Using a cu
ent and relevant scenario, students will be required to prepare a structured report based on questions directly related to learning outcomes.
(Equivalent to 2,500 words)
Overview of your task
For your third assessment first, you need to conduct a literature review which involves reviewing, evaluating, and synthesising sources to gain an overview of the area you are reviewing. For our purposes we are looking at the area of project leadership and we define 3 specific research questions for you to address (choose one out of the three). Note that literature reviews can take different forms, and in this context, the primary objective of the literature review is to present an argument, a clear articulation of your arguments to the research question based on a review of the relevant literature.
Your goal is to write a review that clearly describes the research question and summarises previous related works. On the basis of this review you are to present an argument that is a clear articulation of your own position in relation to the literature.
You will be provided a choice of 3 research questions as follows and must select ONE of them.
1. What factors may contribute to effective and ineffective leadership in projects?
Structuring your report
Your report should be structured as follows (with your literature sources integrated into the text and argument):
· Title page with mention of the chosen research question, your name and student ID
· Abstract (a concise summary of your paper that helps the reader understand why the paper has been written)
· Introduction: Background and Key concepts of the chosen topic
· Body: Literature Review on the topic (analysis, arguments for and against in the cu
ent literature and a clear articulation of your own arguments)
· Recommendation and Conclusion
· Harvard Reference List (at least 10 sources)
This assessment is to be submitted to Moodle by 11:59pm Sunday Week 9.
