Assignment:
Reflecting on the topics covered in this module and your engagement with the teaching sessions and associated readings and materials:
· Critically discuss the key managerial skills that you, as future global manager, should acquire in comparison to traditional managers.
· In your discussion, highlight any gaps in your skills that you have identified from taking this module and explain how you addressed or will address these gap/s for developing your current or future career.
The word count is limited to 2,500 words excluding diagrams, references, and appendices.
Instructions:
· You are required to write a reflective learning report with a focus on the knowledge and skills you have developed on this module.
· A reflective learning report is not a diary for private consumption, a log of daily activities, a summary of your readings in the course, or a track of your psychological state and your inner feelings about life.
· A reflective learning report is an intellectual exercise in reflectively describing and explaining, in applying the theory on learning and competencies to your personal and professional development.
· A reflective learning report is how you apply the material from the module to your development, reflect on it and assess where you currently are and how you could improve in each of these areas.
· The report needs to link theory and development activities to yourself – but should not take time to describe theories – we will know if you understand them by how you apply them in a reflective manner. The higher marks are for those who display critical analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
