The aim of this unit is to examine the processes, functions and strategies required by
organisations to acquire goods, services and equipment from other organisations. The unit
covers three broad dimensions of the procurement function within organisations. Firstly, the
unit familiarises you with the purchasing processes employed by organisations in both the
public and private sectors. Secondly, the unit discusses strategic decision-making in a range
of procurement-related issues that have a direct impact on how an organisation operates.
Thirdly, the unit examines the supplier-related tasks of purchasing professionals, including
supplier selection and management.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit you should be able to:
1. Investigate the procurement process in a range of applications including public,
capital, project, retail, commodity, services and facilities procurement.
2. Demonstrate critical thinking and knowledge of strategic purchasing issues including,
but not limited to, outsourcing, risk management, innovation, quality control and
supply chain management.
3. Apply contemporary business principles and concepts to supplier selection and
management.
The above learning outcomes are assessed through assignments, a quiz, and the final
examination.

3. REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT
3.1 Traditional Owner/s of the land on which CQ University campuses are located
(1 mark).
The Senior Supplier has asked whether there can be a single key stakeholder representing the Traditional Owners of the land on which the relevant Central Queensland Campuses are located. The Project Executive suggests that they will need more than one key stakeholder representing the Traditional Owners of the land on which Central Queensland Campuses are located.
Describe which approach is most appropriate and provide a brief explanation justifying your answer.
3.2 Opening statement style
(1 mark)
The Project Board has asked that the respective campus leaders open the event on their campus and ask your advice regarding which statement should be used when opening each event. The Board are not sure if it should be a Welcome to Country or an Acknowledgement of Country. The campus leaders are not of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent.
State which of the two opening statement styles ‘Welcome to Country’ or ‘Acknowledgement of Country’ is appropriate for the campus leaders to use and provide a brief explanation justifying your answer.
3.3 Requirements gathering for each event
(1 mark)
The Senior Supplier representing the event management company engaged to design the event program and host the event, provides the following information to the project board:
One of their event program designers previously developed an event program for the local Maori community group. The designer is confident they could utilise the same event program and modify the content by researching the language, customs and protocols online. They suggest by using desktop research only will save both time and money, as there would be no need to contact anyone outside the current project team.
State whether the suggestion of using the previous event program and desktop research method for the NAIDOC week events is an appropriate method of requirements gathering? Briefly explain your answer.
3.4 Requirements traceability
(1 mark)
As multiple campuses will be involved in the project, the project board has requested requirements be tracked centrally. What document is used to track or ‘trace’ requirements throughout the project life cycle?

Assignment Objectives
The purpose of the assignment is to facilitate student development in:
• Understanding the pathophysiology of an acute cardiac condition;
• Nursing care and management of the patient with the cardiac condition;
• Health promotion for the patient with the cardiac condition.
Case Study
Mr Papas is a 54-year-old Greek man who presents to the emergency department with central chest pain. He has no cardiac history and has never been to hospital. There is no known family history of cardiac disease or myocardial infarction. Mr Papas states he has associated symptoms of nausea, diaphoresis, and pain radiating to both shoulders and down his left arm. When asked to rate his pain, he states his pain score is 10 out of 10. When questioned about his social history, he states he smokes cigarettes (15 per day), drinks socially, works as an IT consultant in an office, and does very little exercise.
Mr Papas is pale and clammy. He is afebrile, with a blood pressure of 106/62 mm Hg, a regular pulse of 70bpm, a respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min, and an oxygen saturation of 96% while breathing room air. An ECG reveals an acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). His Troponin I result is 2.4. The plan for Mr Papas is to have thrombolysis medication and be admitted to the cardiac ward for monitoring.
Mr Papas is anxious and feels guilty about his lifestyle that he considers has contributed to his admission today.
1. Risk Factors and Health Promotion
What are the factors that may have contributed to Mr Papas’s myocardial infarction? Outline how you would approach Mr Papas regarding these and what health promotion information and referral’s you would provide to him.
(500 words- this is a guide)
2. Pathophysiology
Briefly describe the pathophysiology behind both a ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in your own words (in the way you would explain it to a family member) and identify how it differs from a non-STEMI.
(400 words- this is a guide)
3. Homeostatic Mechanisms

Philosophy and Human Nature Unit 2 1. Describe Plato’s concept of human nature and his theory of the world. 2. What does Plato see as the main source of human discord? 3. What does Plato prescribe to alleviate human discord? 4. Explain what you see as the main strengths and weaknesses of Plato’s theory? 6. Briefly describe Aristotle’s concept of the world and of human nature. 7. What does Aristotle see as the main source of human discord? 8. What does he prescribe in order to reduce human discord? 9. Describe two ways in which Aristotle’s thought differs from Plato’s? 10. What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of Aristotle’s thought? 11. Today, there is much debate regarding the role of United States government in education. Using mandated government funding for special education (or ‘inclusion’) as an example, which of the two philosophers, Plato or Aristotle, do you think would provide the best arguments for this mandate, and which would be best in arguing against it. Explain their arguments. Which do you agree with most and why? Please answer these question in 3 paragraph essay.

Delays caused by computer downtime cannot be accepted as a valid reason for a late submission
without penalty. Students must plan their work to allow for both scheduled and unscheduled
downtime. Penalties are applied to late assignments (accepted up to 5 days after the due date
only). See the university policy for details.
Individual Assignment: This is an individual assignment. You are not permitted to work as a
group when writing this assignment.
Copying, Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the submission of somebody else’s work in a manner that
gives the impression that the work is your own. The Department of Computer Science and Information
Technology treats academic misconduct seriously. When it is detected, penalties are
strictly imposed. Refer to the unit guide for further information and strategies you can use to
avoid a charge of academic misconduct. All submissions will be electronically checked for plagiarism.
Objectives: The general aims of this assignment are:
• To analyze a problem in an object-oriented manner, and then design and implement an
object-oriented solution that conforms to given specifications
• To practise using inheritance in Java
• To practise file input and output in Java
• To make implementations more robust through mechanisms such as exception handling.
Submission Details: Instructions on how to submit electronic copies of your source code files
from your latcs8 account and a marking scheme overview are given at the end. If you have not
been able to complete a program that compiles and executes containing all functionality, then
you should submit a program that compiles and executes with as much functionality as you have
completed. (You may comment out code that does not compile.)
Deployment Platform: While you are free to develop the code for this assignment on any
