The purpose of this unit is to develop the ability to think and reflect critically as required by a potential or practising middle manager
note
An ILM Assessment Task provides an opportunity to relate your learning directly to your current organisation. It is recommended that you discuss the assignment with your line manager to explore and agree how the task could be used to support the needs of your employer (as well as evidencing your learning as part of completing your ILM qualification).
If you are not currently working within an organisation, then you may complete this task in relation to an organisation with which you are familiar. This could include experience working in a voluntary capacity
The nominal word count for this assignment is 2500 words: The suggested range is between 2000 and 3000 words, however individuals have different writing styles, and there is no penalty if the word-count range is exceeded.
Be able to critically assess the validity of management theories in relation to own beliefs, attitudes and values
Identify management theories, making clear why they are relevant to your role, and use applicable theoretical models or techniques to critically assess the impact of own beliefs, attitudes and values on the theories to make a judgement.
You are then required to use this critical assessment to evaluate and reach a conclusion as to how someone with different, beliefs, attitudes and values might interpret the theory differently. |
Identify management theories relevant to your role (12 marks) ASSIGNMENT TASK for Unit: Developing Critical Thinking
· · Critically assess the impact of own beliefs, attitudes and values on a management theory relevant to your role (24 marks) · Use the critical assessment to evaluate how someone with different beliefs, attitudes and values might interpret the theory differently (24 marks)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSESSMENT AND USE OF MARK SHEET
Assessment must be conducted with reference to the assessment criteria (AC). In order to pass the unit, every AC must be met. Assessors will normally award marks for every AC and then total them into a percentage. However, for greater simplicity, there is the option to not use marks at all and merely indicate with a ‘Pass’ or ‘Referral’ in the box (below right). In order to pass the unit every AC must receive a ‘Pass’ Where marks are awarded according to the degree to which the learner’s evidence in the submission meets each AC, every AC must be met, i.e. receive at least half marks (e.g. min 10/20). Any AC awarded less than the minimum produces an automatic referral for the submission (regardless of the overall mark achieved). Sufficiency descriptors are provided as guidance. If 20 marks are available for an AC and the evidence in the submission approximates to the ‘pass’ descriptor, that indicates it should attract 10 marks out of 20, if a ‘good pass’ then ca. 15 out of 20. The descriptors are not comprehensive, and cannot be, as there are many ways in which a submission can exceed or fall short of the requirements.
