DATA4900 Innovation and Creativity in Business Analytics Assignment 

Assessment 3 Information

Your Task

• This assessment is to be done individually.
• Students are to write a 1,800-word report using on Complexity Science principles and AI in business and submit it as a Microsoft Word file via the Turnitin portal at the end of week 9.
• You will receive marks for content, appropriate structure and referencing.

Assessment Description

In this assessment, you will be writing an individual report that encourages you to be creative with business analytics, whilst also developing a response to a brief containing a “wicked problem”, to be addressed using Complexity Science principles and Artificial Intelligence.

The wicked problem is that Australia is experiencing a significant demographic shift, with its population ageing at an unprecedented rate. This trend presents multifaceted challenges across healthcare, the economy, and social services.

The increasing number of older Australians is expected to place significant pressure on healthcare services, necessitating reforms to accommodate the rising demand for aged care and chronic disease management.

An ageing population may lead to a smaller workforce, affecting economic productivity and increasing the dependency ratio, which could strain public finance

There will be a need to ensure that older adults, particularly those from CALD backgrounds, are socially included and have equitable access to services, which is a growing concern.

There is a consensus on the need for comprehensive policies that address the multifaceted challenges of an ageing population, including retirement income systems, healthcare, and social services.

Assessment Instructions

Imagine that you are responsible for the current Australian Government’s Ageing Program. You have been given the remit to oversee the provision of targeted services to support the ageing of the Australian population. This includes allocating funding for innovative projects

.

Your expertise is in complexity science and artificial intelligence.

Your recommended initiatives are to be based on data. The following link will help: https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/older-people/older-australians/contents/demographic-profile

There is a need to access additional third party reports to support your findings in your research report.

Your report should have:

1. An introduction (100 words)

1. A section discussing the association between Australia’s capacity to be resilient and grow, with the requirement to provide for an ageing population. This section should be supported by data (500 words)

1. A section on the role of complexity science in helping to unlock the rules as to how the Australian Government can best provide for an ageing population, again supported by data (500 words)

1. A section recommending how artificial intelligence can be used in conjunction with complexity science to better cater for the needs of Australia with an ageing population (500 words)

1. Conclusion and recommendations (200 words)
2. At least six references in Harvard or another recognised academic format.

Please see the level of Generative AI that this assessment has been designed to accept:

Important warning about the Level 2 Generative AI Rating for this Assessment

A level 2 Amber rating for Generative AI means you can use Generative AI as a research tool and as input to a broader argument that you, yourself, have developed.

A level 2 Amber reading means that the use of Generative AI is optional. You are not authorised to “copy and paste” Generative AI content, even when it is referenced and you need to paraphrase all Generative AI output and reference it.

Where large sections (more than 30 words) of text have been based on Generative AI output you will need to provide an appendix which shows your conversation with Generative AI, including your prompts submitted to the Generative AI.

Failure to follow the above Generative AI guidelines can result in a reduction in marks and the recording of an Academic Integrity breach.

Assessment Marking Guide

Note 1: A reduction in grade will be applied if any part of the assessment displays any evidence of the use of AI generated content, without acknowledgement / referencing of this source / generative question

Note 2: A reduction in grade will be applied if any part of the assessment is deemed by the assessor where it shows an over-reliance on AI generated content in your answer. There needs to be demonstration of original thought, preferably supported by peer-reviewed journals and industry journals
