这是一篇来自英国的作业代写，需要分析您的公司在模拟期间的表现

Aims of this assignment:

• This individual assignment invites you to analyse the performance of your company during the simulations, what worked well, what did not work well, and why.

• The assignment invites you to provide a comprehensive account of how your company performed in the simulation and analyse it with the use of theories and concepts from three business areas.

• The focus should be the performance of YOUR COMPANY, not your individual contribution or the dynamics of your team.

Task:

You are asked to write a 4000-word essay in which you:

i) Analyse the performance of your company in the business simulation.

ii) Critically evaluate your team’s key decisions and how they shaped the performance of your business.

iii) Frame and support your analysis using the concepts and materials from three of the seven business areas covered in BiP: Strategy, Marketing, Finance, Operations, HR,Innovation and Sustainability.

Guidance

• You can choose any three business areas from those listed above, even if they don’t include the role that you played in the BiP simulation. You can deal with each function separately but MUST provide an overall analysis which emphasises the interdependencies across functions.

• Use data from the simulation to support your analysis. You will have access to your company’s information on the simulation platform throughout the summer.

• Charts are welcome as illustrations of points made. However, only include charts that are integral to your analysis. As such, they should be discussed in the main body of your essay and clearly labelled with a figure heading. Please avoid any charts or figures without headings or explanations.

• You must show engagement with the academic literature relevant for each academic session, and make sure you cite and reference this literature as the source for the analytical frameworks you apply.

• You are encouraged to use other relevant materials from your other modules, or that you have identified through independent research.

1. Introduction, review of the company and structure of essay (400 wds)
2. Review of function 1: using simulation data and academic concepts (800 wds)
3. Review of function 2: using simulation data and academic concepts (800 wds)
