Question:

This complex situation has clear parallels with events that took place in 2020, when Covid-19 swept the globe. As the senior policy advisor in the Department responsible for jobs and innovation, the Head of the Department has asked you to research and learn from the events in 2020, in particular the hotel quarantine inquiry. With the above case in mind: Research the 2020 Covid-19 hotel quarantine inquiry (see the sample of resources provided at the end of the assignment). Theoretically analyse the problem by drawing on the neo-humanist perspective, the radical structuralist perspective, and at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. Develop theoretically-informed reflections on key organisational errors that were made setting up the quarantine program in 2020 (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report). Develop a set of theoretically-informed principles to guide decisions and action by drawing on the neo-humanist perspective, the radical structuralist perspective, and at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. This concept / theory may be the same as that which you have used for point 1. These principles must be explicit in your brief to the Head of the Department. (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report. Principles are fundamental, guiding rules for action. For example, a principle informed by neo-humanism, might be: “Maximal communication and critique of ideas across groups and boundaries is critical”. A decision-making principle informed by radical structuralism might be: “Opportunities to advance the interests of workers must be seized”. Identify the implications of your principles and provide advice for action. For example, an implication of the principle “Maximal communication and critique of ideas across groups and boundaries is critical” might be, “it is vital that cross-team and departmental collaboration be facilitated; this may make it challenging to make quick decisions, and further thought must be given to this”. (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report) Reflect on the limitations of your advice. Your reflections will display an awareness of the limitations of the neo-humanist and radical structuralist perspectives. You may introduce the paradigms of functionalism and social relativism, here, to aid your reflection, if you wish. Your reflections will also be guided by at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. The limitations of your advice must be explicit in your brief to the Head of the Department.
