Include brief relevant background information – why is the question an important one, what ‘knowledge gap(s)’ are in play, how is your essay structured?
Main body of the Report (organised in three main sections – 75-80% of word length – 1800-2000 words)
Theoretical background/Literature Review
Establish the theories underpinnings your report by setting out the main contributions and arguments from key academic commentators (i.e., provide a short but focused literature review). Demonstrate some breadth of reading here – use the suggested core and additional readings from the unit guide as a basis for your review.
Empirical Evidence
Here you should introduce your case firm/MNE/examples and set-out on the development of your arguments. Present and draw upon relevant case study materials and other appropriate forms of evidence and commentary (these might include, for example, firm, industry and sector statistics, business reports, corporate annual reports etc.). Use data and evidence to build and support your ideas/arguments, and to highlight examples of theory in real-world practice. You should aim to explain the relevance (to the subject area and your line of thought) of any examples that you use.
Data Analysis, Interpretation and Discussion
This section provides an opportunity for you to expand upon your argument by analyzing and interpreting relevant data, evidence and commentary. Here you should compare various competing strands of argumentation (where relevant), and provide a structured, evidence-based discussion of your thoughts and findings with respect to the topic at hand. Also, consider here, how your ideas relate to (or are informed by) the theory and literature discussed in earlier sections.
Conclusion (10-15% of word length – 300-400 words)
This section should include short concluding remarks – refer back to the question and focus on (a) how you have addressed this, and (b) the main points and messages that emerge from your work. You may wish to summarise and highlight key findings, evaluate approaches and positions, or suggest alternatives and options with respect to policy, strategy or management.
