BM7201 LMDP Assessment Information 2023-24
The due date for this assignment is Monday 22nd January at 12 Midday UK time (please see
below for more submission information).
Assessment Details:
Your assessment is to write a 3,500-word report where you identify two or three HRM
challenges in an organisation of your choice and how you as leader could resolve each of
them. This organisation may be where you currently work (for part time MBA students), or
another organisation. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss your choice of
organisation in our seminar sessions.
The report should provide a critical evaluation of the HRM challenges based on your
selected theoretical frameworks (which were taught on the module), prior studies on those
relevant topics, and professional sources. You don’t need to allocate equal words to all of the
challenges, but you will still need to evaluate them.
This module’s class time will provide possible challenges and areas of leadership,
management and development which you may choose to focus. You do not need to cover all
of the topics which will be taught but you must keep to module content. You can use
independent (wider) reading which is directly relevant to those topics.
You will not get “KNOWLEDGE” marks for writing about theories which were not taught in
the module.
If you have chosen to write about your own organisation then please use pseudonyms for
any specific people which you mention. Details for additional support and writing guidance
can be found under the “Support and Guidance” tab of the Minerva page for the Masters of
Business Administration.
By the due date, submit an electronic copy of your assignment through the Turnitin link which
will be created in the Assessment section of this module’s Minerva site. You do NOT need to
submit a paper copy of your assignment.
PLEASE NOTE: Submission through Turnitin constitutes your agreement to abide by the
University’s Plagiarism and Unfair Practice Policy.
