Dr. David Holliman

External Examiner and Institution: Dr Christopher Miller, University of South Wales

Every module has a Module Definition Form (MDF) which is the officially validated record of the module. You can access the MDF for this module in three ways via:

• The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) • The My.Anglia Module Catalogue at www.anglia.ac.uk/modulecatalogue • Anglia Ruskin’s module search engine facility at www.anglia.ac.uk/modules • The final section of this module guide

All modules delivered by Anglia Ruskin University at its main campuses in the UK and at Associate Colleges throughout the UK and overseas are governed by the Academic Regulations. You can view these at www.anglia.ac.uk/academicregs. An extract of the Academic Regulations, known as the Assessment Regulations, is available at this website too (all new students will have received a printed copy as part of their welcome pack).

In the unlikely event of any discrepancy between the Academic Regulations and any other publication, including this module guide, the Academic Regulations, as the definitive document, take precedence over all other publications and will be applied in all cases.

2. Introduction to the Module

Sustainable management is an overarching term that generally refers to the ethical, responsible, innovative, 'daring to care' form of management. The module traces the development of our current ideas on sustainable management including three main connected dimensions: the discussion of ethical issues and theoretical frameworks relevant for both individuals and organisations; an overview of the ideas concerning corporate social responsibility; and the exploration of the concept of sustainability, including respect for people, for the environment and concern for economic prosperity. Throughout the module, a critical approach to the different elements will be included. We expect that the discussion on ethical concepts and values will equip students to critically evaluate the conduct of individuals, stakeholder groups and organisations themselves, as well as the policy prescriptions of governmental authorities and corporate governance.

3. Intended Learning Outcomes

This module, like all modules at Anglia Ruskin, is taught on the basis of achieving intended learning outcomes. On successful completion of the module, the student will be expected to be able to demonstrate the learning outcomes mentioned.

5.1. Assessment Information and Marking Criteria

When writing your report, please pay very close attention to all of the assessment information and marking criteria provided in the Module Guide.

Element 010 – Written Assignment – 3,000 words - 100%

Critically evaluate a corporation of your choosing from the perspective(s) of business ethics, corporate social responsibility and / or sustainability using two contrasting conceptual or theoretical approaches. Write a 3,000 word report on your evaluation.

You are advised to choose a corporation early on in the module and work on your report week-by-week, gathering information and applying the various concepts and theories as you learn them.

Discuss your choice of corporation with your seminar tutor. Corporations in the following industries / sectors should provide rich cases for your analysis, but you can choose other sectors:

• Tobacco industry; • Oil industry; • Car industry; • Domestic and personal electronics, including computing and mobile devices; • High street retailer of food, clothes or electronics.

Your critical evaluation must be from the perspective(s) of business ethics, corporate social responsibility and / or sustainability. For your analysis, select two contrasting conceptual or theoretical approaches.

The range of material you analyse could include information provided by the corporation (e.g. sustainability / social / CSR policies and reports) as well as information about the corporation. e.g. stories in the media, including specific incidents (scenarios) the corporation has been involved in. However, you must conduct your own analysis of the material. You might choose to apply two alternative analytical approaches to the same material and discuss differences between the outcomes.

• Title page • Contents page; • Abstracts; • Indented quotations (of more than 50 words); • Tables; • Figures; • Diagrams; • Footnotes/end notes used for reference purposes and kept within reasonable limits; • List of references and/or bibliography; • Appendices

5.2 Submitting your work

All student work which contributes to the eventual outcome of the module (i.e. if it determines whether you will pass or fail the module and counts towards the mark you achieve for the module) is submitted according to your institutions guidelines. Academic staff CANNOT accept work directly from you.

Any late work will NOT be accepted and a mark of zero will be awarded for the assessment task in question.

You are requested to keep a copy of your work (excluding exams).

5.3 Feedback

You are entitled to feedback on your performance for all your assessed work. For all assessment tasks which are not examinations, this is accomplished by a member of academic staff providing your mark and associated comments which will relate to the achievement of the module’s intended learning outcomes and the assessment criteria you were given for the task when it was first issued.

The marker of your assignment will include feedback on written assignments that includes answers to these three key questions:

1. What is your overall feedback? 2. How does your assignment compare to the marking criteria? 3. How can you improve in the future?

London School of Marketing (LSM) is committed to providing you with feedback on all assessed work within 20 working days of the moderation deadline. This is extended to 30 days for feedback for a Major Project module (please note that working days excludes those days when LSM is officially closed; e.g.: between Christmas and New Year). Personal tutors will offer to read feedback from several modules and help you to address any common themes that may be emerging.

On occasion, you will receive feedback and marks for work that you completed in the earlier stages of the module. We provide you with this feedback as part of the learning experience and to help you prepare for other assessment tasks that you have still to complete. It is important to note that, in these cases, the marks for these pieces of work are unconfirmed. This means that, potentially, marks can change, in either direction!

Marks for modules and individual pieces of work become confirmed on the Dates for the Official Publication of Results which can be checked at www.anglia.ac.uk/results.

http://www.anglia.ac.uk/results
5.4 Re-Assessment Information

Critically evaluate a corporation of your choosing from the perspective(s) of business ethics, corporate social responsibility and/or sustainability using two contrasting conceptual or theoretical approaches. Write a 3,000 word report on your evaluation.

The instructions and guidance and marking criteria for the re-assessment are the same as for the original assignment. Please pay very careful attention to this information.

For the re-assessment you MUST choose a DIFFERENT CORPORATION.
