Individual Reflection on Tencent’s Strategic Reorganisation and International Business Strategy
This International Business Strategy assessment is an individual reflective exercise based on a case-study discussion undertaken during Weeks 5–8 of the module. Its purpose is to develop students’ ability to critically reflect on learning experiences and use that reflection to improve future academic and professional performance. Students participate in approximately 30-minute seminar discussions in which theoretical concepts from the module are applied to real-world business cases with tutors and peers. IBS-0901-2025-+Reflection2-Ref For this entry, the selected case is Tencent: “third time lucky?”. The case examines how Tencent evolved from a Chinese instant-messaging company into a major technology group spanning messaging, gaming, entertainment, investment and cloud services. It focuses particularly on three major organisational reorganisations undertaken in 2005, 2012 and 2018 as the company attempted to address increasing organisational complexity, coordination problems, changing technologies and new strategic priorities. The 2005 restructuring responded to Tencent’s growing scale by dividing the organisation into major business and platform-development groups. By 2012, further growth and the success of products such as WeChat had created new organisational complexity, leading to a structure organised around seven distinct business groups. The case highlights that this arrangement subsequently contributed to a “silo culture”, creating difficulties in sharing ideas, data, code and customers across business units. The 2018 reorganisation responded to a strategic shift toward the “industrial internet”, including greater emphasis on cloud services, business-to-business solutions and digital transformation. Tencent reorganised around six major groups, including Cloud and Smart Industries, Platforms and Content, Interactive Entertainment, Corporate Development, WeChat, and Technology and Engineering, while also establishing a technical committee intended to improve internal coordination and data sharing. The case asks students to consider both the strategic rationale for each restructuring and whether the 2018 changes adequately addressed Tencent’s organisational challenges. The reflection itself must be between 150 and 250 words. Students should explain what the week’s topic and case study were about, what they learned from the discussion, how the conversation helped them apply theory to their final report, and what key insights they gained. They should also reflect on what went well, what challenges were encountered and what they would change if repeating the session. At least one reflective framework, such as Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle or Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, must be applied. IBS-0901-2025-+Reflection2-Ref The wider learning outcomes emphasise strategic management theory, internationalisation, internal and external environmental influences, critical analysis of international organisations and the use of analytical tools to evaluate strategic options. The task therefore combines strategic thinking, international business analysis and reflective professional development. IBS-0901-2025-+Reflection2-Ref The accompanying Tencent case specifically asks students to consider why each major reorganisation occurred, whether the 2018 restructuring adequately addressed Tencent’s challenges, and what additional “hard” and “soft” implementation measures might have been necessary.

AI Innovation Consultancy: Evaluating Artificial Intelligence Solutions for Business Problems
This individual consultancy assessment requires students to act as an AI Innovation Consultant and evaluate how artificial intelligence could address a significant real-world business problem. Students select one industry—such as healthcare, retail, FinTech, manufacturing or agriculture—and concentrate on a single clearly defined organisational challenge rather than comparing multiple sectors. Potential issues include long waiting times, high operating costs, fraud and risk, poor customer experience or inefficient supply chains. The report develops a practical AI solution by identifying suitable technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing or computer vision and explaining how they would operate within the chosen organisational context. Students are not required to build an AI system; instead, the emphasis is on demonstrating business-level technical understanding, critical thinking and the ability to assess whether the proposed technology can realistically integrate with existing organisational processes. The analysis considers the capabilities and limitations of AI, technical feasibility, integration requirements and the skills or organisational capabilities required for implementation. Students must also critically examine ethical, legal and social implications, including issues such as algorithmic bias, transparency, accountability, privacy and regulatory obligations such as UK GDPR. Appropriate risk-mitigation measures should be proposed. A substantial element of the report develops the business case for AI adoption. Students evaluate implementation costs and expected benefits, estimate return on investment, identify assumptions and commercial risks, and assess the overall strategic value of the solution to the organisation. The report concludes with clear recommendations, implementation priorities and a final judgement on whether the proposed AI initiative is feasible and worthwhile. The assessment places strong emphasis on critical analysis, technical understanding, business acumen and professional communication. Students are expected to support arguments with credible academic, industry and government evidence and include at least two professional visualisations such as frameworks, diagrams or tables. Harvard referencing is required throughout. Overview word count: approximately 330 words. The brief also allows authorised use of generative AI for idea generation, drafting/structuring and proofreading, provided the student verifies accuracy, references appropriately and submits the required GenAI declaration.

ParkaLot Enterprise Parking Garage Management System: Software Analysis, Design and Prototype Development
This enterprise software engineering project requires students to analyse, design and prototype a centralised parking garage management system for ParkaLot Group, a UK operator of multi-storey parking facilities. The existing organisation relies heavily on manual processes, local spreadsheets and simple barrier-based vehicle counts, resulting in limited real-time occupancy information, inconsistent reservation arrangements, decentralised billing and reduced ability to optimise parking capacity and revenue. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1) The proposed system supports ParkaLot’s wider digital transformation by integrating customer registration, reservations, parking-space allocation, occupancy monitoring, contracts and billing. Customers can check availability and reserve parking through an online portal, while frequent and corporate users can establish recurring arrangements or block reservations. License-plate recognition and individual parking-space sensors enable automated access control and real-time occupancy tracking. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1) Additional functionality includes centralised electronic billing, dynamic pricing, promotional schemes and predictive decision-making for controlled overbooking. Historical usage data may be analysed to estimate no-shows, early departures and overstays, while operational dashboards support staffing, pricing and capacity-management decisions across the garage network. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1) Development is undertaken in two phases. The first uses structured analysis and design, requiring an Entity Relationship Diagram, Data Flow Diagram including a context diagram, and implementation of a prototype database. The second expands the solution using object-oriented analysis and UML, with emphasis on adaptable and reusable software design. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1) The final report covers the software-engineering **5 Ps—Problem, Process, Project, Product and People—**alongside ERD and DFD models, UML use cases, at least three sequence diagrams, a detailed class diagram and application of design patterns such as GRASP. Students must also submit prototype evidence, source code, personal reflection, peer assessment and work-contribution documentation. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1) Overall, the assessment integrates requirements engineering, structured modelling, object-oriented design, database development, design patterns, software project management, implementation and acceptance testing within a realistic enterprise-system case study. Overview word count: approximately 360 words. AI-use note: the brief permits Levels 1–4 of generative-AI use, including research and exploration at Level 4, but all final submitted text, code, diagrams and designs must be the students’ own work. Level 4 use requires disclosure, an appendix of prompts/outputs and reflective commentary. COMP1471 CW 2526 (1)
