the first hour after the deadline. Submissions that are more than one hour late but
within the first 24 hours of the deadline will incur a penalty of ten marks. After the first 24 hours have passed, ten marks will be deducted for every 24 hours (or part
thereof) that the submission is late for a total of 5 days. After 5 days it is treated as a non-submission and given a mark of zero. The consequences of non-submission are serious and can include de-registration from the University.
If you are unable to complete your open assessment by the submission date
indicated above because of Exceptional Circumstances you can apply for an
extension. If unforeseeable and exceptional circumstances do occur, you must seek support and provide evidence as soon as possible at the time of the occurrence.
Applications must be made before the deadline to be considered.
Full details of the Exceptional Circumstances Policy and claim form can be found here:https://www.york.ac.uk/students/studying/progress/exceptional-circumstances
If you submit your open assessment on time but feel that your performance has been
affected by Exceptional Circumstances you may submit an Exceptional
Circumstances Affecting Assessment claim form by 7 days from the published assessment submission deadline. If you do not submit by the deadline indicated without good reason your claim will not be considered.
Please take proper precautions to safeguard your work and remember to make backup copies of your data. The University provides all its students with storage space on the University server and you should save and back up any work in progress on this server on a regular basis. Computer failure and theft of your equipment or storage media are not considered exceptional circumstances and extensions cannot be granted for work lost for these reasons.
Word count requirements
The word count for this assignment is 3000 words.
You must state on the front of your assignment the number of words used and this will be checked.
The main text for this assignment must be word-processed in Arial, font 12, double spacing, minimum 2cm margins all around.
You must observe the word count specified in this assignment brief. The School has a policy of accepting variations to the recommended word count of plus or minus
10%.
What does this mean for you?
Markers will mark your work up to the word count maximum plus 10% and then will stop marking; therefore all words which are in excess of the word count plus 10% will not be marked.
Where your word count is more than 10% below that specified, it is likely that this will result in a lack of analytical depth or relevant content, which will be reflected in the mark assigned.
What is in the word count?
The word count includes:
- the main text, including in-text reference citations and quotations. The word count does not include:
- Appendices. These may be used to include supporting data, which may be too detailed or complex to include as a Table. They are not a device to incorporate material, which would otherwise cause you to exceed the word limit.
- Title page
- Contents page
- Abstract/executive summary
- Tables, figures, legends
- Reference lists

Assignment:
Drawing on TWO of the module themes listed below (a-i), provide analysis of an organisation of your choice
a) Space and Materiality
b) Control
c) Culture
d) Leadership
e) Diversity
f) Consumption
g) Emotion
h) Wellbeing
i) Knowledge and Learning
Guidance:
You must select 2 themes and use them to provide insights into the functioning of your chosen organisation (For example, you may choose to demonstrate how Space and Materiality can help us understand the employment practices, or work processes, or management decisions, or societal impact of your chosen organisation).
You can choose an organisation that has been discussed in the module, such as Air BnB, Google, or Facebook. Alternatively, choose an organisation with which you are familiar, and would be suitable for analysis using TWO of the themes above.
You MUST engage with literature and sources from the module, and the sources list provided.
A good answer will do the following:
● Make it clear at the outset which TWO of the above concepts are being considered
● Provide a brief and clear introduction to your chosen organisation, and why a particular aspect of its functioning is of interest.
● Have a clear structure which will address things like introduction, organisation description, theory exposition, analysis of organisational functioning through use of theory, critique of theory, and final conclusions (based on evidence presented).
● Draw on academic sources (e.g. journals and academic books) as well as organisational reports and case study material
● Be word processed, double spaced, spell and grammar checked
● Be submitted on time
A poor answer may (amongst other things) exhibit the following flaws:
● Poor narrative flow
● Failure to adequately consider themes & theory
● Not use sources which align with perspectives of the module
● Failure to adequately apply themes and theory to chosen organisation
● Poor reference selection (e.g. web based, lecture notes)
● Poor presentation
