Assessment 1 gives you an opportunity to demonstrate the application of knowledge in organisation theory on a specific organisational setting. To allow for uniformity in assessment, this assignment will be based on a common case – the organisations involved in the detention of asylum seekers as portrayed in the following article:
Briskman, L., Zion, D., & Loff, B. (2012). Care or collusion in asylum seeker detention, Ethics and Social Welfare, 6(1), 37-55.
