Remember:
1. This is an individual assignment. You may not work in groups, formally or informally.
2. Your assessment of the organisation’s position and your recommendations MUST be based upon the Case Study interview you have selected.
3.Some wider research is beneficial but it must not detract from your prime focus which is the case study interview and CMI and module-related models and content.
4. In your responses, you are allowed to make reasonable research-based assumptions to the case study details provided. However, the case study should not be changed or compromised in any way. If your analysis is not based on the case study interview you will lose significant marks. If you use a different case study to the ones provided you will
fail and receive 0% grade This document is for Coventry University students for their own use in completing their assessed work for this module and should not be passed to third parties or posted on any website.
