In this assessment you will be required to write a review on a specific area of the firm's performance.

You an area e.g. marketing and you are required to write a succinct, (500 - 800 words) but comprehensive review and analysis of your firm's management performance in that area over the last six years of operations.

You must examine the success or otherwise of the area's design score indicators nominated and you will need to explain how the decisions and actions taken in that area assisted (or otherwise) to the overall success of the firm's strategy implementation.

This can be done in a number of different ways e.g. comparison against competitors and/or comparison of performance against what you set out in the strategic plan.
