07 May WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS DOES THE LITERATURE MAKE?
Recommendations (20 marks)
Again, these must be appropriately supported by the literature*. What recommendations does the literature make? Do they relate to this case? Why or why not?
You may have some of your own. That’s fine but you must acknowledge the ones from the literature. Also, you must make recommendations only for those problems you have identified. Your report must all align – issues, problems, analysis, recommendations and implementation.
Your choice of recommendations demonstrates your understanding of the problems/opportunities to improve. You must convince management to adopt your recommendations (i.e. ‘sell’ them to management).
9. Implementation Plan (10 marks)
Your plan for implementing each of your recommendations should include activities and timelines for each recommendation, and must be plausible. Again, you must convince management to adopt your implementations plan (i.e. ‘sell’ it to them).
10. References (10 marks)
Acknowledgement of sources of information is important. Your report should be supported by the theory and so, references to the literature. These references should be cited appropriately within the context of your report. Further, at the end of your report, you must provide a reference list (using correct APA referencing style). The list must include all references cited in text. Referencing not only shows that you have researched the subject matter, but also that you are not plagarising.
11. Presentation (10 marks)
Grammar, punctuation, expression and presentation must be of a high standard; ‘jackets and ties’ are very important in today’s world of business writing. Also, structure of report, including ‘Table of Contents’, various sections (Executive Summary, Introduction ? Conclusion), and page numbers.

*Using the APA referencing style, you must provide appropriate theoretical support for what you write. That is, you must clearly distinguish between your ideas, other’s ideas adapted to your own, and ideas taken from the literature as verbatim quotations. Literature citations must be relevant, and alphabetically listed (one list only please) in the reference list. There must be less than 20% copying or cut and paste from any source

Extra information for assessment 2 – Individual Research Report (30%)
As an MBA student, you need to master the technique of presenting written business reports which analyse and discuss key business issues. The purpose of this assessment is to provide you with an opportunity:
• to demonstrate critical reading, effective researching and analysis skills;
• to evaluate claims, evidence and arguments;
• to write a report that evaluates a current business issue and effectively communicates this evaluation in a logical, clear and creative way;
• to prepare and present a business report with attention to its various aspects and sections.
As such, you are expected to gather information from textbooks, journals and other academic sources. The authenticity of your information or data is important and you must acknowledge the sources by citing the author(s) in the text of your report and in the reference list toward the end of the report (i.e. before the appendices). Note: Websites are NOT references – so don’t use them.
To contextualise the report, you are to prepare the report for the attention of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Also, format and style are all important. So pay attention to layout, sectioning, structure, persuasiveness, tone, diction, conciseness, and visual and graphic clarity of the report.
