Objectives:
This assessment item relates to course learning outcomes numbers 1, 2, and 5 as stated in the course profile.
Description:
It requires the writing of a report. The report should be designed as a management document that can be used to implement recommended changes. It should include a comprehensive analysis of the current situation using theories, models and frameworks related to leadership and governance. Students are expected to engage in extensive research within the academic literature relating to leadership and governance. It also requires students to suggest practical solutions/recommendations based on research and analysis.
Details:
The assessment item is based on the case study titled "Blake Mycoskie and TOMS" (pp. 59-60) of the textbook: Leadership: theory, application & skill development (6th Ed.) by Lussier & Achua, Cengage Learning. You should read, and carefully analyse, the case and respond to the issues presented in, and hidden behind, the case scenario within the context of a professionally developed report. You are required to support your arguments with appropriate theoretical discussion and references.
The introduction should introduce the report, thesis statement (main objectives of the assignment) and include your argument. The main body of the assignment should present the evidence you have collected to support your arguments for the questions you are required to research. The conclusion section should restate your arguments, summaries the evidence and make a conclusion from all previous discussions.
The assignment must contain a coherent, but necessarily restricted review of the academic literature on HRM topics in question. The literature review should be integrated into the assignment and not be a separate section. A reference list formatted in the prescribed Harvard style is compulsory.
