Assignment title: Management


Assessment The module is a standard-type module, with two components of assessment. Component A is a presentation of a model. Component B is an individual report of maximum 2500 words. The two components A and B are weighted 1:2. You need to get a minimum of 40% in each component and a minimum of 50% overall to pass the module. Presentation The Examination will be a presentation of a poster containing key themes from your coursework and designed to give a high level briefing to management. The presentation will last 8-10 minutes during which time you should convey your main messages to the assessors. You must design a model capable of guiding experienced private sector client/procurers of large projects towards making decisions about the appropriateness of procurement-related choices. The model should promote best practice in a discriminating and responsive way whilst making assumptions on the client's sophistication and appetite for engagement. Where best practice ideas are being promoted the model should also give consideration as to their effective use. The model should provide for: • Private clients with construction experience of large projects • Options which gauge the client's receptiveness and state of readiness to embrace new practices within procurement. • Examines procurement choice based on factors wider than standard cost/quality/time criteria • Explore which elements of government best practice could enhance the client's experience • Promote the adoption of best practice through recommendations which differ depending on the client's particular characteristics. • Recommend legal safeguards and initiatives aimed at protecting or enhancing the client's position with regards the supply chain Students physically attending UWE must submit a paper version of the model in a format large enough for them to present to two assessors posing as clients. On-line students must submit a Kaltura recording of their presentation. N.B. Specific mention of initiatives and material discussed in class and in on-line discussion groups is a measure of participation which is an assessed criteria for the model.
