Disgrifiad cryno

The Report offers the opportunity for students to demonstrate investigative and research skills that are taught during the contact sessions of the module. The separate components include a Strategic Analysis to scope the chosen subject area and supervised research into real-world organizations.

The Report will provide some description of, financial data and product-market strategy. Examiners will seek to specifically award grades to students that address the following:

1. Critical analysis of the company/organizational/ institutional situation/financial structure and business management systems.

2. Demonstrate the use of business management tools, techniques, frameworks and analytical approaches to diagnose the company /organizational/institutional situation.

3. Demonstrate an appreciation of 'time' illustrating the dynamic elements involved in strategic and organizational evolution (students are strongly recommended to consider the longitudinal issues over time rather than purely adopt a static view point of the issues today).

4. Use appropriate referencing (both managerial and academic sources) so as to anchor analyses to literature, rather than make the project self-opinion-based.

Students should appreciate that this assignment is deliberately broad. However, it is expected that the student will base their report by focusing specifically on business structures and systems. There is no definitive structure and the scope given in the brief above is designed as integral to the assessment process. This latitude provides an opportunity for students to compile the most incisive report that analyses the company/organizational/institutional situation. An implicit part of the assessment is that students devise the structure that they feel is most appropriate to their critical analysis.
