Assessment 1:
PART 1: You will produce a report that:
Identifies an issue in your own organisation that has a multiple and varied approaches to its resolution. This should be a current or impending
but not a past issue. You will identify and integrate a range of theories and techniques drawn from multiple appropriate disciplines from your
MBA in the creation of appropriate solutions.
(4000 words)
Once you have framed the problem you will identify and discuss theories, models and paradigms related to the problem. Make sure that you look
at the problem from different points of view and relate them to your learning from as many different units of the MBA. For example:
• People – LMP, LP, MCI – how does your problem/ solution impact on the team & company? Performance, leadership, managing
creativity/innovation etc.
• Financial aspect – AfL – How will your solution improve/ impact positively on the financial aspect of the company?
• Marketing – How does your problem/solution impact on the marketing dimension?
• Strategy – From the Strategy unit (Business Strategy) and from TCGC (locating your problem / organisationwithin the wider context of global
business/ sector – macro-environmental impact – PESTEL, etc.)
• Operations Management – How does the problem/solution impact on the supply chain, procurement and operational management issues?
• Project management – Consider the models for managing change and other project management theories or models. Can any of these be applied to
your problem area? You may use the soft and hard systems approach within this context. Is there any other approach that would be appropriate?
If so, present it (with appropriate referencing) and explain how and why it is more suitable to the task at hand.
This is not an exhaustive list and you may want to broaden the range of theories as you see fit.
It is however most important to use an integrated approach rather than look at each dimension on its own. The theories around your strategic
problem constitute around 90% of the literature reviewed. The rest – 10% – you can use to talk about soft, hard or alternative approaches to
dealing with the strategic problem. These proportions are purely for indicative purposes and not a strict measure.
PART 2: You will produce a critical review of the literature of your work in Part A – compilation and integration of a range of theories and
techniques drawn from multiple appropriate disciplines from your MBA. (4000 words)
You will do so by critically evaluating the concepts, theories, models used in Part 1 and by providing a clear justification for their
selection. This part of your assessment will reflect the debates in the literature about the concepts used.
Assessment 2, Reflective Report (20% Weighting)
You will produce a reflective account that:
Critically evaluates your capabilities at managing the process of producing the Project and reflects upon your development and future needs as a
practitioner based on your learning during the Project. (2,000 words).
