Report/Essay
Each student will submit an assignment paper (in essay format) that describes in detail the roles and responsibilities of a position in the festivals and events industry (in Australia or internationally). Ideally, this would a role that students eventually would like to occupy (for example the CEO of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix, the stadium venue manager for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, or the Chief Executive of the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race). The essay is to be based on reading a minimum of five articles from scholarly and industry-related journals (not from newspapers) and reference the concepts learnt in class. Reference to a person currently occupying the position (including a short bio) may also be made. Online resources, other than online journal articles, may be used, but these must be additional to the articles from scholarly or industry-related journals.
The purpose of this assessment is to:
- Examine the scope and significance of a position within the festivals and events industry;
- Develop and demonstrate an understanding of the scope and significance of the responsibilities of a professional in the selected position; and
- Develop skills in research, critical thinking and analysis.
