Managing Under Uncertainty/Assignment GSBS6001 GSBS6001 Managing Under Uncertainty/Assignment 3: Personal Case Reflection 1. GSBS6001 Assignment 3: Personal Case Reflection (weighting 40%) Assignment Task In this assignment, you are asked to engage in critical reflection of a personal decision making situation. You are required to select one significant or critical decision that YOU have made (i.e., YOU are the decision maker) recently in the workplace. If you have limited workplace experience, you may use a personal decision making situation in another context. However, if you choose to do so, please consult the lecturer to ensure that you select an appropriate decision for this assignment. You are required to analyze the decision using the relevant theories, models, frameworks we discussed in this course throughout the trimester. You are also asked to critically discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this decision. Finally, the assessment requires the proposal of recommendations on how you might have dealt with these issues, if you had been exposed to the academic theories, models and frameworks covered in this course, at that time. Understanding the task: What do you need to do? 1. Executive Summary summarizes the key points of the analysis, critical discussion and recommendations made. (Up to 1 page; NOT included in the 2,000 words count) 2. Introduction of the decision situation you are going to analyze in the report. In this section, you should explain the context of the decision: (1) what decision was made? (2) what factors influenced the decision? (3) what was the outcome of the decision? (approximately 200 words) 3. Analysis of the decisions in terms of relevant theories, models and frameworks. In completing this task, you should identify AT LEAST TWO critical perspectives to approach the decision you are analyzing (see Assignment 3 List of Theories). You may analyze the decisions from any of the perspectives we discussed in this course throughout the trimester. (approximately words 800 words) 4. Critical discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the decisions. You will need to assess and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses (or advantages and disadvantages) of your decision making using relevant theories and models. (approximately words 400 words) 5. Recommendations of what you could have done to improve your decision making, if you have been exposed to the theories, models and frameworks discussed in this course. In making recommendations, you should refer to key points of your analysis and critical discussion to justify what should be done differently in the future (i.e., how to address the weaknesses and how to continue to improve aspects that are already strong or effective). It is important that you include references to further theories and models to support and justify your recommendations. (approximately words 600 words) Note that you should have at least 8-10 references for this assignment. No table of content is needed in this assignment.
