You will need to clearly communicate your ideas and critique the ideas of others. Assessment 3 is in two parts and this is Part B.
In Part A, the thinking focused on strategic issues from modules five and six in relation to management, people and teams, whilst forcing you to integrate the underlying principles discussed in earlier modules.
