Assignment Brief
The Task
The focus of this assignment is the critical evaluation of business responsibility and sustainability related topics.
Your task is to select ONE of the following topics and write a critical essay of    2,000 words (maximum word limit will be + 10% of 2000 words).

Topic:
“Managing CSR in global companies is complex and requires an integrated approach”. Critically evaluate this statement.

After you have selected the topic which you want to review you need to do the following:
•    Critically review its conceptualisation by using related academic and practitioner literature.
•    Discuss the practice-based implications of the selected topic for the operations of business organisations

Specific Guidelines

The assignment should be written in an essay format and should contain the following:
•    A brief overview of no more than 100 words which highlights the topic selected (these 100 words in the ‘overview’ are not counted towards the 2000 word limit)
•    Critical review of topic (see guidance below)
•    A reference list (A minimum of 10 references have to be used – ranging from journal articles, practitioner articles, text books and online materials) – the words in the list of references are not counted towards the 2000 word limit)

Your critical review of topic should contain the following:-
1. Review of Literature – you need to engage in a detailed and comprehensive review of academic and practitioner literature related to the selected topic. This should be indicated by using references and in-text citations within the essay. Use of literature beyond those suggested in your module reading list is expected.
2. Critical analysis of the topic – you must examine the topic critically by identifying either an argument for, or against it, or by analysing diverse connotations of the topic. This critical analysis should be most evident in the discussion of the practice-based implications of the topic to business organisations.
