MODULE AIMS

The aim of this module is to explore leadership theory and practice in relation to theories and

leadership roles to inform discussion, enquiry, critical thinking and reflection.

By completing this module, you will be able to:

2. Apply theoretical models of leading innovation and change with your own experience as a

leader

3. Critically review your own performance as a leader of innovation and change

4. Examine your strengths and areas for development

ASSESSMENT DETAILS

Assessment is by one assignment, a critical essay of 6000 words (100%) which integrates

theory and practice. The assignment must include a clear structure with abstract,bibliography, appendices, and diagrammatic representation where appropriate. You must

make appropriate use of journal articles, research papers and texts.

The assignment should contain:

1. A critical review of theories of innovation and change, including the leadership of

innovation and change

2. An evaluation of a successful and less successful innovation / change of which you have

personal experience, related to relevant theory.

3. A reflection on, and assessment of, your own performance as a leader of innovation and

change.

International Organisation Z. Similarly, where you write about private individuals, call them

manager A, or leader B.

N.B. The word count will include quotations but exclude footnotes, bibliography, appendices,

tables and graphs. See the link to word count limits regulations in the Module Handbook.

Review, Journal of Organization Change Management, Management Decision, European

Journal of Innovation Management, and International Journal of Innovation Management..
