Assignment – Introduction
You are required to produce an academic report of 2000-3000 words (excluding
appendices and references). The report should use appropriate concepts taken from this
module to provide critical appraisal of one of the following:
1. The organisation or part of the organisation, or a project or situation at your
current place of work.
2. The organisation or part of the organisation, or a project or situation at a previous
workplace of yours.
3. The organisation or part of the organisation, or a project or situation at a
workplace where you are not working and have not worked previously, but to
which you have suitable access for this assessment.
You must provide an appropriate background of the concepts of knowledge management,
using literature in the proper manner. You should provide a brief description of the
situation you will be using for your critical appraisal. These are both necessary conditions
but are not sufficient. You must link the concepts to the situation you are appraising and
use the concepts to provide the appraisal.
You may choose to handle this assessment in a variety of ways. For example, you might
take an overview of knowledge management and/or choose to focus on one concept of
knowledge management, such as knowledge sharing, and use this as your basis.
Whatever you choose you must justify your choices.
