4 MGT8002 – Strategic management

Assessment criteria – assignment 1

Case study: ‘Sony Corporation: Restructuring Continues, Problems Remain’ (Johnson, G, Whittington, R & Scholes, K, 2011, pp. 724–27).

Case study questions:

Academic references may include refereed journal articles, academic books, and government reports. You should avoid using references sourced directly from the internet (i.e. references with http://www … addresses) as these references have dubious academic value. Practitioner magazines, business publications (i.e. Fortune or Business Review Weekly) and newspaper articles may be used for illustrative purposes only (i.e. they may not be used to support your main argument but materials in them may be summarised to provide very brief examples). As a postgraduate student in a university, you are expected to produce work to high academic standards. Written material must be presented well, be thoroughly researched, contain appropriate references, and demonstrate considerable thought and appreciation of the subject matter.
