PFA the Presentation on the basis of whoch this report would be written, Following is the briefing for the group report: The focus of this report should be on the group members’ personal and considered reflections on the outcomes of their group’s presentation in the light of tutor feedback. It is meant to add a significant extra dimension or dimensions to the presentation material and the work originally produced by the group. It is intended to include personal reflections on the success (or not) of the group decision-making process, and a critique (to some extent at least) of the decisions originally made by the group, and especially the strategic ones. The students (in a group) could, for instance, decide that different or additional target country(s) might be an improvement. They could also include additional, or even alternative, analyses that might involve new aspects of theory or different conceptual frameworks. Whatever happens, students within a specific group are meant to give the original group work a thorough review and look for possible improvements. Some make the mistake of not actually explaining what the group did previously at all, though from the word count perspective, it will always be a ‘balancing act’ between doing that and inserting additional reflections and improvements. So, just as all your group members made a contribution to the presentation, so all your group members must now also make a contribution to the final GROUP report. But, there should be just one hard copy submitted to SAC (put all your names on the cover sheet, please), and just one copy only (in the name of your group) put through Turnitin. The task is to thoroughly review EVERYTHING that was done before in the presentation, and so, of course, individual group members will have ideas on this (reflections), but all these should be discussed in the group and any further amendments agreed democratically. So, be very clear, the final report is NOT just a collection of individual pieces of work, but is one piece of work (based on the flow and sequence of the presentation slides) to which all group members have made a contribution, and to which all group members have had an opportunity to add or to edit. The ultimate aim is to develop further the good ideas you might have had already for the presentation, but work on these, and add some more ideas and improvements as far as possible. Don’t forget to put in some of the diagrams from the slides (preferably in the main text), as you still need these for key areas, and they do not add to the word count. The word limit for this report is 3500 words, +10%. Key Guidelines 1. The word count for your written report excludes the list of references and appendices. Please note also that any group abusing or ignoring the word limit for this assignment may be penalized. The extent of the penalty will depend on what exactly the group has done (i.e. in a range of 10%-25%), and its application will form part of the normal marking process. 2. Your critical analysis needs to be coherent, with clear, logical explanation and reasoned commentary. It also needs to be well developed and thorough, and not just descriptive and superficial. 3. The format of the report should normally include a Title Page (with word count), List of Contents, Main Analysis, Conclusions, References and Appendices. Also, it should be in 12 point Times Roman or Arial font. It should be as clearly expressed as possible in correct English, and careful punctuation and appropriate use of paragraphs should always be used. This will help you to present your work to best effect. 4. A full list of references of all sources (whether academic or industry-based) must appear at the end of your group report. Please follow the Harvard referencing pro-forma on Blackboard and the current University Guide (available in racks opposite the SAC). Members of your group must not copy material directly from any source word for word without acknowledgement, and neither must they paraphrase material from any source (academic or otherwise) without acknowledgment. To do so is ‘plagiarism’, which is a serious academic
