Reading and analysis of industry reports __/30 marks
A poor selection of research and little critical
understanding demonstrated in connecting this to the focus and structure of the proposed
research.
Some relevant research has been cited, but there are important gaps. A limited
critical understanding of the readings is shown, and the connections with the overall focus and structure of the proposed research are not
consistent.
A range of relevant research has been cited, though there may be some omissions. A
critical stance has been developed in places.
Appropriate links to the focus and structure of the proposed
research have been made
A range of relevant research has been cited. A critical stance is consistent and
strong links have been made to the focus and structure of
the proposed research.

strong and appropriate critical stance is taken, with excellent and consistent links to the focus and
structure of the proposed research.
Management & research problem, research objectives, and research approach __/30 marks
The research problem, objectives, and approach
make little sense. The arguments are weak and do
not provide a convincing case for the research.
There are some analysis and effort put into presenting a
clear research problem. However, there is a disconnect
between management problem, research problem,
objectives and the approach. Overall, the research direction
is confusing.

capturing the research problems, objectives, and
research approaches in the proposal. This is largely connected to the overall
rationale and focus of the research throughout.
Arguments for the research are somewhat convincing.
The research problem, objectives and approach to
research is strong and develops in a clear and
systematic way, and these are connected very well to the overall rationale and focus of the research. The proposal is
cohesive and convincing.
Excellent analysis, with clear, developed, sustained and
cohesive argument throughout the review and makes complete sense
in relation to the rationale and focus of the proposed research. The management problem links with the overall analysis of the topic and there is a seamless
connection between all elements in the proposal.
