BACKGROUND /
INTRODUCTION

A Presentation Package consisting of a maximum 15 slides, detailed below in Assignment Two.

Students are required to submit a presentation slides package, based on the report done in
Assignment One, using slides (not more than fifteen slides).

The submission of your slides package should be organized and clearly structured in a report format.

TASKS

Assignment Two:

Your slides package should consist of the visuals that you would use to prepare for a presentation
of your written report to your client organisation.

The emphasis in this task is on deployment, application and presentation which is reflected in the
mark allocations for component 2.

written report (assignment component one), demonstrating the value of your analysis to your client
and detailing the key academic insights and emphasising the deployment, applications and
presentation of these insights in the context of your chosen client organisation.

Your presentation package should therefore be a combination of the academic/ conceptual insights
(with the relevant academic sources clearly indicated on each of your slides), together with the
practical value of these insights being demonstrated in the context of your chosen organisation.

GUIDANCE FOR STUDENTS IN THE COMPLETION OF
TASKS
NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five generic assessment criteria overleaf.

1. Engagement with Literature Skills


Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s)
set; you should make use of scholarly reviews and primary sources, as appropriate (for example, refereed
research articles and/or original materials appropriate to the discipline). You should provide evidence that
you have accessed a wide range of sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial; these
sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks, current news articles, organisational documents,
and websites. You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic journals are normally highly
credible sources while websites require careful consideration/selection and should be used sparingly. Any
sources you use should be current and up-to-date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though
seminal/important works in the field may be older. You must provide evidence of your research/own reading
throughout your work, using correctly a suitable referencing system, including in-text citations in the main
body of your work and a reference list at the end of your work.

Guidance specific to this assessment:


The report and the presentation package should include evidence of literature searches conducted
in quality sources meeting the above criterion. This should be made evident by including these as
in- text references indicating that your submissions have academic bases.
Both of your submissions should also have a list of references (Harvard Method).

2. Knowledge and Understanding Skills


At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate a systematic understanding of knowledge, and a critical
awareness of current problems and/or new insights, much of which is at, or informed by, the forefront of your
academic discipline, field of study or area of professional practice, with a comprehensive understanding of
techniques applicable to your own research or advanced scholarship. Your work must demonstrate your
growing mastery of these concepts, principles, current challenges, innovation and insights associated with
the subject area. Knowledge relates to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through your
learning. You demonstrate your understanding by interpreting the meaning of the facts and information
(knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in your work the contemporary concepts,
techniques, models, theories, etc. appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the theories,
concepts, etc. meaningfully to show your understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the extent
to which you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding; ideally each should be complete and detailed,
with comprehensive coverage.

Guidance specific to this assessment:


Both of your submissions should include relevant marketing concepts and models which are geared
to the tasks set out in the assignment and can act as the bases for your further theoretical analysis
and evaluation in the next criterion.

3. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills


You should be able to evaluate critically current research and advanced scholarship in the discipline; evaluate
methodologies and develop critiques of them and, where appropriate, to propose new hypotheses; deal with
complex issues both systematically and creatively to make sound judgements in the absence of complete
data. Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example,
to examine and break information down into parts, make inferences, compile, compare and contrast
information. This means not just describing what! But also justifying: Why? How? When? Who? Where? At
what cost? At all times, you must provide justification for your arguments and judgements. Evidence that
you have reflected upon the ideas of experts within the subject area is crucial to you providing a reasoned
and informed debate within your work. Your choice of methodologies to gather data and information must
Page 7 of 16
be rigorously defended. Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you are able to make sound
judgements and convincing arguments using data and concepts. Sound, valid, persuasive conclusions are
necessary and must be derived from the content of your work. Where relevant, alternative solutions and
recommendations may be proposed.

Guidance specific to this assessment:


You must also demonstrate the ability to critically review the key concepts and models from the
previous criterion, and be able to put forward the views and arguments put forward by the various
authors, their supporting evidences and your thesis statements on how you interpret and value the
key principles and practices they have proposed.

4. Practical Skills
At level 7, you should be able to demonstrate originality in the application of knowledge, together with a
practical understanding of how established techniques of research and enquiry are used to create and
interpret knowledge in the discipline. This includes acting autonomously in planning and implementing tasks
at a professional or equivalent level, originality in tackling and solving problems, and decision-making in
complex and unpredictable contexts or situations.

You should be able to demonstrate mastery of the leading edge subject-related concepts and ideas as they
relate to real world situations and/or particular contexts. How do they work in practice? You will deploy
models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in those contexts or circumstances, to assess current
situations, perhaps to formulate plans or plausible, justifiable recommendations to solve problems, or to
propose new models, or to create artefacts, which may be innovative and creative, thereby demonstrating
your understanding of how the boundaries of knowledge are advanced through research and/or application.
This is likely to involve, for instance, the use of real world artefacts, examples and cases, the application of
a model within an organisation and/or benchmarking one theory or organisation against others.

Guidance specific to this assessment:


The key principles and practices gathered from the criterion above must be applied in the context of
your chosen business/organisation and its market and putting forward recommendations for this
business / organisation – justified by relating these to the evidence provided in the above criterion.

5. Transferable Skills for Life and Professional Practice


Your work must provide evidence of the qualities and transferable skills necessary for postgraduate-level
employment in circumstances requiring sound judgement, personal responsibility and initiative in complex
and unpredictable professional environments. This includes demonstrating the independent learning ability
for continuing professional development to advance existing skills and acquire new competences of a
professional nature that will enable you to assume significant responsibility within organisations that you can
initiate and complete tasks, projects and procedures, whether individually and/or collaboratively, to a
professional level; that you can use appropriate media to effectively communicate information, arguments
and analysis in a variety of forms for a variety of audiences; fluency of expression; clarity and effectiveness
in presentation and organisation. Work should be coherent and well-structured in presentation and
organisation.

Guidance specific to this assessment:


You must aim to produce professional quality submissions.
Assignment 1- involves a business report that will be viewed as such by your intended readers and
provide them with lots of advice in line with the set tasks set out in the assignment.
Assignment 2- involves the slides package that you would use in an oral presentation of your work
and proposals to your intended audience. This package must have the potential to act as your basis
for an informed and professional delivery.
