Order: Report

Words count: 2 x 3150 words each => total: around: 6300 words

Order details:

Task Objective: The objectives of this task are to enable students to apply their learning on Business & Sustainability course notes, and wider reading, to develop skills which will enable them to assimilate a depth of literature which they can critically review and report on sustainable business practices in organizations. It will also develop deeper analytical and practical skills on the application and reporting of the Sustainable Development Goals in organizations.

Task Details: Literature Review and Organization Report Compare and contrast organizations in terms of their Sustainability/CSR activities, performance, reporting and communications. Make particular reference to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): are they identified by the organizations, if yes give details and review, and if not, where could they explicitly connect their activities to the SDGs.

Choose two or more organizations with plenty of information available. They may be very similar or very different in their business activities. You may include your own organization or ones which are in your area of work/interest/locality, if you wish. Use the organizations’ own sources e.g. a sustainability sections on websites, reports or similar, as well as publicly available information, trusted third party sources.

Write a report with a clear structure: – Introduction – Main Body – Conclusions and Recommendations – References

Introduction: Include in the introduction a brief explanation on why you selected these particular organizations. What do they have in common or how do they differ (sector/size/structure etc). Why is this theme/topic of special interest? Provide a link to the relevant pages on various the organizations’ websites.

Main Body: The main body of the report should be in three sections: 1. Literature review on theme of sustainability in organizations 2. Evaluation of activities and performance 3. Reporting and communications

1. Literature review: Write a review on the theme of Sustainability/CSR/SDG management in organizations. Introduce a topic/topics of particular interest to you and/or of relevance to the organizations you have chosen (environmental management, certification, CSR, communications, challenges/barriers, critical success factors, engagement etc).
Structure your review with an introduction, key headings, conclusions. Use course materials, textbooks and peer reviewed articles. Ensure that you reference all material correctly and use the Harvard Referencing System. References should be listed at the end of the report.

2. Evaluation of activities and performance: Outline and evaluate the CSR/Sustainability/SDG activities and performance in each of your chosen organizations. How do they define sustainability/corporate responsibility? What systems are employed? Who is responsible?

Provide a summary of the main activities; highlight strong points, weaknesses unusual or interesting activities. – How do they differ? What do they have in common? – What is successful and what is not? What are the strengths and weaknesses – What are the common or differing drivers of activities and the success factors? – Regarding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): are they identified by the organizations, if yes give details and review, and if not, where could they explicitly connect their activities to the SDGs.

Link and connect this section to your literature review. Is it what you expect from the literature or different?

3. Reporting and communications: How are CSR/Sustainability/SDGs reported and communicated (reports, websites, social media, marketing)? Look at what information is, and is not, provided. Is it a true reflection of activities and performance? In order to aid your reading of reports, the following guidelines are useful: United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress (COP) https://www.unglobalcompact.org/participation/report/cop Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): https://www.globalreporting.org Corporate Register Reporting Awards (CRRA): http://www.corporateregister.com/crra/help/crrahelp.html

Conclusions and Recommendations: Based on your evaluation of the different organizations, your reading on the subject including the course materials and your literature review, write conclusions and recommendations for organizations based on your analysis the success factors. – What can the organizations do differently? – How can they improve? How can they better integrate the SDGS? – What are the distinguishing success factors/impeders? – What can other organizations learn? – Key recommendations

References: Ensure that you reference all material and sources correctly including websites.

Appendices: You may use appendices to present large volumes of data, tables etc which are too cumbersome to include in the main body or which may unduly add to the word count but which provide useful and relevant information nonetheless.

Images, Figures and Tables: These add value to reports and aid reading and are not included in the word count.

Part 1 – You should prepare a 1200 word report on the topic of the effectiveness of work and organization at Tesla.

Your task is to research the effectiveness of work and organization at Tesla using good quality academic and journalistic sources. Please see the links below:

Spotlight on Tesla culture

Leadership at Tesla

Employees at Tesla

You should consider a range of views and seek to integrate them into a coherent argument. This may be informed by good quality journalistic sources but, more importantly, you must also show considerable evidence of using good quality ‘peer reviewed’ journal articles.

The key topics which you should include in your report on the effectiveness of work and organization at Tesla are:

  1. organizational context
  • The impact of globalization.
  1. The whole organization
  • The rational and social organization,
  • Power and politics
  • Governance, organizational Culture and organizational leadership
  1. Groups and Teams
  • Groups and teams
  1. The Individual Level
  • Motivation and job design

You will not need to draw on all organizational behaviour theories that you read but should select instead those which are most applicable to Tesla. It is more important to show knowledge of key debates within the literature on organizational behaviour, to be critical in your writing and to ensure a good level of integration and coherence than to include all theories. Please work on the level of criticality and the coherence and flow of your report. This will require effective discussion and debate.

Part 2 – Reflection on group work (900 words)

In part 2 you should write a 900 word reflection on your experience of group work. This would ideally be based on your experiences as a group member in this module within seminars but could include a consideration of group activities in other modules or in work experience. Do not just describe your experience of working in a group but situate your reflection within the wider literature on groups and teams.

To assist you with this you should use a theory of reflective practice such as Kolb’s learning cycle. Themes that you may explore include:

  • Difference between a group and a team
  • Team roles
  • Balance of team roles
  • Stages of group formation
  • Asch effect and Groupthink
  • Group dynamics, including unconscious group dynamics
  • Were you a pseudo team? Potential team? Real team? High performance team?
  • Leadership of the team

The emphasis should be on a critical evaluation, not on self-promotion. Try to identify strengths and weaknesses, and areas for personal development informed by the literature on groups and teams.

Part 3 – Personal Reflections on Employment (900 words)

You should write a reflection on what you have learned about the nature of employment in undertaking the People and Organizations module. In this reflection, you should make reference to any organizational behaviour literature that is relevant. You may address the following key themes in your analysis.

  1. What types of organization would most engage and motivate you? Why would you be more productive in these organizations? Compare and contrast with other organizations where you would be less engaged and productive. You might in your reflections draw on the literature on leadership, classical, human relations and contemporary approaches to organizational behaviour, culture, motivation, or teamwork.
  2. You might also reflect on how the literature on identity, personality and emotions relate to your experience of work
  3. What are your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to employment?
  4. How will you address your weaknesses? What targets will you set for your development?

Note that a significant amount of the marks are awarded on the basis of wider reading, referencing, academic integrity and academic writing conventions. Please read the assessment criteria below:
