Leading Through Digital Change (CW1)
The Leading Through Digital Change (CW1) assessment is a summative coursework assignment for MSc Management programmes at BPP University Business School. The assessment accounts for 100% of the module marks, with a minimum of 50% required to pass. Students must submit the assessment through Turnitin and follow the Harvard Referencing System. The coursework consists of a 1,500-word business report together with an A4-size poster. The assessment requires the student to act as a Digital Transformation Consultant responsible for coordinating technology expertise within an organisation. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) requires a Digital Transformation Report and Poster that evaluate and recommend changes designed to maintain competitive advantage and create business value. Students must select one organisation from the options provided in the assessment brief: Tata Motors, Meezan Bank Limited, Hulu, or Puma SE. Part 1 addresses the Digital Transformation Strategic Framework and is linked to Learning Outcome 1. The student must critically review and propose one appropriate digital transformation framework for the selected organisation. The brief specifies that one framework should be used from McKinsey 4Ds, BCG 3 Stages, Gartner's 6 Steps or Cognizant's 4 Pillars. The section should also include digital transformation objectives supporting areas such as operations, ICT and marketing. Part 2 addresses Future Digital Trends and Learning Outcome 2. Students must design a poster evaluating two disruptive technologies or techniques likely to affect the smartphone industry, employment and the labour market over the next five years. Suggested technologies include Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, 5G Connectivity, Internet of Things, Robotics, Drone Delivery, Blockchain, and Augmented or Virtual Reality. Academic literature and real-life examples should support the discussion. Part 3 addresses Digital Leadership Recommendations and Learning Outcome 3. Students must analyse and propose two appropriate digital leadership styles that the selected organisation should develop to effectively manage and support digital transformation. The brief identifies possible approaches including hyperaware agile leadership, ethical-tech leadership, people-oriented leadership, agile leadership and Goleman's six leadership styles, while allowing other relevant approaches. The required report structure includes the BPP University administration cover sheet, table of contents, list of abbreviations where appropriate, introduction, Part 1, Part 2 (Poster), Part 3, conclusion, references and appendix where required. The main business report is limited to 1,500 words, while the poster has no separate word limit but must fit on A4 paper. The report must be written in the third person, use professional formatting, include page numbers, correctly label tables and figures, and use Harvard in-text citations and references. The marking criteria emphasise critical evaluation rather than simple description. Higher performance requires evidence of extensive personal research, critical analysis of digital transformation frameworks, emerging technologies and leadership approaches, supported by academic literature and real-world examples. The rubric also expects strong links between the organisation's technological challenges, transformation objectives, disruptive technologies and proposed leadership approaches.

Creative Marketing Plan for a Product Gap in the Smart Wearable Device Industry
This individual coursework requires students to develop a creative marketing plan for a new product concept within the smart wearable device industry. The assessment is a 2,000-word individual written report and accounts for 100% of the coursework assessment. Students are required to identify an existing product gap in the smart wearable device market, create a unique product concept that addresses the identified gap and develop a creative marketing plan designed to position the proposed product effectively in an increasingly competitive market. The central focus of the assignment is the application of innovative thinking and strategic marketing principles to the smart wearable device industry. Students must identify a meaningful gap or unmet opportunity within the market and use this as the foundation for developing their proposed product. The new concept should respond to consumer needs and demonstrate how innovation can create value within the wearable technology sector. The assignment therefore combines market understanding, product innovation and strategic marketing planning. The brief directs students to begin their preparation by studying Chapter 17 of Jobber and Ellis-Chadwick's *Principles and Practice of Marketing* (Ninth Edition, 2023). It also provides a range of Mintel reports and industry sources covering technology visions, wearable technology trends, digital platforms, healthcare applications, luxury brands, family technology habits and Generation X technology habits. These sources provide background for understanding the development and adoption of wearable technology and emerging opportunities in the market. The recommended supporting material also includes academic research on marketing and organisational performance. The brief specifically identifies Morgan's research on marketing and business performance and Hult's work on boundary-spanning marketing organisations and organisation theories. These sources can support the theoretical and strategic foundations of the proposed marketing plan and help connect marketing activities with broader organisational performance. The completed report should demonstrate the student's ability to recognise a product opportunity, develop an original smart wearable concept and translate that opportunity into a coherent marketing plan. The proposed concept should be clearly connected to the identified product gap and should demonstrate how the product could provide value to its intended consumers within the competitive smart device market. The marketing plan should therefore integrate creative product thinking with appropriate strategic marketing principles. The assignment is submitted through Blackboard, with the deadline stated as 14 January 2026. The assessment is returned within 20 days and feedback is provided in written form. The brief identifies the submission as a Summative Assessment: Individual Written Report and specifies a 2,000-word limit. Overall, the coursework provides an opportunity to apply marketing theory and contemporary industry evidence to a practical new-product scenario. The final report should demonstrate an understanding of the smart wearable technology market while presenting a distinctive product idea and a strategically considered marketing plan capable of addressing an identified market opportunity.

Strategic Evaluation of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL): Organisational Strategy and Sustainability
This 2,473-word MSc Management coursework for BPP University’s Organisational Strategy and Sustainability module examines the strategic, sustainability and leadership dimensions of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL). The report applies the module’s learning outcomes through four main areas: strategic environmental analysis, ethical and sustainable practice, evaluation of strategic options, and personal leadership and sustainability reflection. The assignment is structured around PESTEL and VRIO for strategic analysis, the Triple Bottom Line for sustainability evaluation, the Ansoff Matrix for strategic options, and Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership for personal reflection. The first section evaluates HUL’s external and internal environment. PESTEL analysis considers political and legal requirements, economic pressures, social changes, technological developments and environmental risks. The report highlights issues including packaging regulation, extended producer responsibility, data privacy, commodity and energy volatility, rural–urban differences, AI-enabled operations, digital traceability, climate risk, water stress and packaging circularity. VRIO analysis then evaluates HUL’s purposeful brands and portfolio breadth, rural route-to-market, digital operations and analytics, and supplier development and sustainability governance as sources of competitive advantage. The second section assesses HUL’s ethical, sustainable and responsible practices through the Triple Bottom Line framework of People, Planet and Profit. The analysis considers workforce and community priorities, customer responsibility, renewable energy, emissions, water stewardship, waste and packaging, as well as productivity, efficiency, risk mitigation and sustainable growth. A specific packaging circularity transition is proposed, including design-for-recycling, post-consumer recycled content, lightweighting, refill and reuse pilots, collection partnerships and consumer education. The third section evaluates four strategic options using the Ansoff Matrix: urban refill and concentrate formats, rural assisted commerce through “Shakti 2.0”, an ingredient traceability platform, and precision revenue-growth management in quick-commerce. Each option is considered in relation to strategic fit, VRIO capabilities, risks, implementation actions, ownership and KPIs. The final section provides a first-person reflection on leadership and sustainability. It uses Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence and Transformational Leadership to examine learning from the strategic and sustainability analysis, including self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, collaboration and evidence-based decision-making. It also presents a 90-day leadership development plan focused on decision briefs, stakeholder pre-mortems and a personal Triple Bottom Line checklist.

The assignment is written from the perspective of a management consultant at BPP Consulting Group and is addressed to HUL’s Board of Directors. It focuses on HUL’s strategic management, sustainability initiatives and responsible leadership within a global business context.

Students are required to apply one strategic model to analyse the internal environment and one model to assess the external environment, such as VRIO, PESTEL or Porter’s Five Forces. The analysis should identify internal competencies, external opportunities and threats, sources of competitive advantage, and the influence of global and local market dynamics on HUL’s strategic choices. Particular consideration may be given to key regions such as the European Union, Asia and North America. The second section evaluates HUL’s ethical, sustainable and responsible business practices. The brief requires the use of one framework, such as the Triple Bottom Line or Sustainable Supply Chain Management, to assess one selected area of CSR, sustainability or ethical practice. The discussion should consider stakeholder engagement, regulatory influences such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and European Union legislation, and one HUL sustainability initiative such as product lifecycle management, eco-design, renewable energy integration or supply chain transparency. The third section critically evaluates HUL’s strategic responses to current and future challenges, including climate change, artificial intelligence and digital disruption. One strategic framework, such as the Ansoff Matrix, Blue Ocean Strategy or VRIO, should be applied to evaluate strategic options and their implications for long-term sustainability, competitiveness and market relevance. The final section provides a personal leadership and sustainability reflection. Students select one leadership model, such as Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions or Transformational Leadership, and reflect on their learning from the previous sections. The reflection covers personal development, ethical, cross-cultural or sustainable leadership, career aspirations, and values-driven leadership. The report concludes by summarising recommended changes to HUL’s organisational strategy and sustainability initiatives. The assessment requires Harvard referencing and a professional academic structure. The main body has a 2,500-word limit, with suggested allocations of approximately 50 words for the introduction, 600 words each for LO1, LO2, LO3 and LO4, and 50 words for the conclusion.
