5 Submission and Deadlines

6 Length
In terms of effort, I expect a 3,000 word written report (6 to 8 page report).The 3000 word
target includes headings, main text, references, annexes, tables, charts and any other
additional elements.
The assignment should be written in a business-style report format rather than following a
typical academic essay format. I expect to find, above else, good coverage of the key areas
based on sound/logical business arguments. I also expect to find evidence on the use of
references/ bibliography. Because this module is part of an MBA Programme, I expect students
to use tables, charts and other visual elements to supporttheir views and analyses, since these
are common practicein all business environments.
7 Writing the Assignment
The assignment should follow a certain structure, containing, at least, five important parts:1. Introduction
2. Objectives
3. Analyses
4. Addressing the key areas
5. Conclusions
References and Bibliography
