Academic integrity While the University is aware that the vast majority of students and staff act ethically and honestly, it is opposed to and will not tolerate academic integrity breaches and will treat all allega"ons seriously.

Further informa"on on academic integrity, and the resources available to all students can be found on the academic integrity pages on the current students website: h#ps://sydney.edu.au/students/academic-integrity.html.

We use Turni"n, which includes AI detec"on, to detect poten"al instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further inves"ga"on.

You may only use ar"ficial intelligence and wri"ng assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permi#ed to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement sec"on.

Further informa"on for on research integrity and ethics for postgraduate research students and students undertaking research-focussed coursework such as Honours and capstone research projects can be also be found on the current students website: h#ps://sydney.edu.au/students/research- integrity-ethics.html.

Assignment Brief:

Write an academic paper on the topic of " The impact of the project manager in the process of project ini"a"on.”

Students should read and reference at least seven (7) peer reviewed publica"ons to find at least 3 (max 5) concepts that are discussed in the literature as impac"ng the project manager's role in the process of project ini"a"on. These concepts can be wanted or unwanted personal a#ributes, managerial or technical skills, types of knowledge, organisa"onal structures or anything else that is discussed as impac"ng the project manager's role in the process of project ini"a"on.

Your paper should be wri#en as a thema"c literature review. That is, a review of your cited literature discussing the topic, organised around what those publica"ons say about the concepts you have chosen. These are the themes of your literature review and your wri"ng should provide a focused overview and cri"cal analysis of how these themes are discussed in the cited publica"ons. Doing a thema"c analysis requires you to summarise what your cited literature says about the chosen topic and gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your narra"ve wri"ng skills in an academic context. A good thema"c literature review not only summarises what the cited authors have said about the topic, covering where they have agreed or disagreed on par"cular points, it does so clearly, concisely and effec"vely. It tells a story.

For this assignment, you will be required to u"lise your academic research skills to find peer reviewed academic literature (i.e. academic conference and/or journals papers and industry white papers, standards, etc.) on the assignment topic, as well as to evaluate and cri"cally appraise this literature for what it says about the topics of interest.

Cited publica"ons are best sourced from refereed journal ar"cles obtainable through the University of Sydney electronic library. The three main refereed journals in the discipline of project management are:

Interna!onal Journal of Project Management Project Management Journal Interna!onal Journal of Managing Projects in Business

In addi"on, many of the general management journals contain papers and ar"cles relevant to project management. The advantage of using journal papers as a source for your learning is that:

1. They are generally more current than many text books. 2. They are generally more comprehensive than many textbooks because the en"re paper is focused on a given topic. 3. They are generally very useful for follow-on references, publica"ons in their reference list that may provide a path to follow for more informa"on. 4. They provide a good model for you to develop your academic style of wri"ng and to provide you with an apprecia"on of the rigour, expected level

of details and requirements for academic wri"ng. 5. They provide hints and "ps on research methods and approaches.

This assessment is designed as an assessment for learning. As such, upon comple"on of this assignment, in addi"on to acquiring knowledge regarding the impact of the project Manager in the process of project ini"a"on, you should gain confidence in the learning process – that is, you would have “learned how to learn”.
