Purpose
Assignment Specifications
This assignment aims at providing students with an opportunity to reflect on organisational problems and challenges and apply concepts and frameworks covered within the subject to solving such problems.
In groups of 4, students must:
Step 1: each group should select an organisation in any industry in any country for your analysis.
Step 2: Your task then is to identify and briefly describe a current organisational problem or challenge faced by your chosen organisation. Relevant problems or challenges may include (but not limited to) high turnover rate, low performance among workers, the need to implement a change within the organisation, poor communication between managers and employees, etc. Note that these are only examples and you are free to focus on other problems that have practical relevance to the organisation you have selected. However, it will be good to include examples mentioned in this briefing.
Step 3: Critically analyse the problem or challenge you have identified in step 2; drawing on relevant concepts and theories taught in this unit.
Step 4: Based on your analysis, make specific recommendations on how to resolve the problem or challenge and how to improve the organisation's effectiveness in dealing with the issues. You might
choose more than one issue but not more than 2 issues, as you need to delve into the issue rather than being superficial.
Assignment report structure should be, as follows:
• The report must include a cover page with who did what in the report.
• Table of Contents
• Executive Summary
• An Introduction and background information of the selected organisation: Briefly introduce the purpose of the report. Within the introductory paragraph, you need to address the key topics you will address in the body paragraphs.
• Overview of the current organisational problem or challenge.
• Detailed analysis of the current organisational problem supported with relevant concepts and theories.
• Conclusion and Recommendations: The conclusion must briefly summarise the key points in the body paragraphs and outline some recommendations.
• Reference List: Please include all in-text references in the list of references formatted in Harvard style. A minimum of 12 references is required.
