ASB 4426 Contemporary Issues in Management Assignment.

ASB 4426 Contemporary Issues in Management Assignment, Bangor Business School - Bangor University, UK

The individual assignment is an individual written 2,000 word report, in which students are expected to apply theoretical and analytical frameworks as a basis for critical reflection on personal experiences of, and dilemmas faced in, contemporary management and organizations. Students may choose their own topic, in order that they are able to reflect on their own experience. Typical topics might be in one of the following areas: technology and environment, strategy, change, working with diversity and across cultures, leadership, organizational structure, learning, innovation e.g. open innovation, social innovation, team working, gender and management, social media and networking.

A couple of things to bear in mind:

1. This module is called `Contemporary Issues in Management`. Your focus must then be on `Issues` that are `Contemporary` and have to do with `Management` and/or `Leadership`.

2. You are supposed to reflect on your own experience:

a. If you have been a manager, this should present no problems.

b. If you have not been a manager, but do have work experience, you should be able to find a topic that you can discuss from the perspective of an employee.

c. If you have neither been a manager nor an employee in an organization, then you need to take a more theoretical approach.
