Task:

Prepare a critical analysis report of one of these headings

The Reading Material book (RM) contains Recommended Readings and four sections of Topic Readings.

The topic readings section: Section 3 Leadership: Power and Corruption (pages 299 to 366) is to be used for the Autumn 2019 assessment task. The section contains five articles (Reading 3.1 through to Reading 3.5), students should read the articles and then must choose one of them and complete a detailed critical analysis of that chosen paper.

You may refer to other articles (correctly referenced) in the Reading Material book or other recent peer reviewed journal papers. If you rely substantially on a paper not included in the RM you must attach a copy of the paper as an appendix to your assignment.

You must avoid opinion; do provide logical, considered reasons for your analysis of the paper's approach to its subject, assertions and conclusions. Identify the key ideas and concepts being put forward by the author. Rigorously consider the relevance, validity, consistency and logic of the evidence provided by the author to justify his/her ideas or to support the conclusions reached. Discuss any identifiable bias or motive that may have coloured the authors approach or influenced the formulation of the conclusions.

Applications or relevant knowledge from other sources may be used in this discussion provided they are completely referenced. Original and thoughtful comment well substantiated will be highly regarded. Good presentation, structured organisation of the content and clarity of writing are basic expectations for a satisfactory report.
