Case Study: Students will write an individual report to demonstrate the depth of their learning and development of knowledge arising from their participation in the MBA401 subject. This report will require undertaking research that is relevant to the topic statement. • Students must draw on key academic theories (minimum 3) relevant to the chosen topic. • The topic proposition posed for the assessment cannot be answered definitively. The assessment requires students to discuss possible assumptions, make effective arguments, and with a logically detailed conclusion. • Students will use a report structure for the writing of this assessment.
This is the summative assessment for the subject. Students are to demonstrate the level of their overall subject understanding, drawn from a semester's learning, subject engagement, and with considerations of theory, drawn from academic research, that might also be applied in a practical setting.
Questions: The following should be explored and be included in the report:
1. Explore the critical nature of relationships between people in an organisation especially with regard to leaders and followers.
2. Identify how leaders may create, reinforce or even destroy organisational culture by their interactions with the organisation's employees.
3. What role, if any, might trust between leaders and followers play in the decision making process? Discuss with reference to at least three theories or concepts you have explored in MBA401. You may also provide practical examples drawn from contemporary business.
