Additional Guidelines on the Report

This accounts for 50% of the marks.   These marks will be distributed as follows:

“Include evidence of the impact technology has made, or potentially could make, on your chosen company and industry sector.”

• Looking at past events, and how your chosen company and industry sector has responded. Specifically, you need to include the impact of technology.
• Looking at the present situation, how is technology shaping the strategic environment?
• Now look to the future. How do you think your chosen company may exploit technology to improve or maintain its current strategic position?

Each of these will attract 10% – 30% in total

“Include your assessment of any ethical, social, legal or professional issues that may have resulted from these technological changes, or may result in the future”

• Another 10% is available for your coverage of these issues. They should not be included under a separate heading. They will be allocated as additional marks to the above where students have included these issues.

“Critically analyse your chosen company and industry sector drawing on correctly referenced, supportive evidence obtained from your research.”

• 5% has been allocated to the selection and use of appropriate research sources within the report.

Lastly, a further 5% has been allocated for the professional structure, presentation and writing style.
