Part B: Marking and Assessment


(to be completed by Module Lecturer)
This assignment will be marked out of 100%

This assignment contributes to 50% of the total module marks.

Assessment Task:

This assignment gives you the opportunity to explore the influence of management and
leadership on the success of business organisations.

We have explored some of the attributes of engineering professionals and seen that
organisations are made up of diverse groups of people. We have seen that organisations require
high level missions and objectives that are delivered through strategies and tactics, and that
managers need to coordinate the activities in line with what the organisation wishes to achieve.
We have seen that one model for this is the open system. These activities are against the
backdrop of a challenging macro and micro business environment.

Using case study examples from engineering organisations, discuss the influence that the
approach to management and leadership have in the success or otherwise of businesses. Is
there a particular method of leadership that is preferable, or is it dependent on the context?
Critique the various leadership theories when applied to different engineering businesses and
the environment that they operate in.

Word count: 3000 words

Remember to engage with theory and literature and critique it as you apply it and develop your
own conclusions from it.

The lecture material gives you areas to explore, and it is go beyond what has been covered in
lectures in your own research.

Remember that you need to ensure that you critique to sufficient depth. You should therefore be
mindful of not attempting to cover too many topics or theories.
