Instructions:

You are required to write a short reflective report covering the content in the first three weeks, that is, all of module one and the first half of module two. More specifically:

• Module 1.1 - The nature of organisations, the role of management and challenges faced
• Module 1.2 - Motivation, influence and power and politics and
• Module 2.1 - Communication, conflict and negotiation

In writing your reflective analysis, you should consider the learning resources provided in the respective modules as well as reading more broadly on the relevant topics.

Think carefully about what you are reading and what has been discussed in class or in on- line discussions. Identify the key principles and concepts and be sure you know what they mean, why they are important and how they can be applied.
Your reflective analysis write up may take a variety of forms but must be within the word limit and include:
• A short introduction.
• An analysis of the relevant module topics including their relevance to you and application.
• A short conclusion.
• Reference list.
In reflecting upon the module topics, you should explore questions such as:

1. What is in the content and why is this topic important?
2. How is the topic relevant to you?
3. What has been your past experience in this topical area?
4. What have you learnt from the content so far and how will you use it in the remainder of the subject or in your workplace?

The word limit is short, so make use of tables, figures and diagrams as these are not included in your word count.
You will be assessed against the learning rubric below and your level of insight and application of knowledge from Modules 1 and 2.1.
