Section 1 - Tips for the report
● Purpose
○ The purpose of the report is for you to act as a researcher for a management
consultant company, addressing the current management issues of Stone
Stylists Ltd, therefore the report should be in third person and use formal
language, with clear headings
● Title
○ Write an appropriate title for the document, you want to specify the company
name (Stone Stylists Ltd), what the report is on (management challenges)
and your name.
● Structuring the challenges and proposals
○ The challenges and proposals can follow the same structure
○ Define→ Explain→ Theory→ Analyse→ Link
■ First you need to define the challenge/proposals e.g. low motivation,
quality circles
■ Then explain the challenge/proposal e.g. why is it a challenge, how
will the proposal solve the challenge?
■ Bring in theory
■ Analyse the theory, often referencing the data tables
■ Link to the strategic objectives! This is crucial for achieving a
Distinction. State exactly how the challenge/proposal impacts the
objective(s)
○ Make you you reference the strategic objectives in every challenge/proposal,
you do not have to mention all 3 in one given challenge/proposal - quality
other quantity
