A summary of the entire report (not an introduction – a summary)

Introduction (about 300 words)

An introduction ‘sets the scene’. By that I mean it introduces the topics and tries to engage the reader. Then the introduction should state the aim of the assignment and how it will be structured.

Analysis (about 1,500 – 1,800 words)

Use sub-headings where appropriate

You need to analyse and critically discuss how work groups and teams, power and politics, or conflict and negotiation are affecting the firm’s culture (you would need to choose a model (or maybe two) to analyse the culture of your organisation) and the way in which employees are managed.

Conclusion (100 – 200 words)
