JUSTIFICATION OF TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGY:

The teaching and learning strategies adopted for this module are appropriate for all modes of study and are designed to enable the participants to meet the rigorous requirements of MBA study. This includes developing metacognition, critical thinking and communication skills at a leadership level. The teaching, learning and assessment strategy is designed to ensure that you consider concepts and theories within a real world context.

Within this module, we consider critical issues that are covered across all topics of MBA study such as leadership, ethical behaviour, corporate social responsibility, sustainability and organisational culture while developing core analytical skills in research, evaluation and dissemination.

This is the first module on the MBA and on this module you are expected to read widely, using the online reading list as a platform to broaden your search for information to keep in touch with current business issues.

We encourage you to share your ideas with each other and to engage in critical questioning of your research in relation to your personal experiences. We expect you to take time to interact with peers.

You are expected to engage with the virtual learning environment (NILE) on a regular basis. Your core reading is available from NILE as are communication tools and access to additional information. Submission of your assessment is through NILE and feedback and grades will be returned to you via NILE. Your tutor will also keep you updated to the latest information and news through announcements on NILE.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

There is one assessment for this module that requires critical analysis of literature and evidence based evaluation. Assessment will take place within the grade descriptors and overall assessment criteria of the University. Clear guidelines will be given as to the nature of the project, word limits, the deadline for submission, the need for appropriate academic referencing and academic integrity.

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS

You will submit a 2,500 word literature review on a critical issue in business and management. The assessment brief will clarify expectations and topics. Within this assessment you must research your topic from quality academic sources. This can include academic journals and practitioner materials and acceptable business and management sources. You will be supported in your ability to assess the quality of a source of information. You will be expected to read widely, and to bring across ideas from a range of sources. Analysis, evaluation and your conclusions will need to be clearly evidence based from supporting references.

Support for critical writing, developing literature reviews and master’s level writing, referencing and other academic skills is available from the University of Northampton skills hub: http://skillshub.northampton.ac.uk/
