MGMT3006-Further Assessment
The Further Assessment task is a written report, based on the questions below.
Your report should be 2,500 words (+/- 10%) and start with a one page Executive Summary of your report. The Executive Summary, Reference list, cover sheet, and any appendices are not included in the word count.
The allocation of your word count between the questions below is up to you, but you should apportion your words in line with the marks allocated to each question. In other words, a question worth 30% of the marks should take roughly 30% of the word count to answer.
Your report should use and demonstrate an understanding of the key topics, ideas and theories covered in class and engage with the assigned readings. Your report should make extensive use of the assigned weekly readings for this unit.
Due:
This report will be submitted through Turnitin in Blackboard.

In 2021 there have been many news stories relating to Facebook and its conduct in a variety of areas, including the impact it has on mental health, on spreading misinformation about vaccines, promoting political unrest, and the question of facial recognition software.
For this Further Assessment, you should first conduct a brief review of recent news stories relating to Facebook and its activities in 2021 at this link: Facebook | Technology | The Guardian
Consider the ethical aspects and implications of recent stories at the link.
Consider the topics and issued covered in Weeks 6-11 of this unit. Which do you think are the 2 most relevant to Facebook’s recent activities as outlined in these stories and why is that?
(Your answer should demonstrate an understanding of the relevant concepts and issues as discussed in this class and as applied to cases and issues in this class.)
Choose one of these issues from your answer to Question 1. What would the three normative theories covered in this unit say about this issue and why is that the case?
(Your answer should demonstrate an understanding of these three normative theories as discussed in this class and as applied to cases and issues in this class.)
Advice to Students:
issues you raise. This will let you keep your work both conceptual and ethical.
listed as ‘Essential Readings’ in the Reading List in Blackboard) will be the best place to start for references for this assessment. ‘Engaging closely’ with the readings means reading them closely and using them in depth, for example quoting, explaining, and applying multiple, specific, key ideas from the relevant readings rather than just generally referring to the overall idea of the readings once or twice.
A decent paper will mention and describe key ideas, a good paper will go further and show understanding of the ideas by explaining their relevance and significance to the argument. An excellent paper will show an understanding of complex and relevant connections between these ideas and using them to support a line of argument. In general, papers are stronger when they take time to explain key points and the connection between ideas in detail.
A good way to do this is to ask yourself at the end of each paragraph and after introducing each new idea or quote:
for my argument? How does it relate the most recent point I made?
about this?
Here is an example that includes a central point as well as an account of why it matters and why it is being raised:
Leadership demands our attention for other reasons as well.
For one thing, leadership seems almost inevitable. That is, whatever our best considerations and investigations into what the nature of leadership is and what we should think about it ethically, we cannot choose not to have leaders—whether we prefer them to be democratic, consultative or even anarchistic. Even in emergent forms, the coordinating and directing influence that some persons have over others is unavoidable. Because leadership in various forms is ubiquitous (as a force and structure) across the personal, social, political and economic aspects of our lives, it merits our better understanding.
There are ways you can be more explicit about this in your own papers. This includes using and answering questions, or using opening phrases, such as:
In general, what this does is demonstrate that you understand the relationship between ideas – what gives us good reason to believe something and what counts as good supporting evidence for your views and argument.
o Lastly, to meet the Academic Standards element of the marking rubric, make sure you use the full allocated word count, reference thoroughly and accurately, write clearly, and observe all required academic standards. Common errors here that keep students from achieving full marks for this element of the rubric include:
and thus attributing the view to the wrong author
