Learning Outcomes:

1 & 3

Description of the assessment

This is a reflection report of 1,500 words written on a given template which asks you to reflect on your learning from the formative tasks, activities and exercises which you have undertaken over the early part of the module. It is therefore vital that you engage with and undertake the activities you are asked to do so that you have something to reflect on.

Specific details of this assessment are given in the Assessment Content below.

Relationship to Programme Assessment Strategy

These formative activities replicate and allow you to practice what you will need to do for the second assessment. Additionally, the feedback you receive from this first assessment can be used to feed into and enhance your second assessment.

Reflecting on your learning is part of the programme assessment strategy for all the programmes to which the module is attached. This allows you to describe what you have done, consider the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of those actions and decide how you might use these in the future.

Assessment Content

Over the first few weeks of the module, you will be asked to undertake a variety of formative activities before and during the workshops in which you will apply appropriate models, frameworks and/or theories to develop and build your knowledge and skills of creating a valuable ‘Born Global’ business opportunity. These activities will replicate and help you practice what you will have to do as part of CW2 (the 10 min video).

As a consequence of these activities, reflect on the following question, ensuring you critically evaluate how you applied appropriate models, frameworks and/or theories (but excluding PESTLE, SWOT or Porter’s Five Forces) as part of your reflection:

What did you do in the formative activities, what did you learn from these formative activities and the subsequent feedback, and how will you apply this learning in your CW2 submission, and in the future beyond that?

This assessment will be 1,500 words +/- 10% and a standard template will be provided for you to use for this report. You will need to:

· Work individually.

· Use Harvard referencing throughout the report, as appropriate.

· Decide which formative activities or elements of these activities you wish to reflect on – do not try to cover everything as you will not have enough words to go into the necessary depth.

· Ensure you reflect on the above question to fully answer the brief. Reflections which are overly general, generic and/or do not address the formative activities undertaken will have this fact taken into consideration during marking.

Please see separate document for CW1 Critical Evaluation and Reflection Report Template 2024-25.

Title Page

Executive Summary

Contents Page

Introduction (to report)

Situational Analysis​ of Case Study Organisation showing appropriate, logical analysis of secondary data including industry trends and leading to 
Problem​ Identification – a raising of the various issues identified by the situational analysis.  Your primary data collection could go here to support the problem identification with (for example) customer or stakeholder views/input.

Possibilities (Options)​ – showing awareness that there are a number of possible approaches.  This section would include an assessment of the various approaches and justification for the approach chosen.  Students should choose an appropriate model/theory (CBA, Business Case, SAF) to assess the options.  This section could also include primary data, showing how it contributed to the selection of the appropriate project.  Risk Assessment and Stakeholder Analysis may also feature here as tools to justify the approach taken.

Specific Project – Explanation of the overall project including the Detailed Plan of Action (use of appropriate tools or the principles of the appropriate tools – WBS, CPA, Gantt chart, Resource Planning charts).  This section would include aim and objectives, risk assessment, stakeholder analysis, and a detailed plan of action to enable the organisation to understand exactly what action is required.
