Details
Purpose of the assignment
This assignment is designed to get you to identify and analyse
the contextual elements that contribute to the challenge that
the partner organisation faces. You are to present your work in
a business report format. This involves undertaking and
external and internal analysis of the organisation and making
predictions about the future.

Requirements for the assignment

organisation and undertake your own research to find more
relevant information and data.
o Have you got all the data you need? What other data
would be helpful?
 Analyse the information you have collected using
appropriate management tools and theories
o External organisational analysis
o Internal organisational analysis
 Explain how the nature of the challenge is a result of the
combination of external and internal factors that you have
discovered through your research and subsequently re-
define the management challenge as a problem that can be
 solved through the combination of management theory and
practice.
 Write a business report describing the nature of the
challenge through the particular management lens (e.g.,
business development? Corporate strategy? Ethics?
Stakeholders?) that you are viewing the problem.
