Principles of Responsible Management Assignment
Description;
You are required to write an individual management report which critically evaluates the most significant component(s) of a chosen organisation’s behavior or operations. The issues arising from these behaviours or operations should be regarded as contentious. Make sensible recommendations about actions that could be implemented to address these issues in a positive manner, using examples of companies that have, to some extent, implemented these positive measures to gain competitive advantage. This submission should be anonymised: You must submit your work using your student number to identify yourself, not your name. You must not use your name in the text of the work at any point. When you submit your work in Turnitin you must submit your student number within the assignment document and in the Submission title field in Turnitin.
Word Limit 2,500 words, + / – 10% (you will be penalized if your work goes below or above the 10% margin)
Suggested approach:
1.Select an organisation of your choice to be the subject of the report.
The organisation chosen should be one that has experienced issues in the past as a result of irresponsible management practices and /or is currently experiencing such issues. Make sure you introduce the organisation and set the context for the report in the introduction.
2. Identify the behaviours or operations attributable to this organisation, either currently or in the past, that could be regarded as contentious.
3. Discuss how, if at all, these negative behaviours have impacted upon the firm in terms of reputation, customer response and profitability.
4. Contrast these behaviours with examples of organisations who have behaved in a more responsible manner, particularly in relation to the competitive advantage gained.
5. Make recommendations for your chosen organisation’s future behaviour to address the issues identified.
6. All work must be fully referenced in line with the Harvard system using reputable academic sources. You should also use relevant theory to structure and support your arguments and please ensure that your real-world examples are drawn from credible resources.
