Introduction to the objectives/aims of this report.

GROWTH OPTIONS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR EXPANSION

While analysing the options for growth, organisations consider several factors which include
resources, capabilities and core competence of their orgnaisation, their innovative capabilities to
bring out new products and services as well as using models to identify growth options.

Resources, capabilities and core competence (Evaluation must be evidenced)

Overall, your judgement or your opinion as to which growth option is best for the chosen
organisation and why you are suggesting that as the best option (based on evidence from literature)
must be provided.
Analyse

Essay questions that ask you to ‘analyse’ a particular topic or argument

expect a thorough deconstruction of the essay subject. In other words, this
word requires you to break the essay topic down into its fundamental parts.

Once you have done this, it’s also important that you critically (more on this
word later) examine each part. You need to use important debates and
evidence to look in depth at the arguments for and against, as well as how
the parts interconnect. What does the evidence suggest? Use it to adopt a
stance in your essay, ensuring you don’t simply give a narration on the key
debates in the literature. Make your position known and tie this to the
literature.

Evaluate

When answering this essay question word, the key is to provide your
opinion or verdict concerning the extent to which an argument or set of
research findings is accurate. You may also be required to demonstrate the
extent to which you agree with a particular argument or hypothesis.

It is essential to provide information on both sides of the debate using

evidence from a wide range of academic sources. Then you must state your
position basing your arguments on the evidence that informed you in
arriving at your position.
