Trimester B Assignment Overview

RESEARCH NOTE: You will need to collect different types of information to carry out the presentation assignment. It is important that you do not take all your information from one source as it is likely to be heavily biased. It is also important that you do not rely solely on company literature as this is likely to put forward a view of the world that suits company management. Students are expected to demonstrate up-to-date research on the chosen approach, the sector of choice, and applied examples of how a company(ies) within that sector has(ve) deployed the approach for the purpose of continuous improvement and/or innovation within the sector.

(1) A ‘critical assessment’ requires you to analyse the role in terms of both benefits and challenges associated with the approach. Therefore your assessment should encompass several arguments and/or perspectives.

(2) You should undertake a keyword academic literature search for findings on the application of your chosen approach. You are therefore expected to apply (referenced) examples of organisations which have implemented – (or are currently exploiting) the approach. The evidence must come from findings which have been published in academic literature or sourced through available organisational / body documentation, with complete reference details given (using the Harvard referencing system) within the reference page.
(3) You should also discuss the implementation challenges faced by organisations in energising commitment and participation when deploying the approach. Again, arguments should be based on findings conveyed in secondary literature in terms of challenges encountered, lessons learned and benefits gained.
(4) You may also wish to reflect on weaknesses in the evidence reviewed and identify any research gaps in the literature which highlights opportunity for further research.
(5) Remember that as this is a ‘formal presentation’ – you must structure your submission in accordance with reporting conventions.

Part1

Individual evaluation of Balanced Scorecard framework (10%): 600 words

This may include further critical assessment and application by way of sectoral insight, to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the framework, over and above findings presented within your group. Please note that this is an ‘academic assessment’ therefore within this section, arguments MUST be underpinned by reference sources.
