Assignment Task
Details
An academic poster presentation (also known as an infographic) is a textual and graphic means of presenting information concisely and persuasively. In the workplace, you may be asked to present a poster to your peers. This way of presenting information can also allow for valuable networking opportunities with other stakeholders involved in a project. Poster presentations can allow you to showcase your work at business conferences and meetings.
Your task is to create a one-page poster that examines stakeholder tensions and priorities in a public-private partnership (PPP). You will need to examine and identify the role of various stakeholders in your chosen PPP and explore the relationship between key internal and external stakeholders. You should investigate actual or potential stakeholder tensions that can arise from PPPs, and explore the specific skill sets required for managers in this setting.
Step 1 – Choose a project
For this assignment, you will need to choose a PPP project and assume the role of the manager in the public sector. As such, you will then need to analyse this project. Visit the following sites and choose one project:
Frankston Hospital RedevelopmentLinks to an external site.(Victoria State Government, 2022)
Metro Tunnel ProjectLinks to an external site.(Victoria State Government, 2022)
Step 2 – Conduct research
You will need to conduct some research to answer key questions about the project that you have chosen. Your evaluation of the project should be supported by evidence from at least eight additional, reliable, academic resources.
Your poster should address the following:
Provide a succinct overview of the organisation and the type of industry
Who are your key stakeholders? Create a stakeholder map in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. You can visit Figure 3-5 Stakeholder management: Five key questionsLinks to an external site.(p. 52) to help determine who your key stakeholders are and also Figure 3-3 Stakeholder view of the firmLinks to an external site. (p. 48) in your eText for an example of a stakeholder map
What are the different stakeholders’ priorities?
What are the tensions that may exist between stakeholders?
How would you deal with any potential conflict or misalignment of priorities?
Indicate whether this project is in the ‘public interest’
Outline whether you believe the project represents ‘value for money’ for taxpayers
Your poster should also include a reference list using APA 7 style to support any of your claims. A list of high-quality business journals can be located on the ABDC journal quality list (Australian Business Deans Council, 2019). You may choose to have your reference list as part of your poster or present this on a separate page. You can upload your poster and your reference list separately in the main submission point if preferred. Please do not email your reference list to your eLA.
