Assessment Two– Structure and further Support

Below is the proposed structure for the report. You may include additional sections and/or sub-sections
if relevant

1. Introduction (Break down the assessment task and give us an understanding that you
understand what you are expected to address in this assessment. DO NOT start with definitions.
You can probably start with something like “The purpose of this assessment task is to ….(read
your assessment brief and take help to write the initial few lines and then give us an idea about
your main argument that you plan to develop and how you have structured your discussion –
give idea of the main sections that will follow the introduction)

2. Leadership and Management (or work groups and teams)

3. Power and Politics (or conflict and negotiation)
4. Organizational Culture (also give an idea about what theory /theories would best explain or
support the cultural context of the organization that you have chosen and best fits your main
argument and why – DO NOT describe all organizational culture theories one after another)
5. Brief overview of your chosen organization (this section may also fit just after your
introduction)
6. How leadership and management (or work groups and teams) and power and politics (or
conflict and negotiation) impact on organizational culture of the chosen organization– make
application of theories (you have had prior discussion of the theories in section 2, 3 and 4) in
this section to make the link between your chosen paired topic and organizational culture.
Remember, in this section your aim will be to synthesize information from section 2, 3 and 4 to
develop arguments and logical conclusions that help establish the links clearly among the
chosen topics and the chosen organization culture. You should bring in examples from your
chosen organization as evidence to support your arguments.
7. Conclusion (step back and think through what comes out of the overall discussion ? What are
the key points emerge? What would you want the reader to remember?)
