coursework_assignment_brief_ii.docxAssignment guidance – E14
The guidance below is meant to assist you in the production of your assignment and is not intended to be a complete instruction of what you should do. Please use this as an aid to your own research and construction of the coursework.
1. Start with a front page that clearly shows your name, student number, module details, title and word count.
2. The next page should be a contents list showing everything that is included and which page number it can be found on.
3. Introduction – This will introduce your work to the reader and should explain what the assignment is about. For this assignment you could firstly explain what process technology and e-business are and use a source from one of the text books to support this. You should also introduce your chosen company, who they are and what they do. As a guide this should only use around 300 words.
4. Main Body – This is where you will start to identify how your chosen business uses process technology and e-business to enhance and improve what it does in terms of operations capacity and capability. Depending on the company used, you could critically evaluate how they have developed their use of this, integrated the technology or what they are looking to do next. Please try to refer to the slides on blackboard as previously announced. Use sub-headings to break down this section and be critical of how process technology and e-business can or has added value to the business but also the pitfalls of this.
5. Conclusion – Here you should comment on the topic and how this is now being adopted by all organisations as consumer demands for products and services, and the way in which they are provided and made available, is constantly being adapted and improved.
6. Reference list – I expect to see a minimum of 6 sources used correctly i.e. cited and referenced using the Harvard style.
7. You may also choose to include an appendices section where you will locate any relevant material but please ensure that you refer to it correctly within your text.
8. Finally, please only include pictures, diagrams, graphs or charts within your text if it adds value and you must refer to it and cite it correctly.
GOOD LUCK
