You will develop a comprehensive understanding of information and organisational needs to achieve stakeholder success within project organisations. 2. You will realise strategic importance of knowledge and organisational learning at different levels (e.g. firm level; collective level and individual level etc). 3. You will acquire skills on how to organise and implement support information systems in project settings. 4. You will develop the ability to embed adopted knowledge management strategies to host and project organisations. 5. You will embrace inquisitive thinking, and professional reflexivity. Assessment Overview Project organisation and information management is about the organisational and co-ordinational approaches that enable information exchanges within inter-organisational delivery systems. You will have the opportunity to further explore this topic with peers and tutors through the production of a peerreviewed, conference-type research paper. Assessment Tasks to be completed by Students You are required to individually produce a research paper. This task is worth 100% of the module and will be submitted and assessed electronically. It addresses Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) 1 – 5. You are to individually author a conference-type research paper, then review a selection of similar papers via a simulated peer-review process and finally, where appropriate, edit your research paper in accordance with any useful peer-review comments for final submission. You are to choose any KA7060/AT7022 module-related topic as explored within the weekly delivery themes, such as its core theoretical principles, a variety of practices and contemplative thoughts and reflections of the course syllabus. You are to generate a research question based on your chosen topic, which you will explore through a wide variety of relevant literature. You will identify and critically analyse current issues surrounding the topic. Following your analysis of a broad range of relevant literature and where necessary, secondary data from relevant sources, you are to present a summary of your findings and recommendations for addressing any issues identified. As an option, you may also provide empirical evidence by collecting and analysing primary data. Where this option has been chosen, you must obtain ethical approval with the support of the module team prior to commencing data collection. You may decide to forward your draft research questions to the module tutor(s) for discussion during seminars. Version 2.0 | Page 2 of 5 ABE | Learning and Teaching Your paper should also include an abstract (please see the marking criteria for more information). Having a methodology section is optional and will not count towards your final grade. However, if you decide to add one, it should be a brief description of procedures adopted in the study. A template has been provided in the Assessment folder to guide you in your submission. Additional Instructions: As part of this task, you will peer-review a selection of draft papers written by your colleagues. This peer-review function is a formative task (i.e. no marks are associated with this aspect). However, each student MUST participate in the peer-review process to qualify for submission of the final research paper. You will be required to submit an initial draft of no less than 2000 words to be reviewed by your colleagues. You will also be required to review two draft submissions from your colleagues. This is designed to further expose students to the peer-review process and to enhance the quality of papers produced. There will be a dedicated seminar session on peer-reviewing. It is important that you carefully study the assessment criteria in 3.6 to fully understand the expected content and quality of the research paper. Marks will be awarded based on your ability to meet the specifications of the assessment criteria. 3.4 3.5 Expected Size of Submission You are required to submit a maximum of 4,000 words, which excludes the Abstract, tables, figures, and references/bibliography section. Please refer to the University’s wordcount policy for details using this link https://northumbria-cdn.azureedge.net/-/media/corporate-website/new-sitecoregallery/services/academic-registry/documents/qte/assessment/guidance-for-students/pl013v002-word-limits-policy.pdf?modified=20200803200335. Figures (diagrams, illustrations, photographs etc.) and tables are welcome to support the text, but must be fully incorporated into the submission, integrated, and following the text that fully explains why they are exhibited. The work must form a structured and coherent whole. No contents page or superfluous front matter is required. Only a basic front sheet for the submission is to be provided, that shows the title, and identifies the student number (not name), the total number of words used (excluding references section), and the number of figures/tables used. ‘Footnotes’/’Endnotes’ are permitted, as they can offer sufficient value, providing, their use is minimal, sufficiently concise, and appropriate – they offer only ‘clarifying’ information, or add ‘adjacent’ value to the sentences already written. In other words, they are not to be used to ‘hide’ words that would otherwise normally be expected to be contained within the main body of the text, and their use will be considered in accordance with the University policy regarding word limits. Referencing Style You are to write your coursework using the Cite Them Right version of the Harvard referencing system. An online guide to Cite Them Right is freely available to Northumbria University students at: https://www.citethemrightonline.com/
