1. Abstract 400 words
2. You will need a conclusion. This needs to draw together the findings from your research and the literature review and start to feedback and comment on the possibilities that now arise in terms of meeting the objectives. It should shape the agenda and start to define what it is you now think can be done. It shouldsummarise main points and decide what stance you are taking with respect to the practice /policies under review. It should flow naturally from the earlier work .This section should not introduce new ideas or new debates even if you have discovered new information! If this is the case earlier chapters need reworking. Approximately 1500 words.
3. Recommendations should follow the conclusions. At this stage you move away from a research stance and adopt a leadership stance. Here you will advocate a possible direction for the organisation or sector. It can be specific as to future strategy and policy or it might offer an alternative view and scenario depending on particular future contexts. It should be carefully presented in management terms. Imagine you are presenting to a body of interested organisational managers with different levels of commitment to what you are proposing! It should clearly state what issue / opportunity is being addressed and the impact desired. It should state what should be done and it should say something on the implementation around; resources, barriers, risk, timescales and organisation of the changes. It should not overly direct to further work or decisions otherwise the project is likely to be overly ‘contextual ‘and general and not solution driven. Again no new ideas should be introduced here and it should be clear how the recommendations can be derived from the foregoing work. Approximately 1500 words.
4. The final section you should address personal development. The MBA is about leadership and developing leadership capability. This section should briefly comment on your current stage of development and the challenges you feel you need to consider in going forward in a management career or to develop further. You should aim to identify and map your skills against an established management /leadership framework and comment on the outcome. You are not required to present a detailed personal development plan though you could include such a document in an appendix if you have one and comment on the main points in this section. Approximately 500 words.
The remainder of the dissertation should comprise your research proposal (final) and the bibliography and any appendices that you have chosen to include. Appendices should be carefully selected. They should be referenced in the main body of the study and should clearly relate to and provide further important reference for the reader. They should not be included if they have no central bearing on the study or simply a catalogue of all organisational information you can find.
Please treat all word guides (except the final overall word guide) flexibly as different projects will emphasise different priorities and weightings so these are indicative.
