Corporate social responsibility in any multinational company(UK)

Final year project – Corporate social responsibility in any multinational company(UK)

how news going to effect the multi nation company, need to find news on the company The Final report is your chance to go into more detail and explore in greater depth
(using academic
research evidence) the Question (and sub questions) you presented in the Initial Proposal.
 You will now explore/address the questions using academic research evidence.
 The emphasis now is to explore these in detail and present some detailed answers and
explanations in response to your question and sub questions.
 You will rely completely on published academic research literature – i.e. journal articles.
8.1 The Final Report: What will you need to do?
The ‘Final Report’ is divided into two sections.
Section A (word limit: 5,000 words) – A Critical Review of academic research literature – exploring
the Question (and sub questions) you presented in the Initial Proposal.
Section B (word limit: 2,000 words) – An analysis of the potential usefulness, implications and impact
of what you have found/concluded in your critical review; recommendations and reflection.
BRP Final Report (Section A and B) Weighting
Overall the Final Report is worth 70% of the BRP unit.
Within the Final report, Section A will account for 70% of the marks and Section B will account for 30%.
As with the Initial proposal, a Bibliography is required at the end of the Final Report (and will include all
references used in Section A and B). You will need to reference accurately throughout the work using
APA 6th edition.

8.2 Final Report Structure
Number of references: it is difficult to request a specific number of references from all students.
However, it may be difficult to produce a good Final Report with less than 20 references to different
papers in academic journals, in addition to any other sources used. Using 20 or more does not
guarantee a good grade – it is how you use them that counts.
Section A: (word limit: 5,000 words)
 Overview (up to 500 words)
 Introduce Section A. Provide a short summary of the initial proposal, and the overall view you
developed about the topic. Reiterate why the questions are worth exploring further using
research evidence. Present the question and sub questions.
 Critical Review of Academic Research Evidence (up to 3,500 words)
 You will provide a detailed critical literature review – in response to your Question (and sub
questions). It will be analytical rather than descriptive.
 Your sub questions may help you structure your work. You are advised to address each sub
question one at a time.
 You will need to think carefully and critically about what is known and what is not known in
relation to your question.
 Avoid description. Instead, try to analyse, discuss, critique, question and develop arguments
within your work. Critically review the literature, rather than just report what it says.
 The opinions, statements, assertions and arguments you present, will be the result of careful
consideration and analysis of the evidence in the journal papers.
 Reference using APA 6th edition.
 Conclusions (up to 1,000 words)
 You will conclude with what you have found / discovered. You will need to ensure that you
respond directly to your question. Remember, your sub questions helped you do this – so refer
to your main question and the sub-questions in this section.
 Your conclusions will be well considered and well thought through.
 You will need to consider the extent to which your review (and analysis) of academic knowledge
helps you provide answers to your question.
 You should include references to the literature where appropriate, to support conclusions.
Section B: (word limit: 2,000 words)
 Usefulness, potential Implications and Impact (up to 1,000 words)
 Following the Section A; you will evaluate the usefulness of what you have found/concluded to
the “business world‟ (e.g. industry/organisations/businesses/employees/policy makers).
 You stated in your Initial proposal why you thought this area was worth exploring. Now you can
discuss the extent to which what you have actually discovered may be useful. You can link back
to the Initial Proposal to some of the points you made (and the conventional wisdom on the
topic).
 You should consider: what are the implications of my work? How might the knowledge I have
uncovered/concluded with, have an impact?
 Include references (using APA 6th edition) to support your statements.
 Research Recommendations (up to 400 words)
 In this section you will recommend what researchers could do (i.e. future research
topics/methods/research design) to address any knowledge gaps you identified, and explore
issues further.
 Reference (using APA 6th edition) areas of research you think could be developed.
 Reflection (up to 600 words)
 Finally, you will comment on what you have learnt from doing this project; what skills you feel
you have developed; how the project has affected your employability.

8.3 Advice
The Critical Review will gather momentum as you read more and think more about what you are
reading. As you understand more and more, you will probably start to think about the question (and sub
questions) in a different light, and may realise there are perspectives/ways of thinking about the topic
you did not expect.
You have to stay within your discipline – business/management/strategy/marketing/HRM related journals
– would be appropriate for the BRP. Try to review literature within the domain of Business. If you find
yourself reading academic papers from biology, archaeology, astrology or physics based journals – you
have gone off track!
Your conclusions:
Your conclusions will contain limitations and will not be “the” definitive and final answers to the questions
you explore – but they will be well reasoned and the result of thorough analysis of academic research
literature. Your opinions, statements, assertions and arguments will be the result of careful consideration
and analysis of the evidence in the sources (as much as possible they will not be based on common
sense or taken for granted assumptions) and your conclusions will be well considered.
Make your assumptions explicit where possible, and give some thought to the limitations of your
conclusions.
It will be very, very unlikely you can conclude that X, Y or Z is, without doubt, the reason, or the answer
to something – instead, as a result of your analysis and discussion, you may feel more confident than
you did before undertaking this project, in stating that you think (given what you have explored and
analysed) one conclusion is more likely than another. You can comment on whether this contrasts with
perspectives found in the Initial Proposal – and why that might be.More information on the unit hand book
