·         Identify the management problem and the key issues/symptoms that have led to the problem/opportunity; identify the research question and research objectives.

·          

·         a

·         Summarise the key literature that is directly relevant to your project and the conceptual model you have identified as the most helpful. Provide a few bullet points of explanation under the conceptual model to illustrate its relevance to the project.

·         Use of in-text citations are required (and therefore a Reference List at the end of the presentation). Ensure you have updated your literature review according to feedback provided in assignments 1 & 2.

·         Summary of the research methodology; include relevant references and feedback from assignments 1 & 2.

·         This section was done quite poorly in Task 2, make a stronger presentation of it in Task 3.

·         Present your results in the most meaningful manner possible (e.g., tables, graphs, charts, figures etc.).

·         Briefly explain the results in relation to your research for each table, graph etc.  It is not adequate to simply include a table or graph that is not explained. The explanation can be done with a few bullet points below each table, graph etc. regarding the meaning and relevance of the most important results from the data.  

·         Provide a suitable title for each figure and include sources/references where necessary.

·         Ensure you match the results against each of the research objectives. (The research objectives may have changed from assignment 2, if so: simply note on the PPT the reasons that you made the changes.)

·         Describe the limitations to your research and possible directions for future research on this research topic.

·         Identify the recommendations and outline key points about the major ones.

·         Identify any implications for managers that may arise from the recommendations such as potential costs, time frames, staffing issues, policy and political issues etc.

·         Reference List (approx. 2-4 slides).

Check both in-text citations and the Reference List against the Harvard Quick Guide which is on the Learning Materials section of the BlackBoard site for the course. Be particularly careful with website citations – never include the URL on the PPT. The Quick Guide shows how to do in-text citations of company websites, government reports etc. and include them in the Reference List.

·         Standard of written English (communication)

The standard of written English expression, in general, needs to be improved from assignments 1 & 2. It is recommended that students print their assignment before submission and read it aloud to check for expression errors which can be easily fixed. At the minimum, use Spellcheck to avoid common mistakes in written English.
