Critically analyse how the stakeholder theory creates value for a chosen organisation.
Project description
1. The theory: Use one or more theories to support your standpoint. The theories used should be applied to practical situations.
2. The structure:
Flexible. You can describe the theory you intend to use to support your standpoint, and then use practical situations to reinforce your work. There is no fixed order to structure this assignment.
3. The link between theory and cases:
Remember to relate the two together sufficiently! You need to relate the theory to evidence in your assessment. The evidence needs to be specific. Don’t use generalised and anecdotal evidence. Use the relevant library databases to research on specific industries or cases.
4. Use of literature:
Use academic source, i.e. books, journal articles etc. A minimum of 20 referenced academic sources is required overall. Do not over use internet sources (50% maximum). Academic journals can be good resources of industrial cases which may give you some good ideas about the situations. You are required to have proper in-text reference and the reference list in the end using the Harvard Referencing System.
5. The writing:
Try to approach this assignment in a logical and systematic way. Produce a plan of each task before you start. Make sure you set clear objectives, have a logical structure, a convincing argument, clear description of the situations which ‘set the scene’, and clear explanation which relate to theories, and a conclusion that draws your argument together.
Please make sure the language very simple and you are free to use any number of references but make sure you you reference them.
