Assessment 2: MBA

Module – Performing in Organization

Written Case Study

You will be required to complete a case study which details a needs analysis of your own career and an
action plan to improve your psychological approach and performance in an organisation.

The plan will focus on how you can improve your psychological approach and performance in an
organisation. If appropriate you may wish to outline how your improvement could impact others. For
example, if the plan is around your work as a leader that it will have an impact on those you manage.
Even if you do not have any line management roles then you will likely interact with a number of
colleagues and so any improvement may have an impact on those interactions. So, in brief, the benefits
of the plan need not be confined to you.
