Rationale for Module |
Research into business and management issues
generates information for policy formulation, strategy development and decision-making. The Business Dissertation gives students the opportunity to investigate in depth a topic that interests them. It is an independently conceived and managed piece of work that critically analyses and synthesises theoretical and empirical material. The Business Dissertation identifies and combines academic knowledge and skills to produce a work of practical relevance, with appropriate academic depth and rigour. The dissertation builds on research skills and understanding of methodological issues gained at Level 2 that enable students to carry out and manage independent research. The Dissertation also provides valuable experience in preparing students for comparable work in employment, or postgraduate courses. Finally, it gives an opportunity for students to develop expertise on a particular subject of their choice. |
