Description

Main Objective of the assessment

You are required to submit a critical analysis of research topic (given above) in relation to a chosen topic of study/area of interest in the context of Business Studies.

This research topic normally relates the research issues in your master programme subject area.

Description of the Assessment

You need to undertake a significant literature review, which outlines the underpinning methodologies and the research method(s) adopted in previous research that incorporates a range of viewpoints and perspectives.

It is essential to provide a critical analysis that applies the knowledge and understanding acquired during the module to evaluate theoretical and technical aspects of related research methodologies and methods.

You are expected to demonstrate both breadth and depth of understanding of relevant academic literature of the chosen topic.

You are required to explain, discuss and evaluate the methodologies applied in the reviewed literature.

Typically, your essay should have (a) an executive summary (b) Introduction (c) literature review (d) Analysis, discussion and evaluation of research methodology (e) Findings and what you have learnt from this assignment (f) References (Harvard Referencing System).

In this assignment, you are expected to use relevant materials from academic research books and academic empirical journal articles (ABS ranking listed journals) in your subject area to support your analysis and arguments when formulating your assignment.

Your analysis, discussion and evaluation should be backed with appropriate academic references and examples where necessary.

This assignment should be presented with 12 pt. Times New Roman Text with line spacing of 1.5. The word limit is 2000 words (excluding references). Note that assignment below this word limit by more than 10% would result in decrease in the overall achieved mark by 10%.

Identify gaps and potential venues for improvement.Consider how effective your risk management process throughout the project was

This assignment requires you to prepare an Individual Report based on the group project work and

the Project Plan developed.

Your report should evaluate your project and review the way through which you managed it. You

need to reflect upon your presentation, evaluate your project outcome, your performance as

managing team and the decisions you took throughout your journey as well as your own individual

performance.

Effectively, you need to critically evaluate your project plan and the effectiveness of

the methodologies and processes you followed for managing the various aspects of your project.

For instance, consider how effective your risk management process throughout the project was

and to which extent RM was done according to standards of best practices.

Your analysis of your management practice against theory and best practices should enable you to

identify gaps and potential venues for improvement. This should lead to recommendations for

improving project management and ensuring success in future projects. You could also think of key

lessons that you, as an individual, are taking from the experience you had.
