research is acceptable when combined with recent research sources, but not low quality research sources. Evidence of GLO8 Global Citizenship will include the quality of the research, and how well the framework is used, to justify the topic. You must ensure that your research and analysis of the topic has balanced/even coverage of the perspective of all stakeholder types in the topic 2 framework. A focus on organisation stakeholders (e.g. shareholders, staff, immediate clients) is not balanced. Similarly, balanced research and analysis will include equal coverage of the risks and benefits (not just benefits) relating to the topic for each stakeholder type from the topic 2 framework. As required by the ACS Code of Professional Conduct, the most important stakeholder group is “the public”, not organisation stakeholders, and consideration of all the risks for the public. For this reason, a report with an unbalanced focus on organisational stakeholders and benefits will not receive a good result in this assignment, because it does not demonstrate good understanding of GLO8 Global Citizenship. A balanced analysis and ( Page 2 of 7 Deakin's Bachelor of Commerce and MBA are internationally EPAS accredited . Deakin Business School is accredited by AACSB and EQUIS . ) report on multiple stakeholder types, and benefits versus risks, will also result in a more convincing justification (GLO2 Communication) of how the ethics of digital transformation can be improved. GLO3 Digital Literacy will be assessed on how well you have used digital literacy skills to research and analysis the topic. Evidence of digital literacy with regards to research will be shown by submitting full‐text copies of your research sources in PDF format, so ensure all sources are downloaded. This means there must be a PDF file for each reference in the reference list of the ( report. You are not permitted to use books, electronic books (due to copyright restrictions), videos, audio, etc for your resource sources. Only articles or reports which can be submitted as a PDF file. ) The Deakin Library has full‐text versions of journal articles and conference papers, and these are almost always available in PDF format. Download the PDF version and read the article/paper in that form. For industry reports, these are typically provided in PDF format as well. If an industry report is only available as a webpage, then use the “print‐to‐PDF” option in your web browser. See the Submission instructions section for details on how to name each research source’s PDF file. If you use a software product like Endnote to store the details about each research source, and to create your citations and reference list (see below), then submit this with your report as evidence of the GLO Digital Literacy capabilities. Using such software is optional, but highly recommended. Create a research synthesis matrix for the topic You will analyse and synthesise the research sources into a research synthesis matrix (e.g. a Word or Excel document), which can have a column for each stakeholder type. You will know when you have identified a good research source, if it considers multiple stakeholder types (or has multiple columns in the matrix). Resource sources which consider organisation stakeholders only, and also benefits relating to the topic only, should be avoided/minimised for your research synthesis. The following shows an example extract of a research synthesis matrix with a single column (or theme) for the research topic: What impact does the differences in definitions in research articles about small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have for understanding the best way to help SMEs adopt digital transformation tools successfully? This topic is not relevant to this assignment.

2013) did not state any maximum r evenue to be an sme, or differentiate sme sizes on the basis of revenue. only two studies, by contrast, stated that organisations must have less than 50 million euros in revenue (alonso‐ mendo et al. 2009, p268) or canadian dollars in sales (bergeron et al. 2004, p1007) to be considered an sme, but neither article differentiates smes on the basis of revenue or sales. the fact that most studies did not state the maximum revenue to be an sme, or differentiate smes based on revenue, may be due to limitations of the definition of smes used or cited in the studies. it was therefore not possible to identify the extent to which revenue affects if/how smes adopt is, or what revenue‐related support that different types of smes may need. )you will use the
