Event Case Study
Option A is the preferred choice for this assignment, however for those who are not able to volunteer for an event in the timeframe, Option B is available. There are thousands of event ideas considered every day and we never really know how successful an event will be. When Sydney-based, Andy Ridley, came up with Earth Hour in a think tank in 2007, little did he know how global this event would become.
If you choose this Option B written assignment, you are required to examine the global event,
Earth Hour, and address the following criteria in a written report:
1. Title page including report topic, Unit # and name, your name and ID #, lecturer name, submission date (not included in the word limit);
2. Table of content and Word count at the bottom of the page (not included in the word limit);
3. Describe Earth Hour (e.g., what it is, its purpose, where and how it started, participating countries) (300 words) (in this part use some academic/industry references)
As a Figure (not included in the word limit) in your report, visually demonstrate a timeline of events from 2007 to 2018. This one-page timeline should include the number of participating countries, before/after photos of selective iconic landmarks, and significant milestones. Refer to this timeline in your description above;
4. There are over 22 corporations associated with Earth Hour. List 20 corporations listed as official supporters of Earth Hour as a Table (not included in the word limit). To examine these supporters in more detail, select two supporters and indicate what they do to demonstrate their commitment to the cause (e.g., IKEA China supports Earth Hour by dimming lights across stores in 9 cities in China, offering a solar lamp – SUNNAN – as the offer of the day). Tip: look for a media release. In addition, using reference to the event management theory of this unit, discuss how/why Earth Hour and the selected corporation align to have mutual benefits (600 words). Another tip: this is a section that requiresacademic references to support your demonstration and understanding of relevant theory;
