Managing the Global Supply Chain and Sustainability 2,500 words

Managing the Global Supply Chain and Sustainability – Individual Company Case Analysis

This assessment is an individual company case analysis for the Level 7 module Managing the Global Supply Chain and Sustainability. Students are required to select a real organisation of any size, type, industry or country and produce a comprehensive analysis of one operations performance objective. The available performance objectives are cost, dependability, flexibility, speed and quality. The report should identify current issues faced by the chosen organisation in relation to the selected objective and critically analyse the factors affecting its performance. Students are expected to apply relevant theories, concepts and tools covered during lectures and seminars to the selected company case. Rather than providing only descriptive explanations of theoretical concepts, the assessment requires students to demonstrate how these concepts can be applied to understand the organisation's operational or supply chain challenges. The analysis should consider how relevant theories, models or tools could contribute to improving the company's performance. The report should also provide a critical discussion of appropriate performance-improvement practices. These may include the use of digital technologies, sustainability practices, supply chain strategies, operational approaches or other relevant methods. Students should relate these practices directly to the findings from their chosen company case and consider their practical implications. Academic evidence and real-world examples should be used to support the analysis, with appropriate attention given to supply chain and operations management literature. The assessment is designed to develop students' ability to understand supply chain strategies, assess their contribution to agility, viability and sustainability, propose practical solutions to modern logistics and supply chain challenges, and evaluate how digital technologies and sustainability practices can improve supply chain performance. The report should therefore demonstrate analysis, application of theory, critical evaluation and evidence-based recommendations rather than simply describing the organisation or its supply chain. The individual report has a maximum length of 2,500 words, excluding references, tables, figures and appendices. It must include a contents page, be spell-checked and follow the specified formatting requirements. The report should use Arial 12-point font, 1.5 line spacing, A4 page size and 2.54 cm margins. Academic sources such as journal articles and books should be used, and all sources cited within the report must appear in a Harvard-style reference list. The report is submitted through Moodle Turnitin as a Word document.

Global Engineering: Theory and Practice – Aspen Pharmacare Global Expansion and Environmental Sustainability

This assessment for the Global Engineering: Theory and Practice module requires students to prepare a critical report examining the international growth strategies and future sustainability of a global pharmaceutical company. The assessment is based on the published case study “The growth strategies of a global pharmaceutical company: a case study of Aspen Pharmacare Holdings Limited” by Victoria Margaret Hodgon and Muhammad Ehsanul Hoque. The scenario requires students to act from a management perspective, where a pharmaceutical company is considering international expansion while maintaining environmental sustainability as one of its core business values. The report has a maximum length of 3,000 words, excluding the reference list, and must critically address the success and growth strategy of Aspen Pharmacare as presented in the selected research paper. Students are expected to demonstrate understanding of international business and global engineering concepts while evaluating the strategic choices made by the company. The report should not simply reproduce the findings of the source paper; instead, it should critically evaluate the evidence, identify strengths and weaknesses, consider challenges and risks, and use additional published literature to inform management decisions. The first section is a 250-word summary explaining the approach used in the report to describe Aspen Pharmacare’s success and presenting the key findings. The introduction, limited to 500 words, should provide the background context of the global pharmaceutical industry and explain the main growth strategies available to a global pharmaceutical company. This section establishes the context for understanding Aspen’s international development. The main evaluation section accounts for 1,500 words and requires a critical assessment of Aspen Pharmacare’s roadmap to global success, including its growth strategies and strategic planning. Students should examine the different approaches used by the company and consider the benefits, limitations, challenges, risks and strategic trade-offs associated with its growth. The analysis should demonstrate critical strategic evaluation rather than simply describing the company's historical development. The future prospects section, limited to 500 words, focuses particularly on sustainability. Students must identify the key area affecting Aspen’s future sustainability in light of the challenges associated with its growth and consider what additional actions could be taken in environmental sustainability. Students are also required to locate and use published literature beyond the main Aspen Pharmacare paper to inform management about future trends and developments. The report concludes with a 250-word conclusion containing recommendations for management based on the findings of the analysis. The recommendations should be specific, relevant to the company's circumstances and supported by the evidence discussed in the report. Alternative strategic options should also be considered where appropriate. Harvard referencing is mandatory. The report should be professionally presented with appropriate headings, a logical structure, clear and coherent language, correct grammar and punctuation, and effective integration of academic evidence. The assessment is worth 100% of the module and is evaluated on the quality of the summary, introduction, strategic evaluation, future sustainability analysis, conclusions and recommendations, referencing and overall professionalism.

Problem Solving and Research Methods for Managers 1,000 words

Problem Solving and Research Methods for Managers – Summative Assignment

This module assessment develops students’ ability to apply problem-solving tools, techniques and research methods to an original business problem. The assessment consists of two summative components. Summative 1 comprises two 25-question multiple-choice questionnaires covering the key learning areas taught throughout the module. Summative 2 consists of a video presentation and an individual reflective piece. For the video presentation, students must prepare a 10-to-15-minute presentation demonstrating competent application of the problem-solving tools, techniques and research methods taught during the module. The presentation should address an original problem identified within a business where the student has previously worked or currently works. Where the student does not have relevant work experience, a business that the student is interested in working for in the future may be selected. The presentation should include an appropriate analysis of the problem, application of relevant problem-solving and research methods, conclusions and recommendations. References should be included at the end of the presentation using the Harvard referencing system. The second component is an individual reflective piece of 1,000 words. The reflection should document the student’s learning experience, the outcomes of the experience and how the learning will inform future professional practice. The assessment brief emphasises that reflective writing should go beyond simply describing events. Students are expected to explore their thoughts and emotions and develop deeper self-awareness. The use of one or more reflective or learning frameworks is recommended to structure the reflection. The assessment is designed to assess both practical application and reflective learning. The video presentation should demonstrate the ability to connect theory with a real or relevant business problem and produce appropriate conclusions and recommendations. The reflective component should demonstrate what the student has learned from the experience, how that learning has influenced their understanding and how it can be transferred to future practice. Students must use Harvard referencing. The assessment is submitted through the relevant Moodle/Turnitin or Panopto submission links. The assessment brief states that presentation references are not included in the presentation word count. Students should also ensure that their final submission follows the required file-format and deadline instructions provided on Moodle. The marking rubric places substantial emphasis on the quality of presentation design and delivery, the depth of reflection and learning demonstrated, and clarity of writing, structure, grammar, Harvard referencing and use of visuals. Strong work should therefore demonstrate a clear connection between the business problem, the selected problem-solving and research methods, the resulting analysis, conclusions and recommendations, followed by a genuinely reflective discussion of the learning experience and its implications for future practice.

Strategic Management in Healthcare 4,000 words

Strategic Management in Healthcare – Strategic Analysis and Strategy Formulation

This individual summative assessment for the Strategic Management in Healthcare module requires students to critically examine strategic management and strategic thinking within a healthcare organisation, hospital, clinical department or healthcare unit of their choice. The assessment is designed to develop students’ ability to apply strategic management concepts and analytical frameworks to a real healthcare setting, evaluate the internal and external factors affecting organisational performance, and formulate appropriate strategies in response to identified operational and competitive challenges. The assessment consists of a 4,000-word report with a 10% tolerance and accounts for 100% of the module assessment. Students must first select an organisation, clinical department or healthcare unit to use as the case setting. The report should begin with a concise introduction to the selected case setting, establishing its organisational context and providing a clear direction for the strategic analysis. The introduction should explain the relevant characteristics of the organisation or healthcare unit and provide sufficient background to understand the strategic issues examined in the report. The report must critically analyse the relevance of strategic management and strategic thinking to the selected healthcare setting. Rather than simply describing strategic management concepts, students are expected to explain why strategic planning and strategic thinking are important for the particular organisation or department and how they can support performance improvement, service development and responses to operational and competitive challenges. A central requirement is the application of three strategic analysis tools or frameworks. The assessment examples include SWOT, PESTLE, Balanced Scorecard, Value Chain, Porter’s Five Forces, Resource Based View and Blue Ocean Strategy. Students must apply at least one appropriate tool at each of three analytical levels: macro-environment analysis, service area or market analysis, and internal environment analysis. Before applying each tool, students should define the framework and critically justify why it is relevant, effective and suitable for the selected healthcare case setting. The analysis should be detailed and evidence-based rather than purely descriptive. Students are then required to develop a hierarchy of strategies based on the findings from the strategic analysis. Strategies should be formulated at three levels and should clearly respond to the issues identified through the external, market or service-area and internal analyses. The report should explain how the proposed strategies could help the healthcare organisation or unit improve performance and address its operational and competitive challenges. The relationship between the analysis, strategic recommendations and expected outcomes should be made explicit. The final component requires students to reflect on the relevance and usefulness of the strategic tools beyond the selected case study and in relation to their current or future professional role. The reflection should consider how the strategic frameworks and analytical approaches could be transferred to other organisational or professional situations. The assessment should use appropriate evidence from sources such as academic journal articles, books, websites, case studies and grey literature. Harvard referencing is required. The marking criteria place emphasis on the quality of the introduction and case context, critical discussion of strategic planning, quantitative and analytical application of three strategic tools, strategy formulation and evaluation, reflection on application relevance, and presentation and referencing. The assessment therefore requires an integrated connection between the healthcare case, strategic analysis, evidence, recommendations and reflection rather than isolated descriptions of strategic frameworks.

AgroNova provides climate change and crop monitoring services to farmers in the UK and intends to expand internationally. However, its existing ageing infrastructure and manual processes present challenges to international expansion and the development of data-driven decision-making. The FieldVision project aims to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology and cloud-based big data solutions to collect, store and analyse real-time information from agricultural environments. The report requires students to act as a big data and cloud solution consultant and provide recommendations to senior management at AgroNova. The project involves IoT devices such as CropCam aerial cameras supplied by HydroSense and SmartHarvester solar-powered sensors supplied by SoilTech. These technologies collect information including crop imagery, soil moisture, temperature and humidity. The resulting data can support crop monitoring, risk assessment, early warning alerts, irrigation decisions, crop-failure claims validation and other farming-related insights. The first task focuses on Big Data Requirements and Storage Solutions. Students must identify the requirements arising from the scenario and critically evaluate a range of cloud-based big data storage solutions. The evaluation should consider factors such as capacity, functionality and costs. The second task requires students to propose one appropriate cloud-based solution architecture supported by an architecture diagram showing the essential components from data sources through to reporting. The selected architecture must be analysed in relation to AgroNova's requirements and the storage solutions considered in Task 1. The third task addresses Project Risks and Issues. Students must critically appraise the risks and issues associated with deploying the proposed cloud-based big data solution and identify appropriate mitigation approaches. These issues should be connected directly to the storage solutions and proposed architecture. The scenario highlights concerns from AgroNova's CISO, CFO and Chief Reputation Officer regarding potential data breaches, high costs and poor returns on investment, making security, financial viability and organisational risk important considerations. The report should contain an approximately 200-word introduction, an 800-word analysis of Big Data Requirements and Storage Solutions, a 500-word Proposed System Architecture section supported by relevant diagrams, an 800-word Project Risks and Issues section, and an approximately 200-word conclusion. Harvard referencing, academic research and appropriate supporting appendices are also required. The assessment addresses three learning outcomes: designing an architecture that supports complex data collection, critically evaluating data storage solutions from an enterprise systems perspective, and critically appraising issues involved in enterprise-system deployment.

The report is written from the perspective of a business consultant and is intended to provide senior management with a critical evaluation of Apple's current management practices and recommendations for changes that could improve organisational success. The assessment integrates academic management theories with the practical context of a contemporary global organisation and also requires students to reflect on their own management competencies and future career development. The first part of the report critically evaluates the management theories, concepts and practices currently used by Apple Inc. Students must explain how management contributes to Apple's success and creates organisational value, supported by appropriate academic literature, case study evidence and independent research. The assessment specifically requires consideration of the four philosophies of the Competing Values Framework and one additional relevant management theory. Students are expected to select an appropriate theory rather than attempting to apply every available management theory. The second part evaluates management as a value-adding universal activity within Apple's global business environment. Students must examine how Apple has adapted its strategies and management approaches at global, national and local levels. Frameworks such as LoNG-PEST or Porter's Five Forces may be used to analyse the external environment. The analysis should identify one global factor that creates an opportunity and one that presents a threat to Apple and explain where management can add further value. The third part critically analyses the key principles and functions of management, including planning, organising, leading and controlling. Students must identify one internal challenge faced by Apple in response to current or expected environmental changes and evaluate how management functions can be applied to address it. An appropriate academic model, such as Value Chain Analysis, VRIO or Mendelow's Matrix, should be used to justify the selected challenge and support the analysis. The fourth part focuses on critical reflection and personal skills development. Students must complete a Personal SWOT analysis, identify three career-related development objectives and prepare a Skills Development Plan covering the required competencies, resources and support, methods of achievement, measures of success and target review dates. A 500-word Reflective Statement must then critically reflect on the student's own management competencies and learning during the module. The reflection should be written in the first person and use an appropriate model such as Borton's, Kolb's, Maslow's or the GROW model, with particular attention to self-management, problem-solving and decision-making. The report should conclude by summarising the recommended changes that Apple should implement to improve its success. The main body is structured around an introduction, four assessment tasks and a conclusion, with the indicative allocation being 100 words for the introduction, 1,200 words for each task and 100 words for the conclusion. Tasks 1–3 should be written in the third person using an academic style, while Task 4 should use the first person.

Principles of Data Science 3,000 words

Principles of Data Science – Predictive Modelling and Data Analysis

This individual assessment for the Principles of Data Science module requires students to select, apply and critically evaluate data science methods, tools and techniques using one of three provided datasets and its associated scenario. The main assessment takes the form of a 3,000-word report in which students explore their chosen dataset, identify an appropriate predictive modelling approach, build and evaluate models, interpret the findings and critically reflect on the overall process and outcomes. The assessment addresses the principles and foundations of data science, statistical methods, data preparation, visualisation, predictive modelling, decision making and the critical evaluation of data science techniques and tools. Students begin by exploring the selected dataset to understand its structure, characteristics and limitations. Although the supplied datasets have already been cleaned, students may undertake additional data preparation or transformation where necessary. Any preprocessing decisions must be justified in relation to the requirements of the selected analytical methods. Feature selection should also be considered as part of preparing the data for model development. The assessment requires students to identify suitable forms of analysis for the selected scenario and justify their choice of methods. At least two different techniques must be used to develop models with predictive capacity for the response variable in the chosen dataset. The models must be trained and tested consistently, using the same training and test datasets so that their performance can be compared fairly. Where appropriate, students should also provide insight into feature importance and explain the contribution of relevant variables to predictive performance. Model performance must be evaluated using suitable metrics, followed by a clear description of the findings and recommendations appropriate for the intended audience. The report should document the complete analytical workflow, including data exploration, preprocessing, feature selection, model development, testing and evaluation. Students are expected to explain and justify the decisions made throughout the process rather than simply presenting code or model results. The assessment also requires students to demonstrate practical proficiency in data science tools and techniques. The brief expects the use of R for completing the assignment and requires evidence of important elements of the code, although the complete code does not need to be submitted. Data visualisation must be used to support the written discussion and communicate relevant findings effectively. The assessment is evaluated across theoretical knowledge and method selection, data exploration and processing, technical application and model evaluation, communication of findings, and overall presentation and referencing. The assessment therefore combines technical implementation with critical analysis, requiring students to explain why particular methods were selected, evaluate their effectiveness and consider the limitations and implications of the resulting findings. A separate second assessment component accompanies the written report. This component requires a presentation of the key findings from the written work using a maximum of five slides and a presentation duration of no more than seven minutes. It should summarise the dataset, methods, key findings and project outcomes while providing critical reflective commentary on lessons learned, factors affecting success and potential real-world applications.

Security of Emerging Connected Systems 1,500 words

CW1: Policy and Legal Aspects Report – IoT System

This 1,500-word report for the Security of Emerging Connected Systems module examines the legal and security implications of a proposed Internet of Things (IoT) system designed for consumers to monitor food intake and bodyweight. The coursework requires students to provide an initial investigation of the potential legal pitfalls associated with the proposed product and identify appropriate solutions or mitigation measures. The report is worth 5 credits and is assessed as an individual written report. The proposed IoT system consists of several connected components. A smartphone application allows users to scan barcodes of processed food to record calorie and nutritional information against their health record. A kitchen scale communicates with the phone application to record the weight of ingredients used in home-cooked meals. A bathroom scale records the user's weight and provides light and sound reminders to encourage regular measurements. A UK-based server stores the collected information and generates individual user reports. The main purpose of the report is to ensure that the company understands the UK and international laws that may apply to the proposed system. Students must identify potential legal issues and recommend appropriate mitigation through technology, organisational policy, licensing arrangements or user agreements. The system definition is deliberately broad, so students should not make unsupported assumptions about its design. Where several options have different legal implications, the report should compare the relevant alternatives and explain their implications rather than presenting only one solution. The initial product is intended for UK residents, while the company is considering future expansion into the United States. Consequently, the report should focus primarily on UK law but also include a short section discussing legal aspects that may need to be reconsidered when entering the US market. The report is intended for company executives and may subsequently be provided to the R&D department. Therefore, high-level outcomes should be communicated early, while useful links to technical information such as encryption schemes, protocols and frameworks may be provided without extensive technical explanations in the main report. The assessment places 50% of the marks on understanding and coverage of UK and US law, 40% on technical recommendations and 10% on report presentation. Strong submissions are expected to provide comprehensive coverage of relevant legislation, connect legal issues with the wider security context, analyse technical recommendations for both regions, identify differences between UK and US requirements and support arguments with appropriate citations and a wide range of sources. The assignment learning outcomes focus on critically evaluating the role of security policy in protecting information assets and proposing appropriate policies for internet-based technologies. They also require students to demonstrate an understanding of key legislation relating to information security and how legislation influences organisational security policy. The final report should therefore combine legal analysis with practical security recommendations, addressing the proposed IoT system from both UK and US perspectives while remaining suitable for both technical staff and non-technical management.

The assignment is titled “The Case study” and requires students to produce a written report presenting solutions to the problems identified within the case study. The assessment is worth 15 credits and requires approximately 1,500 words, with a permitted variation of ±10%. The coursework focuses on applying network security concepts and protocols to contemporary Internet and mobile-based solutions and technologies. Students are expected to analyse the requirements of the imaginary organisation, identify relevant network and security issues and propose appropriate planning and upgrade solutions. The report should demonstrate an understanding of network security technologies while considering the organisation's information assets and operational requirements. A significant part of the assessment concerns network performance. Students must provide recommendations and suggestions for addressing network performance issues identified in the case study. Where the proposed solution changes the existing network design, an appropriate network diagram should be included. The brief allows students to use tools such as Packet Tracer or other suitable applications to represent the proposed network design. The assignment also requires students to consider security policy and network protection. The existing security policy should be reviewed and recommendations should be made for improving it. Students are specifically instructed not to create a completely new security policy because the organisation already has one. In addition, the report should discuss how appropriate security measures could be implemented across the network. Detailed device configurations are not required, although relevant examples or configuration snippets are encouraged. Because the information provided in the case study is incomplete, students must identify and document their assumptions and requirements. This includes defining unspecified parameters such as network speeds, device features and existing policy details. The assumptions and requirements section is therefore an important part of the investigation and contributes to the assessment mark. The final report should summarise the key findings of the investigation and may recommend how any remaining IT support budget could be used. References must be included and used effectively to support the discussion. The marking criteria allocate 10% to the introduction, 10% to assumptions and requirements, 20% to improving performance, 20% to policy amendments, 20% to securing the network, 10% to the conclusion/summary and 10% to references. The assessed learning outcomes cover the application of network security concepts and protocols, critical evaluation and design of security policies, understanding of IT governance and its influence on organisational security policy, and critical review of current research and technological advances in network security.

Network Security and Incident Report – Megadodo Publications

This 1,500-word individual coursework for the Network Security and Incident Report module examines the network infrastructure and security challenges of Megadodo Publications, a company located near Warwick that has expanded into two buildings, Ursa Major Alpha and Ursa Minor Beta. Despite investment in new networking equipment, the organisation is experiencing poor network performance and repeated security incidents involving the leakage of sensitive information into the public domain. The situation is particularly urgent because the company is negotiating an important government contract. The student is placed in the role of a network security professional asked to investigate the existing environment and provide recommendations for improving its infrastructure and security. The case study provides a network topology, addressing scheme, equipment information and an existing security policy. The network connects departments across the two buildings and includes servers, management systems, sales, marketing, legal, finance, software development, product testing, administration, IT support, Wi-Fi and a rented floor occupied by a separate start-up company. The addressing scheme identifies separate subnets for several organisational functions, while the topology includes multiple switches, routers, servers and wireless access points. The report requires students to make reasonable assumptions where information is incomplete and document those assumptions at the beginning of the report. The first substantive task evaluates how the organisation's network performance could be improved. Recommendations should address the existing infrastructure and, where the design is changed, include an appropriate network diagram using tools such as Packet Tracer or other suitable applications. The second major area addresses amendments to the existing security policy. Students should recommend improvements to the current policy rather than create a completely new policy. The report must also discuss how appropriate security measures could be implemented across the network and its devices. Detailed device configurations are not required, although relevant examples or configuration snippets are encouraged. The final section requires a summary of the key findings and recommendations, together with a proposal for how the organisation could use its remaining IT support budget of approximately £8,000 and identify areas for future investment. The assessment is divided into introduction, assumptions and requirements, improving performance, policy amendments, security and devices, summary and budget, and references. The marking scheme allocates 50% of the module mark to this coursework, with the individual report submitted as a single DOC, DOCX or PDF document.

This coursework assesses the research and analytical abilities required to design and evaluate an effective network security evaluation and monitoring solution. The scenario places the student in the role of a network security evaluation specialist responsible for helping a client design and build a monitoring solution for a complex client network. The client operates in the defence and security sector, works with government departments, multinational organisations and foreign agencies, and handles sensitive information. The network includes several server farms, gateway nodes, hundreds of client nodes, internal application services, externally accessible services and wireless access points. The organisation is considered vulnerable to threats such as sabotage and intellectual property theft. The coursework requires all questions to be answered in the given order within a single report. An abstract is not required, and students are expected to use technical terminology precisely. Relevant and clearly labelled illustrations are encouraged. Where assumptions are required about security software, hardware or services already deployed on the network, these assumptions must be clearly identified in a dedicated “Assumptions” section at the beginning of the report. Question 1 focuses on detecting network reconnaissance originating from inside the organisation. Students must explain how an insider could collect and use reconnaissance information for malicious purposes, identify the types of data that should be collected and the appropriate network locations for collection, and justify the selection of monitoring data. The question also requires recommendations for suitable tools and configurations to detect reconnaissance activity, together with strategies for dealing with the scale and high traffic volume of the client network. This section carries 30 marks and has a suggested length of 500 words. Question 2 focuses on incident response following a confirmed security incident. The scenario involves suspicious out-of-hours activity and an external flash drive connected to a workstation at gateway 10, a large number of files being opened on a file server at gateway 9, and significant traffic between the workstation and a database server at gateway 5. Students must determine which previously collected data would be relevant, explain the evidence expected from that data, and recommend additional network and endpoint data that should be collected. The proposed approach must be forensically sound so that evidence can potentially be used in court. This section carries 50 marks and has a suggested length of 700 words. Question 3 addresses Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and evaluates the effectiveness of the proposed monitoring solution. Students must recommend appropriate testing to determine whether the monitoring system operates according to its specifications and objectives, explain the types, timing and location of testing, and identify suitable qualifications, certifications, knowledge and tool experience for security testers. The section also requires discussion of APT behaviour and how the proposed monitoring mechanisms could detect or prevent such activity. This section carries 20 marks and has a suggested length of 300 words.

Ethical Hacking – Professional Penetration Testing Report

This resit coursework for the Ethical Hacking module at Coventry University requires students to conduct a professional penetration testing examination of a small office environment represented by a number of virtual machines. The purpose of the assessment is to evaluate the security of the target environment, identify vulnerabilities, demonstrate appropriate exploitation techniques within the authorised assessment environment, and produce professional recommendations for improving the security of the systems. The assignment carries 15 credits and requires a report of approximately 2,000 words, with a permitted variation of ±10%. The report should follow a structured penetration-testing approach. The first section covers reconnaissance and target analysis, requiring students to investigate the target environment and identify its structure, services and potential attack surfaces. The marking criteria emphasise the use of appropriate tools to identify network structure and services and the identification of vulnerabilities during the scanning process. Students are expected to analyse the results rather than simply reproduce the output of scanning tools. The second section focuses on exploitation. Students must describe in detail the steps taken and the tools used to exploit relevant vulnerabilities identified during the assessment. The marking criteria distinguish between compromising the desktop and gaining access to the server, with higher achievement involving multiple relevant vulnerabilities and successful access through more than one vulnerability. The report should provide appropriate screenshots and sample sessions to support the findings. The third section addresses post-exploitation activities. Students are required to document and analyse activities carried out after gaining access to the target systems. Examples identified in the marking criteria include dumping password hashes and creating a persistent backdoor. For server assessment, the criteria also consider activities such as obtaining root access or establishing a persistent connection. The report should explain the significance of the activities rather than merely listing technical actions. The fourth section provides recommendations for securing the target machines. Recommendations must address all vulnerabilities identified during the assessment, not only vulnerabilities that were successfully exploited. Security issues should be discussed using an established risk-rating approach such as OWASP, and proposed countermeasures should be relevant to the specific vulnerabilities discovered. The report should also analyse how vulnerabilities relate to one another and fit within the wider security context. The final section presents the conclusions, including an evaluation of the penetration-testing work and alternative approaches that could have been taken. The overall learning outcomes require students to critically discuss the legal, technical and ethical scope of ethical hacking, evaluate penetration-testing methodologies and security assessment tools, analyse vulnerabilities, and professionally report penetration-test outcomes with suitable countermeasures.

Reflective Analysis of Entrepreneurial Capabilities and Development: The GymBuddy Venture

This reflective Entrepreneurial Marketing assessment evaluates the development of the student's entrepreneurial capabilities through the GymBuddy business concept, a proposed fitness application designed to improve motivation and accountability among beginner gym users. The reflection examines how entrepreneurial learning, customer research and creativity frameworks changed the student's original approach from developing a highly complex product toward a more focused and testable business proposition. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… A central theme of the report is entrepreneurial self-assessment. Opportunity recognition is identified as an important strength, supported by interviews with beginner gym users and competitor analysis involving platforms such as Strava, MyFitnessPal and Nike Training Club. At the same time, the reflection identifies areas requiring development, particularly financial understanding, customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, conversion-rate analysis and negotiation capability. These strengths and weaknesses are used to establish priorities for future entrepreneurial development. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… The report also evaluates the evolution of the GymBuddy product using SCAMPER, Design Thinking and Lean Startup principles. Rather than pursuing a feature-heavy application, customer feedback leads to greater emphasis on simplicity, peer accountability, social competition and iterative validation. SCAMPER is applied to eliminate unnecessary features, substitute complex recommendations with simpler motivational mechanisms, combine useful functionality and adapt gamification to the needs of beginner users. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… Another major area of reflection concerns teams, networks and collaborative innovation. The student considers how group creativity exercises challenged the assumption that a venture should be developed independently and highlights the importance of mentors, developers, industry professionals and potential investors. The report links entrepreneurial networks with access to resources, opportunity identification, legitimacy and emotional support and proposes deliberate networking activities as part of future venture development. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… The visual development framework on page 3 summarises the entrepreneurial journey in five stages: GymBuddy concept and market research, capability assessment, product development and validation, teams and networks, and a time-based action plan. The reflection is structured using the Gibbs Reflective Cycle, linking experience with evaluation, analysis and future action. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… Overall, the assessment demonstrates reflective learning through the application of entrepreneurial theory to a practical start-up concept. It shows a shift from perfectionism toward rapid validation, customer-centred development, collaborative working and concrete action planning, while identifying financial management, negotiation and network development as important areas for continued improvement. Entrepreneurial_Marketing_Refle… Note: this file is a completed reflective submission rather than the original university assessment guideline, so the university, academic level and academic year should remain Not specified unless you also upload the official brief.

International Marketing and Brand Management – International Brand Expansion Project

This individual project report for the International Marketing and Brand Management module focuses on analysing a selected brand and developing a strategy for its expansion into a new international market. Students must select a brand that is currently available in a limited number of countries or within a particular region and that has a physical market offering. The completed case study must be between 4,000 and 6,000 words, with 6,000 words specified as the maximum. The first part of the assignment focuses on Brand Analysis. Students are required to introduce the selected brand and examine its brand portfolio and geographical availability. The analysis must also consider the brand’s elements and evaluate its brand equity using Keller’s Customer-Based Brand Equity (CBBE) model. Students must additionally identify and analyse an appropriate brand mantra. These elements are intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the brand’s existing market position and identity. The second part examines potential international markets for the selected brand. Students must conduct SLEPT analyses of three culturally distinct markets that the brand could potentially enter. Each market must also be assessed through competitor analysis. This section requires students to consider the wider market environment and competitive conditions when evaluating potential international expansion opportunities. The third part develops the Strategy for Market Entry. Students must select and justify one new international market for the brand to enter and recommend an appropriate market entry strategy. The report must also provide recommendations regarding standardisation or adaptation using a marketing mix framework. In addition, students must identify the intended Points of Parity (POP) and Points of Differentiation (POD) that would support the brand’s positioning in the selected international market. The assignment requires students to integrate relevant academic models and theories into the brand case rather than simply describing them. Sources used to support models, theories, claims and arguments must be appropriately referenced using Harvard referencing, both through in-text citations and in the final reference list. Students are also encouraged to use appropriately referenced images and figures to illustrate their case study. Assessment weighting is divided equally across the three substantive sections, with Brand Analysis accounting for 30%, International Market Analyses for 30%, and Strategy for Market Entry for 30%. The remaining 10% assesses presentation, including the range and quality of sources, Harvard referencing, clarity of writing and presentation, and quality of discussion.

Enhancing Sustainable Supply Chain Practices through Digital Transformation: A Case Study of Unilever Plc

This consultancy project proposal examines how digital transformation can enhance sustainable supply chain practices at Unilever Plc. Unilever is presented as a multinational fast-moving consumer goods organisation operating across more than 190 markets, with a complex global supply chain and sustainability commitments linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The proposal focuses on the challenges associated with achieving supply chain transparency, managing fragmented sustainability data, and balancing sustainable sourcing and operational costs. The project investigates how emerging digital technologies, particularly blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), could support greater transparency, traceability, operational efficiency and sustainability within Unilever's supply chain. The organisational analysis identifies issues including the complexity of tracing raw materials across multi-tier supply chains, fragmented procurement and sustainability information systems, and the tension between sustainability investments and short-term operational costs. The proposal also considers infrastructure readiness, data security and employee upskilling as factors affecting digital transformation. The research aims to examine how digital transformation technologies could improve sustainable supply chain planning at Unilever while supporting long-term business and environmental goals. Three objectives are established: examining sustainability challenges affecting Unilever's global supply chain, assessing how blockchain, IoT and AI could improve transparency, traceability and efficiency, and proposing strategic recommendations for integrating digital innovation into Unilever's sustainability framework. The central research question examines how digital transformation can contribute to an ethical, transparent and sustainable supply chain while maintaining operational efficiency. A qualitative exploratory case-study research design is proposed. The main emphasis is on secondary data, including Unilever's annual reports, sustainability information, digital transformation publications, company news, industry articles and analyst reports. Where feasible, primary data may be collected through semi-structured expert interviews and a short qualitative questionnaire. The proposed analysis includes thematic analysis, document review and descriptive statistics using relevant secondary numerical data. Validity is supported through triangulation, while reliability is addressed through consistent coding and an audit trail. The proposal also addresses ethical considerations, including research integrity, transparency, confidentiality, informed consent, anonymity, GDPR requirements, plagiarism avoidance, Harvard referencing and potential corporate bias or greenwashing. Overall, the project explores the potential contribution of digital innovation to Unilever's sustainability objectives and the wider responsible digitalisation of the FMCG supply chain.

Success Through Business Ethics (BS846) — Individual Report: Ethical Failure in an FMCG Brand, Moral Philosophy, Decision-Making and Leadership Response

This Level 7 individual report examines a real fast-moving consumer goods brand that was found to have engaged in unethical business practices between 2000 and 2023, and works through why the failure happened rather than simply recounting what occurred. The brand is selected on the basis that sufficient documented evidence exists about both the company and its external environment — regulatory findings, investigative journalism, financial disclosures and NGO reporting — so that every analytical claim can be supported rather than assumed. The introduction establishes what business ethics means as an academic field, drawing on recognised sources, before introducing the chosen brand and setting out concisely what the unethical practices were, when they came to light and who was harmed. The first and largest analytical section applies three moral philosophical bases from the module to the case. Each is used as a lens rather than described in isolation: the utilitarian calculation the company appears to have made and where its accounting of harm was deficient, the duty-based obligations to consumers, workers or communities that were breached regardless of outcome, and the character and organisational culture questions that virtue ethics raises about how such decisions became normal internally. The evaluation is genuinely critical — it identifies where the company's conduct could be partially defended under one framework while failing badly under another, which is where the analytical marks sit. The second section takes one of the two theoretical approaches offered and applies it in depth. Where ethical decision-making is chosen, the report traces the sequence of judgements that produced the outcome, examining awareness, intent, organisational pressure and the moral intensity of the issue. Where social accounting is chosen, it assesses what the company disclosed about its social and environmental impact against what was actually occurring, and what that gap reveals about the purpose its reporting served. The third section evaluates leadership. It characterises the prevailing leadership style from the evidence and then focuses on the response once the practices were exposed — whether leaders denied, deflected, settled quietly or accepted accountability — supported by tables, figures and quoted material showing the consequences in share price, revenue, regulatory penalties and documented social or environmental harm. Three concrete recommendations follow, each derived directly from a failure identified in the preceding analysis and justified specifically for this brand rather than offered as generic good practice, with a short conclusion drawing the sections together. Harvard referencing is applied in text and in an alphabetised reference list.

Digital Marketing Analytics (BS783) — GA4 Performance Analysis and 90-Day Campaign Strategy for the Google Merchandise Store

This Level 7 report positions the writer as a digital marketing consultant engaged by the Google Merchandise Store, a live e-commerce operation. All quantitative work is drawn from the public GA4 Analytics Demo Account, so the analysis rests on real platform data rather than invented figures, and the report is structured in two halves that move from diagnosis to prescription. Part A is research and analysis. It opens by defining and evaluating the role analytics currently plays in shaping the store's digital marketing strategy — what is being measured, what that measurement is used for, and where the strategic gaps sit — grounded in marketing performance-measurement literature rather than description of the interface. The tactical analysis then assesses how effectively the store's digital channels and social content drove traffic and conversions across two defined quarterly reporting periods. Performance reporting follows, comparing the two periods in detail to identify the strongest customer segments, acquisition channels and products, and — more importantly — offering a reasoned explanation for why performance differed between them, distinguishing seasonality and campaign activity from genuine structural change. Part B turns to campaign strategy for a niche lifestyle market segment. A customer persona is developed and supported by the behavioural evidence visible in the GA4 data rather than asserted demographics, and a full journey map traces that persona from awareness through consideration, conversion and retention, identifying the friction points at each stage. Strategic recommendations then propose specific enhancements to channels and content aimed at that audience, each justified against the performance evidence from Part A and against the competitive landscape the store operates in. The final section builds the measurement architecture for the proposed campaign over the following ninety days. It sets goals and performance management parameters, selects the tools and metrics that will track them, defines the reporting cadence and the decision thresholds that trigger optimisation, and places particular weight on measuring return on marketing investment — connecting spend to sales, leads and customer satisfaction rather than to vanity engagement figures. Attribution limitations and the practical constraints of GA4 measurement are acknowledged where they affect confidence in the numbers. Throughout, screenshots and exported GA4 reports evidence the claims made, academic and practitioner sources support the analytical framing, and Harvard referencing is applied consistently. The submission is a single file through Turnitin.

Data and Decision Making (BS776) — Business Report: Two-Source Data Analysis in Python for Evidence-Based Decision-Making

This Level 7 report applies data management theory to a self-selected industry problem and carries it through to a working Python analysis and a defensible business recommendation. The brief is deliberately open on sector — finance, healthcare, transport, cyber security, business intelligence and others are all permitted — but firm on one point: the chosen topic must carry a genuine business implication rather than being a purely technical or clinical analysis. The work therefore begins by framing a specific data-driven decision the organisation needs to make, and returns to that decision at every stage. Two distinct data sources are then identified from approved open repositories and critically evaluated side by side. The evaluation covers the data types each holds, how the data was collected and what bias that introduces, how each is stored and managed, and where the weaknesses lie — proposing concrete data management solutions for the problems identified rather than simply cataloguing them. The analytical core examines, transforms and explores both datasets using univariate and multivariate techniques. All work is carried out in Python within Google Colab, with full screenshots of the code and outputs placed in the appendices and the live Colab link shared for verification. Charts and tables sit in the main body where they support interpretation, each labelled and referenced back to its data source, and each appendix is cited from the narrative so the reader can move between argument and evidence. Data cleaning and transformation steps are shown and justified, not glossed. Findings are reported at length and converted into a clear recommendation covering both the immediate decision and the current and future direction of data management for the business. The limitations section is written honestly — sample coverage, data recency, the assumptions the transformation forced, and what the proposed solution cannot address. Running alongside this, the module's weekly consolidation discussions are evidenced. Five or more critical responses across units two to nine are screenshotted, dated, individually labelled as appendices, and each supported by academic and practice references. Crucially, these are not left sitting in the appendix: they are cited and used within the main body to support the critical discussion, which is where the marks for that component sit. The report follows the prescribed structure — title page, executive summary, contents, introduction, main section with subsections per task, findings, recommendations, limitations, conclusion, Harvard reference list and full appendices — submitted as a single file.

Predicting ADHD Diagnosis Using Machine Learning and Explainable Data Science

This Data Science assessment requires students to develop a comprehensive analytical solution to a real-world healthcare prediction problem using the WiDS Datathon 2025 Health Outcomes Prediction Dataset. The dataset contains socio-demographic information, diagnostic variables and functional MRI data relating to children and adolescents, with the principal objective of developing predictive models for ADHD diagnosis. The assessment is designed to demonstrate the complete data-science lifecycle, from data preparation and exploratory analysis through predictive modelling, interpretation and evidence-based recommendations. Students begin by exploring the dataset's features, data types and distributions before addressing missing values, outliers and other inconsistencies. Appropriate feature engineering should be undertaken where necessary, followed by Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) using relevant visualisations to identify relationships, patterns and correlations within the data. Students with limited computational resources may use a representative subset, provided that the sampling method preserves the integrity and distribution of the original dataset and is clearly justified. A major component of the assignment involves developing and comparing at least three classification models. Appropriate techniques may include Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and Neural Networks. Model performance should be evaluated using measures including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score and ROC-AUC, allowing students to identify the strongest-performing model through systematic comparison. The assessment also requires model interpretation and explainability. Students should explain the results of the selected model and may apply techniques such as SHAP or LIME to investigate feature importance and individual predictions. A feature-importance visualisation must be produced, and the most influential variables should inform practical recommendations for healthcare professionals regarding the potential use of predictive modelling in supporting earlier ADHD diagnosis and intervention. Overall, the assignment integrates data cleaning, exploratory analytics, predictive modelling, model comparison, explainable AI and research-informed healthcare recommendations. Students must submit a comprehensive report of no more than 2,500 words, alongside a Jupyter Notebook containing the implementation and outputs.

Business Intelligence / Data Analytics / Project Management

Business Intelligence and Data Analytics for Project Progress Evaluation

This assessment for the Data Analytics and Project Management for Business Intelligence module requires students to critically evaluate the progress of a live-style project through the application of business intelligence and data analytics techniques. Working as a group of Project Analysts, students select either a Convocation project or Concert project associated with Northumbria University London and prepare a professional presentation assessing its progress, stakeholders, deliverables and performance. The assessment begins with development of a clear project problem or opportunity statement, followed by identification and analysis of the key stakeholders and deliverables associated with the selected project. Students then use Business Intelligence and Data Analytics techniques to examine project progress and communicate findings through dashboards. The assessment permits the use of Microsoft Excel or other suitable software for dashboard development. A central part of the task is the creation and critical evaluation of a project dashboard. Students are expected to use realistic assumed or projected data where necessary, as the assessment is designed to test the ability to design, interpret and critically evaluate dashboards rather than the accuracy of real project data. The data should therefore be internally consistent, relevant to the selected project and capable of generating meaningful management insights. Students must also critically justify their chosen BI and analytics tools, explaining how the dashboard supports project monitoring and informed decision-making. The assessment concludes with recommendations for the successful implementation and use of a Business Intelligence or Data Analytics solution within the selected project. Academic references and relevant examples should be used to support the analysis. The marking criteria place the greatest emphasis on application of BI tools and techniques (30%), followed by stakeholders and deliverables (20%) and justification of BI tools (20%). Project and opportunity analysis, conclusion and recommendations, and presentation and referencing each contribute a further 10%. Higher-performing work is expected to demonstrate critical evaluation, meaningful dashboard insights, strong theoretical or industry justification and professionally presented recommendations.

A Comparative Analysis of Cultural Factors Shaping Human Resource Staffing Strategies in International Enterprises

This International Human Resource Management assessment examines how cultural, institutional and employment-related factors influence recruitment and international staffing decisions when an organisation expands into a new national market. Students take the role of an HR representative for VetDopomoga, a Ukraine-based international veterinary clinic chain considering expansion into either the United Kingdom or India. The task requires a comparative analysis of Ukraine and the selected host country, followed by evidence-based recommendations for adapting the organisation's recruitment strategy. The first element of the assessment evaluates the cultural and institutional environment of the selected country. Students consider factors such as communication style, hierarchy and power distance, individualism versus collectivism, time orientation, labour-market conditions, professional expectations and the regulatory or employment environment. These factors must be compared with the corresponding context in Ukraine to identify implications for international HR practice. Students must then apply an appropriate international staffing strategy, selecting from ethnocentric, polycentric, regiocentric or geocentric approaches. The selected strategy should be justified in relation to VetDopomoga's proposed international expansion and recruitment requirements. The poster must also apply one cultural framework. Students may use either the Cultural Intelligence Framework developed by Earley and Ang or Erin Meyer's Culture Map. Two relevant dimensions from the selected framework should be analysed to explain potential benefits and challenges for recruitment across Ukraine and the selected host country. Practical application is an important component of the assessment. Students research recruitment best practices used by international veterinary organisations operating in the UK or India and assess which practices VetDopomoga could adopt, modify or avoid. The poster concludes with three evidence-based reasons supporting expansion into the selected country. The final poster should be concise, visually structured and supported by diagrams, charts, icons or other relevant visuals. At least seven academic or professional sources are required, including the core International Human Resource Management textbook, with Harvard-style in-text citations and a full reference list. One important guideline: the assessment brief indicates Category 2 AI use — proofreading only, meaning AI-generated assessment content is not permitted under that category.

Examining the Role of Cross-Cultural Communication in Enhancing Team Efficiency: Evidence from McDonald’s Multicultural Workforce in London

This dissertation examines the role of cross-cultural communication in enhancing team efficiency within McDonald’s multicultural workforce, with the study framed around the challenges and opportunities created by culturally diverse working environments. The research considers how differences in language, communication styles, cultural expectations and workplace behaviour can influence employee collaboration, productivity and organisational effectiveness. The study aims to assess cross-cultural communication within multicultural teams, analyse its relationship with team success, and identify cultural factors that can support stronger workplace collaboration. The research adopts a qualitative secondary-research methodology under an interpretivist and inductive approach. Evidence is drawn from peer-reviewed academic literature, McDonald’s annual and diversity reports, and relevant hospitality-sector studies. The collected evidence is examined through thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns relating to communication barriers, workforce productivity, multicultural collaboration and inclusive leadership. The analysis is organised around four principal themes: cross-cultural diversity and workforce productivity; communication barriers and cultural challenges; diversity management and inclusive leadership; and HR practices, employee motivation and organisational performance. The discussion considers issues such as language barriers, cultural adjustment, misunderstandings, workplace conflict, leadership representation, employee inclusion, recruitment, training, digital HR systems and the use of AI-enabled workforce technologies. The study finds that workforce diversity alone does not automatically generate higher productivity. Instead, the effectiveness of multicultural teams depends substantially on the communication structures, inclusive leadership practices and HR support systems used by the organisation. Effective cross-cultural communication can strengthen coordination, customer responsiveness, employee engagement and operational efficiency, while poorly managed communication differences can contribute to delays, misunderstanding, stress and conflict. The report concludes with recommendations for continued cross-cultural communication training, inclusive leadership development, conflict-resolution initiatives and multilingual communication support. It also recognises the limitation of relying on secondary evidence and identifies primary research with employees and managers as a potential direction for future research.

Predicting ADHD Diagnosis Using Machine Learning and Explainable Data Science

This Data Science assignment focuses on developing a comprehensive analytical solution to a real-world healthcare prediction problem. Using the WiDS Datathon 2025 Health Outcomes Prediction Dataset, students are required to analyse complex and high-dimensional healthcare data containing socio-demographic information, diagnostic variables and functional MRI data relating to children and adolescents. The principal predictive objective is to determine ADHD diagnosis from the available features. Students may use a representative subset of the dataset where computational resources are limited, provided that the sampling approach maintains the integrity and distribution of the original data and is appropriately justified. The assessment requires a complete data-science workflow beginning with data understanding and preprocessing. Students investigate the dataset's features, data types and distributions before addressing missing values, outliers and inconsistencies. Appropriate feature engineering should then be undertaken where it can improve the predictive capability of the models. Exploratory Data Analysis is used to identify important patterns, relationships and correlations, supported by relevant visualisations that communicate meaningful insights. A major component of the work involves the development and comparison of at least three classification models for predicting ADHD diagnosis. Suitable approaches may include Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and Neural Networks. Models are evaluated using performance measures including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score and ROC-AUC, after which the most effective model is selected based on the evidence obtained. The assessment also places substantial emphasis on model interpretation and explainability. Students must interpret the selected model and may use approaches such as SHAP or LIME to explain feature importance and individual predictions. A feature-importance visualisation is required, and the most influential variables should inform practical recommendations. The final section translates analytical findings into recommendations for healthcare professionals, considering how predictive modelling could assist early ADHD diagnosis and intervention. Research literature must be integrated into the recommendations and conclusion. The assessment therefore combines preprocessing, exploratory analysis, predictive modelling, explainable AI and evidence-based healthcare decision-making within a single applied data-science project. The required report is a maximum of 2,500 words, with code, supplementary charts and tables permitted in appendices. A Jupyter Notebook containing the implementation and outputs is also required.

Advanced Quality Engineering: Gauge R&R, Process Capability and Statistical Process Control Analysis

This Advanced Quality Engineering coursework requires students to apply quantitative quality-management techniques to a realistic manufacturing scenario involving the production of precision components. The assessment combines measurement system analysis, process capability evaluation and Statistical Process Control (SPC) to determine whether measurement and manufacturing processes are sufficiently reliable and capable of meeting specified engineering requirements. The first stage focuses on Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (Gauge R&R). Students are provided with measurements from ten components, with each component measured twice by two different operators. Using the supplied data and the module's Gauge R&R calculator, students must assess whether the measurement system is capable of evaluating a critical component dimension specified between 115 mm and 116 mm. This section tests the ability to evaluate measurement variation and determine the suitability of a measuring system for quality-control purposes. The second task requires comparison of two CNC machining processes. Historical batch measurements from a Honzaki CNC vertical milling machine are compared with measurements from a replacement Kawda CNC vertical milling machine. Students must calculate the Cp and Cpk process capability indices for both processes, interpret the results and determine which process is better suited to producing components within specification. Recommendations for process improvement and responsibility for corrective action must also be considered. The final task applies Statistical Process Control. Students must construct appropriate X-bar and R control charts, calculate the relevant control limits, plot process performance and investigate potential out-of-control conditions to identify differences between components produced by the two machines. Supporting module material emphasises the distinction between common and special causes of variation, interpretation of abnormal control-chart patterns, process capability and the use of SPC as a feedback mechanism for preventing defective output and improving manufacturing quality. Reference style: keep this as Not specified in the portal. The handbook requires external material to be properly acknowledged, but the uploaded guideline does not prescribe Harvard, APA, IEEE or another named referencing system.

Students then undertake an extensive data analysis and framework application section using two or three relevant theoretical models alongside credible secondary evidence, industry reports, company data, tables, charts or Excel outputs. Findings should be interpreted critically and linked back to appropriate strategic or management frameworks while incorporating ethical and sustainability considerations. The project concludes with three prioritised, actionable and evidence-based recommendations, including consideration of implementation risks, barriers and anticipated benefits. Students must also critically reflect on the employability skills developed through the consultancy project, including research, analysis, problem-solving, project management, communication, professional behaviour, ethical awareness and future career development. All academic and professional evidence must be cited using the Harvard Referencing System, with emphasis on credible and current sources.

Business Intelligence and Data Analytics Dashboard for Project Progress Evaluation

This group assessment requires students to act as Project Analysts and critically evaluate the progress of a university project using business intelligence, data analytics and project management techniques. The scenario is based on Northumbria University London planning two major events: a Convocation and an associated Concert. Students must select one of these projects and assess its progress through a professionally structured presentation. The assessment requires students to begin by defining the main problem or opportunity associated with the selected project. They must then identify and analyse the project's key stakeholders and deliverables. A major component of the work involves evaluating project progress using suitable business intelligence and data analytics techniques and developing an appropriate dashboard, which may be created using Microsoft Excel or other suitable software. Students must not only present the dashboard but also critically analyse and justify its design, selected metrics, analytical methods and usefulness for project monitoring and decision-making. Because the projects are treated as already being in progress, students are permitted to create assumed or projected data to demonstrate their dashboards. The assessment does not primarily evaluate the accuracy of real project data; instead, it assesses students' ability to design, present and critically evaluate meaningful dashboards. Any assumed data should therefore remain realistic, internally consistent and relevant to the selected project. The presentation should conclude with evidence-based recommendations for the successful implementation and use of the proposed business intelligence or data analytics solution. Academic references and relevant examples must support the presentation, and a single reference list must be included. Assessment weighting places particular emphasis on application of BI tools and techniques (30%), followed by stakeholders and deliverables (20%) and justification of BI tools (20%). Project and opportunity analysis, conclusions and recommendations, and presentation/referencing are each worth 10%. The final assessment is a 15-minute group presentation followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer session. Every group member must contribute to the presentation. The PowerPoint submission is made electronically through Turnitin. Do not select Harvard automatically for this one. Unlike the previous Roehampton brief, this Northumbria brief requires academic references and a reference list but does not state a specific referencing style in the uploaded document.

AI Readiness and Programme Adoption Strategy for the NewFutures: AI Programme at Northumbria University London

This postgraduate consultancy project focuses on developing an AI readiness, skills-development and programme-adoption strategy for students and recent alumni at Northumbria University London. The project supports the university’s participation in NewFutures: AI, a funded AI skills and career-readiness programme offering a four-week online course covering responsible AI foundations and specialist pathways in Marketing and Communications, Finance and Accounting, Business Operations and Logistics, Administration, and ICT and Technical Support. The central consultancy challenge is to understand the AI literacy, confidence, readiness and training needs of Northumbria University London students and alumni and translate that evidence into a practical implementation and outreach strategy. The client aims to reach approximately 12,000 students and recent alumni and support a target of 6,000 LMS registrations during the 2026–2027 programme period. The project requires primary and secondary research into AI readiness, demand for different AI-skilling pathways and barriers to participation such as awareness, time, perceived value and accessibility. The consultancy team is also expected to benchmark comparable initiatives and use research evidence to develop recommendations appropriate to different academic disciplines and student and alumni groups. The implementation component focuses on designing an evidence-based outreach and adoption campaign, including appropriate communication channels, messaging, timing, incentives, faculty engagement and stakeholder participation. Recommended channels may include email campaigns, newsletters, social media, student services, events, learning platforms and alumni communications. The project also requires an implementation timeline and indicative budget for the 2026–2027 programme period. The wider assessment develops professional consultancy capability through business and requirements analysis, research methodology, ethical research practice, practical implementation, testing and strategic recommendations. The project charter additionally establishes milestones for research design, data collection, analysis, report development, review and presentation, together with defined responsibilities for project management, data analysis, AI expertise and stakeholder communication. The individual component complements the consultancy work through critical reflection on personal contribution, skills development, decision-making, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, technical capability, innovation and continuous professional development.

Global Supply Chain and Operations Performance: Company Case Analysis

This Level 7 individual assignment requires students to produce a 2,500-word company case analysis examining an important operations performance issue within a real organisation. Students may select an organisation of any size, type, industry or country and must concentrate their analysis on one operations performance objective: cost, dependability, flexibility, speed or quality. The report requires students to identify the current challenges faced by the chosen organisation in relation to the selected performance objective and critically examine those challenges using relevant operations and supply chain management theories, concepts and analytical tools. Rather than providing only a descriptive account of organisational activities, students are expected to apply appropriate theoretical frameworks to the case and evaluate how these concepts could contribute to improved organisational and supply chain performance. A significant component of the assignment involves critically discussing appropriate best practices for performance improvement. These may include digital technologies, sustainability practices or other relevant operational and supply chain approaches. Students should connect these practices directly to findings from their chosen company case and assess their practical relevance, opportunities and limitations. Academic literature and appropriate real-world evidence should be used throughout to substantiate the analysis and recommendations. The assignment evaluates students' ability to analyse supply chain and operations problems, apply academic theory to organisational practice, and develop evidence-based conclusions and practical recommendations. The marking rubric places substantial emphasis on analysis and discussion (30%), application of theory (30%), and conclusions and recommendations (30%), with the remaining 10% allocated to presentation, logical structure, English expression and correct referencing. The report must use Harvard referencing, include a contents page, and follow the specified academic formatting requirements, including Arial size 12, 1.5 line spacing and A4 pages with 2.54 cm margins.

Digital Marketing Analytics Consultancy Report — Accessibility, Social Listening and Web Analytics for an E-Commerce Storefron

This assessment places the student in a consultancy role advising a global brand's e-commerce storefront on its digital marketing strategy. It is written as a business report rather than an academic essay, in the third person, with appendices used only for supporting material that the main text explicitly refers the reader to. The work is built from four analytical layers, and the mark weighting tells students where the effort belongs. The first is an accessibility and user experience evaluation of the client site benchmarked against two self-selected industry competitors — the selection itself must be justified, and the analysis must cover both technical and content dimensions using recognised evaluation tools rather than impressionistic browsing. The second layer, carrying the smallest weight, is social listening: which networks the brand and its competitors are active on, what engagement looks like, which content types perform, and who the influential voices are. This is paired with qualitative sentiment or content analysis of actual social comments, on the premise that quantitative engagement metrics describe reach but not attitude. The third and heaviest layer is quantitative analysis using a web analytics platform, typically via a demonstration account that provides real traffic data. Students query the data themselves and extract performance insights. Comparison across time periods is what separates competent work from strong work here: a single-period snapshot describes, while period-over-period comparison explains. The fourth layer, weighted equally with the analytics, asks the student to synthesise everything into strategic recommendations for the coming year, covering areas such as customer segments, user behaviour, landing and exit page performance, search ranking positions, advertising budget allocation, marketing channels and e-commerce performance. This section is where most marks are lost. Recommendations that do not trace back to a specific finding from the preceding analysis read as generic digital marketing advice, and rubrics at this level penalise exactly that. Presentation requirements are prescriptive — specified font, size, line spacing and justified margins — and the report is expected to be concise despite the breadth of analysis, which makes ruthless selection of evidence part of the task. A draft submission point for similarity checking is usually provided separately from the marked final submission. Assessments of this type commonly require a signed declaration itemising any AI tool use, with an explicit confirmation that AI was not used to generate sentences, paragraphs or sections. Our support on assessments of this type is guidance-based. Typical areas of help include: explaining how accessibility evaluation tools are used and what their output actually shows, clarifying the difference between reporting analytics figures and interpreting them, showing how a recommendation should be traced to a specific finding, advising on report structure and appendix discipline, checking APA consistency, and reviewing a student's own draft against the published rubric.

Strategic Recovery Marketing Report — Diagnosing Underperformance and Building a Sustainable Turnaround Plan

This is a case-based marketing assessment in which the student selects a real business that is currently underperforming or failing, diagnoses the causes, and builds a full marketing recovery strategy for it. The company choice is the student's own but requires module team approval, so the selection itself carries risk: a firm with thin public disclosure will starve the analysis, while an over-documented household name invites description rather than diagnosis. The deliverable is a formal report of around four thousand words, excluding references and appendices, referenced in APA 7. Appendices can carry supporting data, models and supplementary analysis, but not core content — a common way marks are lost is pushing substantive argument into an appendix to stay within the word limit. The report has two linked halves that students often treat as separate. The first is diagnostic: why is this business underperforming? This demands explicit application of marketing theory rather than a narrative of the company's troubles assembled from press coverage. The second is prescriptive: a recovery strategy that follows from the diagnosis. Recommendations that could have been written without the analysis — refresh the brand, invest in digital, improve customer experience — score poorly regardless of how well they are expressed. Where this module differs from a generic strategic marketing assessment is the sustainability and ethics dimension. The learning outcomes centre on sustainable marketing, social responsibility, and the intersection of marketing technology with sustainable practice. The marking criteria reward conclusions that show awareness of ethical and sustainability dimensions at every band above a pass. A recovery plan built purely on cost and revenue logic will therefore underperform against the rubric even if it is commercially sensible. The strongest submissions treat sustainability as part of the recovery mechanism rather than a section appended at the end. Assessments of this type increasingly sit within a tiered AI policy. Where a permissive tier applies, students may use AI tools for idea generation, structuring, source discovery, summarising notes, and proofreading or feedback — but not for producing the analysis itself — and must declare which tools were used and how, usually in a table placed before the reference list. Students are also expected to retain evidence of how their thinking developed, such as version histories or drafts, which can be requested if misconduct is suspected. Our support on assessments of this type is guidance-based. Typical areas of help include: advising on company selection and data availability, explaining how a diagnostic framework should structure an argument, showing the difference between descriptive and evaluative use of theory, clarifying how sustainability criteria are actually assessed in a marking rubric, checking APA 7 consistency, and reviewing a completed draft against the published criteria.

This module requires you to complete two assessments: a group presentation (25%) and an individual report (75%). In the group presentation, your team must analyse a chosen industry using strategic tools such as PESTEL analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and competitor/strategic group analysis. The presentation should critically evaluate the external and industry environment, include graphs, charts, and academic references, and demonstrate strong teamwork and confident delivery during the 15-minute presentation and 5-minute Q&A session. The individual report requires you to select a company from the recommended list and critically evaluate its strategic challenges, business ethics, sustainability practices, and/or organisational culture issues. You must analyse the impact of these issues on the company, provide well-justified recommendations, suggest suitable leadership and management approaches, and support all arguments using relevant strategic and leadership theories. The work should be analytical rather than descriptive, properly referenced with in-text citations, professionally formatted, and based on extensive research.
