Managing Organisations Assignment - Manager Interview -

Task: Students are to interview a current Manager to identify and analyse how he/she performs, as part of their Managerial responsibilities, one of the fundamental Functions of Management (i.e. Planning, Leading, Organising or Controlling). This information is to be presented as a report (max 1000 words) with a minimum of three distinct references from academic 'peer-reviewed' journals to support your analysis.

Purpose: The assignment is designed to help students recognise the way in which a key management concept studied in the unit is applied in practice.

Report Research: The aim of the report is to explain and evaluate how theory is applied in practice. Specifically, how a manager applies in practice one of the four managerial functions (i.e. Planning, Leading, Organising or Controlling). As such, develop three to five open-ended questions that specifically address the manager's understanding and application of the selected managerial function and analyse the information you get for your evaluation.

Report Structure:

The evaluative report structure is often used when you must research theory and apply it to a practical or real situation. For this assessment, it must be used and contains the following sections and headings.
