MBA 7000 People and Organisations – Assessment Brief

 

Words – 1200

 

 

Task/assessment brief:

This assessment has two questions – you must answer both questions.

Question 1:  Undertake a PESTLE analysis of the drivers for change at Transport for Wales (TFW)
Give a brief introduction about the organisation before providing a detailed PESTLE table showing each element with a series of bullet points identifying issues specifically relevant to TFW. Then select what you consider have been the two most important drivers for change in recent times -write approx. 400 words explaining why you consider these to be significant.  You should try to underpin your written discussion with reference to academic theory, both about the PESTLE model and about its importance in understanding change.  This answer is worth 35 marks.  You should therefore be sure that you understand and can apply the PESTLE model. (Learning Outcome(s) satisfied: 2 and 3)

Question 2: Compare and contrast the McKinsey’s 7S process for change (Peters and Waterman, 1982) with Kotter’s 8 Step process.  You should not describe the models but can provide diagrams or images showing how they work. You must include a range of academic opinions from other academic authors on the advantages, disadvantages and appropriateness of each model in different types of circumstance.  You should write approximately 800 words. This answer is worth 65 marks and you should therefore conduct in-depth academic research into both models, and how they can be applied in different types of organisations.  (Learning Outcome(s) satisfied: 1, 2 and 3)

Other skills/attributes developed

This includes elements of the Cardiff Met EDGE (Ethical, Digital, Global and Entrepreneurial skills) and other attributes developed in students through the completion of the module and assessment. These will also be highlighted in the module guidance, which should be read by all students completing the module. Assessments are not just a way of auditing student knowledge. They are a process which provides additional learning and development through the preparation for and completion of the assessment.

• Ethical: Understanding the importance of correctly attributing the work of others – through citations, quotations and correctly formatted reference lists. Avoiding plagiarism, copying and pasting of ideas or images.

• Digital: Using MetSearch and the University’s website as the sole sources of academic and company research, thus navigating your way around different IT systems and databases, whilst also ensuring that your research comes from reliable business and academic sources (ethical).

• Global: Understanding that UK assessments at Masters’ level, may be very different in format, and the way they are marked, from that which you have experienced in your home country previously. Making sure that you adapt to the UK methodology and asking for help and support from the International Office study skills support team as required.

• Learning from Feedback: This assignment is deliberately worth only 30% of the total grade for the module. It is also deliberately set in week 6, so that there is time for you to receive your mark, and more importantly your feedback, well before you attempt the exam. Your tutor’s feedback is a very valuable and important part of this process, since it will explain what you have done well, or according to the assignment brief, and also point out where you could have earned more marks, or what you have not done so well and how to improve.
