Assessment instructions
Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment
task and the terms and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please
consult with your trainer/assessor if you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you
understand and adhere to the terms and conditions, and address fully each assessment task.
If any assessment task is not fully addressed, then your assessment task will be returned to
you for resubmission. Your trainer/assessor will remain available to support you throughout
the assessment process.

Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and
knowledge of the overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment
tasks, please ensure that you address the following criteria:

exclusion from a course. When you have any doubts about including the work of other
authors in your assessment, please consult your trainer/assessor.The following list outlines
some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:
 Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally

 Handing in assessments markedly similar to or copied from another learner

 Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work

 Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used,


including assessments taken totally or in part from the internet.

If it is identified that you have plagiarised within your assessment, then a meeting will be
organised to discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.
Collusion
Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact,
the result in whole or in part of unauthorised collaboration with another person or
persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of two or more learners in plagiarism or
other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are subject to disciplinary
action. Collusion or copying from other learners is not permitted and will result in a “0”

Case Study
Estimated 1 Hour
Time
Objective To provide you with an opportunity to conduct a case study on Suppliers.

Explain the case of Jean-Yves Heude, former head Kellogg Australia


with Woolworths.

Ques 1. You are required to explain the case.

Answer:

Case of Woolworth vs ACCC

Facing a half-year profit shortfall of $53 million in late 2014,


Woolworths executives drew up a scheme to hit suppliers for extra
payments, called Mind the Gap. Mind The Gap" scheme of Woolworth
sought retrospective payments from certain suppliers to make up the
shortfall in Woolworths' expected and actual profit for the December
2014 half year.
As a result of the scheme, Woolworths obtained $18.1 million in
payments from a group of 821 suppliers. The Australian Competition
and Consumer Commission alleged amounted to unconscionable
conduct under section 21(1) of the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).
Under the ACL, a party must not engage in conduct so harmful so as to
be considered unconscionable.

ACCC’s action against Woolworths:


 the ACCC alleged that Woolworths acted unconscionably in the
design and implementation of the Scheme, rather than in respect
to its dealings with particular suppliers.
 Woolworths denied any wrongdoing and defended the matter
through to trial.
 the ACCC did not call any supplier affected by the Scheme and
ran the case on the basis of documentary evidence.

Ques 2. After performing this case study, describe ACCC outcomes.


Woolworths successfully defended the ACCC’s allegation. It was able
to defend largely because it was able to show that such schemes are
part of the ordinary course of business in the supermarket market
and in dealings between suppliers and retailers. In addition to
convincing the Court that its conduct was ‘business as usual’,
Woolworths was able to show that its approach to, and methodology
for, the Scheme was reasonable and considered. Woolworths’
successful defense was based on arguments that:
Mind the Gap scheme was no different to ordinary business
negotiations, The Court concluded that the conduct was within the
ordinary course of business in the supermarket industry and was not
unconscionable as it met the "norms of society". In determining this,
the Court accepted Woolworths' submission that from the
perspective of any individual suppliers, the Mind the Gap scheme
was no different to any ordinary negotiation that the supplier might
have had with Woolworths.
