Your task is the following: Drawing on knowledge developed within this module, your own experience and wider reading, you are requested to compose an essay of 3500 words in which you critically engage and address the following aspects of the job:

  1. Explain how you would lead your organization. In doing so you are expected to explore relevant theories of leadership that you would consider to arrive at

in critical examination about how these concepts are written about and applied in today’s business and management context. In your analysis, you should aim to compare and contrast between theories/perceptions/approaches etc. In the process, you will consider highlighting similarities and differences in the arguments developed, evaluate the value and contribution and suitability of theories/approaches in your context.

Assessment Criteria Your essay will be marked according to the following criteria:- 1) Understanding and Reading: The depth of your reading (number, range and quality of sources) and understanding of it. You are expected to read the essential and further readings for the question that you choose. You need to use these readings to support your argument/discussion; you cannot rely on personal opinion or unsupported statements. Avoid statements like – in my own opinion. 2) Critical Analysis: The level of critical analysis in your writing and the quality of the argument developed. You cannot rely on simple description, but have to apply knowledge and theory from the readings to critically engage with the material. Question theories and assumptions on the basis of your experience, an alternative theory or events in the business world. Note the difference between descriptive writing – just providing information and critical writing – making judgements, evaluating, arguing and suggesting alternatives while accepting compelling facts/views/events.
  • Always put quotes in quotation marks and indent quotes of significant length so they stand out from the rest of the text. This marks them as not your own words.
  • Always acknowledge the source within the text and in full within the bibliography at the end.
  • HOWEVER: It is not OK to copy and paste as long as you cite the source. You still need to express the information in your own words.
  • Where paraphrasing an individual always acknowledge them as the source of the ideas.
  • Do not leave your work until the last minute, in order to avoid panic plagiarism. Reading: Assignment Sources Use of internet:  Some are useful but most are useless. It is recommended to use the readings – books, academic journals and recommended websites.  On-line library databases such as Search Bank, EBSCO, Proquest, Infotrac, and EMERALD. (http://www.library.dmu.ac.uk) are good There is at least one copy held in the library of the books listed in the reading list, although in some cases there may be very few copies. There is a copy of the journal articles referred to below on the BlackBoard site for this module for you to download or print-off. Start with the reading list and textbooks from this module listed on the online resource list. Textbook chapters have a list of further sources and references which you can consult. If you look for further materials, stick to journals that relate to HRM, OB and employment relations. You need to be able to provide support for all your points in your essay. There is no specific number of references to be included. It all depends on your specific essay and how you are developing arguments.
