Coursework Brief:
Component 1 of the module assessment is to Conduct a Macro-environmental analysis of a selected organisation. Based on this analysis you are to identify the key strategic issues that your organisation is facing.
A number of academic references are provided for you to use as a starting point for you to start your research. These are located in week 2 of the module materials. All students should read chapter’s 1, 2 and 4 of the recommended textbook prior to starting the assessment. Lecture 2 should also be reviewed as well. A recoding of this is available on MyBeckett.
