Look at the author’s points of evidence, organization, and overall method for presenting this information.
    • The second portion of the review should consist of your analysis and evaluation of their argument (*Do not begin to analyze and evaluate until you have first summarized their argument and noted their methodology*). Did the author effectively communicate his/her thesis? Why or why not? You will not be required to include outside sources for this portion of the paper, but you can if you wish.

    The rational goal model mainly highlights the organisational ability for achieving the overall organisational goals. Such goals are generally identified by setting the broad goals and identifying several means for the accomplishment. In this regard, the current essay will reflect on the personal experiences in the workplace. This reflective essay will also highlight on the learning which has already been achieved in the workplace as the part of my skill-development strategy. Body: I have been able to deliver the increased level of outputs and the productivity by following the rational goal model in the workplace. This approach has helped the leaders in my workplace to emphasise on the planning, goal setting, efficiency and productivity as the major external focus. Considering the opinion of Finkle et al. (2009), the rational goal model is one of the four major approaches of the competing value framework. This model has helped me as the vital strategic tool for developing my supervision and management skill in the workplace. The competency approach of this model has also assisted me to acquire knowledge how to understand and interpret several organisational functions and the processes (Lurie, 2011). I have also been able to use the systematic work methods. The division of the labour in my workplace was easy due to the following of rational goal approach. This framework has helped my manager to consider the different roles which were required to play in the workplace. From such level of competency of this framework, I have been able to develop myself through various kinds of learning. The major focus of this model in the workplace was on the managerial external control.

Try to explain why there are different outcomes in your different country case studies and how these may be best managed. Finally, conclude whether or not “The positive economic, sociocultural and/or environmental benefits that tourism can achieve for the host community far outweigh any negative impacts brought about by tourism.” As in Assignment 1, you are encouraged to use visual devices such as figures and tables.

    Human development is a term which we used to tell how human develop his mind through various concept. In our education system, there are some psychologists such as a Piaget, Kohlberg, Erikson and Vygostky used theories to tell us how a child grow and learn. John Piaget (1896-1980) was one of the psychologists who introduce the cognitive theory of learning (Berger, 2006 & Heaven, 2011). He used word ‘schema’ to tell us how child build their world. The word ‘schema means an individual organise and expound information (Santrock, 2010). Piaget also familiar with another term ‘cognitive equilibrium ‘that means a state of mental balance. He tells us children grow under four stages.
    Lawrence Kohlberg was student of the university in Chicago in 1950s; he was affected by Piaget’s work. He introduced the theory of moral development. He also used Piaget’s method of clinical interviews (Mclnerny, 2005). Kohlberg also draw special attention towards social cognitive views through how student take their social decision. Piaget mentioned that all children grow under two stages. A stage of ‘heteronomous morality’ that means children sense is based on breaking rules. The second stage of ‘autonomous morality’ that means they want change. Kohlberg also influenced by these two stages. Kohlberg introduced three main levels of reasoning and development and further two sub stages of each level. He stated that each stage is in sequence.

    Part B (70% of Module mark) – Using the same Case Study • Please refer to following link as a starting point for your research: http://www.economist.com/news/leaders/21666226-volkswagens-falsification-pollution-tests-opens-door-very-different-car • With reference to the case study write a 1,750 word report addressing the following tasks: 1. Discuss VW’s internal and external environment. To what extent were its problems caused by factors within these environments? 2. If you were appointed VW’s new CEO, what leadership and management approaches would you embrace in order to ensure that employees remain committed and motivated? 3. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of VW’s current organisational structure. 4. What recommendations would you propose to help ensure that VW avoids similar problems in future? Your Case Study report should be 1750 words (excess writing will be disregarded) Guidance on writing the individual report: 1. The report structure must include: • Executive summary: This is very brief statement that summarises the whole report. This summary should identifying main issues or problems addressed within the report, and serve to rapidly acquaint a reader who has not read it, of the analysis and conclusions of the report. • Introduction: An introduction provides an orientation to the reader. It is therefore advised that your introduction should guide the reader as to the structure of your writing i.e. say what you are going to do, how you develop your analysis, and in what order you do this. • Body Paragraphs: This section of the report can include background information relevant to your analysis and findings e.g. a presentation of how you have chosen to focus your analysis of the case study. It is important to remember that your research analysis and findings need to be developed through a coherent argument using your own words. Moreover, it is vital to keep in mind that it is required that you develop your arguments drawing on academic sources such as relevant theories and management models. You may also find it helpful to draw on suitable examples in developing your arguments. • Conclusion: It is often helpful to summarise the argument that you have made in the body of the report, and use this to present your evaluation; because this evaluation should flow from the argument developed in the body of your text. If you find yourself writing new arguments in your conclusion, you may want to consider whether what you are writing should be in the body of your report.
