Students are advised to read and follow this information.
The purpose of this module is to equip you with the skills and business acumen needed to succeed in your chosen career. The module takes an experiential learning approach and is designed so that you will conduct research, integrate theory and practice, and apply knowledge and skills to develop viable solutions to business problems. You will learn through a process of enquiry, often co-operatively with peers, using digital information and technologies. In short it will develop your ability to think independently, to apply discipline knowledge to complex problems/opportunities, to work in teams (including with academic tutors as well as with each other), to communicate (present and report) and to collaborate to create new knowledge and understanding of contemporary issues within your discipline area.
On completion of the module, you will have enhanced your problem-solving skills and will be able to manage complex problems. By focusing on advanced group and team working skills, research and complex problem-solving skills, project management, communication skills and self-directed learning, you will also be able to demonstrate management, leadership, and professional skills and ability.
The module is summatively assessed through a portfolio of work, which constitutes 100% of the assessment mark (equivalent to 2,500 words plus appendices and
documented evidence). The portfolio will consist of:
- Part A: Poster (individual) – weighted to 35%
- Part B: Client feedback presentation – Virtual presentation (group) with accompanying materials (briefing report/ research as appropriate)– weighted to 40% (10-15 mins)
- Part C: Self and peer assessment exercise including reflection on team working and personal/professional development– weighted to 25% (documented evidence/ feedback examples in appendices do not count to overall wordcount) (1200 words).
Instructions on Assessment:
Further details of each of the tasks will be available via Blackboard. You are advised to start to collect evidence particularly for Part C of the assessment from the start of the module, and to keep a record of key learning and critical incidents, particularly in relation to demonstrating your professional capabilities.
Part A: Individual assessment: This task is designed to enable you to identify and demonstrate understanding of different organisational and legal forms and specifically to identify similarities and differences between investor-owned private enterprise and alternative business models, such as social enterprises. This will support your student group consultation task. You are asked to produce a professional research-style poster comparing and contrasting three different types of organisation. Further details are available via Blackboard. (PRIME WRITINGS: DO NOT DO PART A)
Part B: Virtual/digital presentation – using PowerPoint with voice over (or Panopto or other digital media compatible with University software). This is a team task and will be focused on your subject-specific consultancy/organisation case study project. Each team in your workshop will be provided with a consultancy brief supplied by a social enterprise organisation. You are tasked in your teams to research and analyse data and information to provide robust evidence-based recommendations related to the specific organisational issue/problem. As you will not be able to present your findings directly to the organisation, you will produce a 10-minute client-feedback presentation, which includes overview of your project task and approach to managing and producing results. You will produce additional materials as such as briefing paper (i.e. executive summary), copy of your annotated PowerPoint slides, and supplementary research/evidence and appropriate. Further details will be available via Blackboard, including submission guidelines and including additional materials. More information will be available via Blackboard.

You will consider enquiry- and/or problem-based learning and team-based working in relation to professional skills and competence for future studies (Level 6) and future work (you may relate this to professional standards and competences). As well as the group review class exercises, you are asked to identify a critical incident that has occurred during your team task that you can useful describe, analyse and reflect on to show your learning and practical/ application. You will provide a record of evidence (appendices) may include, for example: a record of attendance and participation (particularly in team activities), project planning evidence for your organisation project/case study and for your digital presentation.
You should include a brief critical review of the importance of inquiry-based learning and reflective practice, including implications for learning and development for future development and career options. You are encouraged to write this reflective report using the personal pronoun ‘I’ to encourage ownership of your learning.
For all tasks, you are expected to provide a range of current relevant academic sources to support your work.
Submission of Assessment:
Electronic Management of Assessment (EMA): Via Blackboard.
It is your responsibility as the student to ensure that you are submitting your final and complete assignment to be marked.
Word limits and penalties for assignments
If the assignment is within +10% of the stated word limit no penalty will apply. The word count is to be declared on the front page of your assignment. The word count does not include:
Title & contents page Quotes from interviews/focus groups (empirical data) Reference list Glossary Appropriate figures & tables Appendices Please note, in text citations [e.g. (Smith, 2011)] and direct secondary quotations [e.g. “dib-dab nonsense analysis” (Smith, 2011 p.123)] are INCLUDED in the word count.
If this word count is falsified, students are reminded that under ARNA page 30 Section 3.4 this will be regarded as academic misconduct.
If the word limit of the full assignment exceeds the +10% limit, 10% of the mark provisionally awarded to the assignment will be deducted. For example: if the assignment is worth 70 marks but is above the word limit by more than 10%, a penalty of 7 marks will be imposed, giving a final mark of 63.
Time limits and penalties for presentations: The time allocated for the presentation must be adhered to. At the end of this time, the presentation will be stopped and will be marked based on what has been delivered within the time limit.
Late submission of work
Where coursework is submitted without approval, after the published hand-in deadline, the following penalties will apply.
For coursework submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval, 10% of the total marks available for the assessment (i.e.100%) shall be deducted from the assessment mark.
For clarity: a late piece of work that would have scored 65%, 55% or 45% had it been handed in on time will be awarded 55%, 45% or 35% respectively as 10% of the total available marks will have been deducted.
The Penalty does not apply to Pass/Fail Modules, i.e. there will be no penalty for late submission if assessments on Pass/Fail are submitted up to 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline.
Coursework submitted more than 1 working day (24 hours) after the published hand-in deadline without approval will be regarded as not having been completed. A mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment and the module will be failed, irrespective of the overall module mark.
For clarity: if the original hand-in time on working day A is 12 noon the 24-hour late submission allowance will end at 12 noon on working day B.
These provisions apply to all assessments, including those assessed on a Pass/Fail basis
