The two hot themes currently that company try to deal with are ‘’Covid turnaround" or "digital disruption". So you can choose any company that goes through one of these challenges. This can be your own company, family company, an SME, a large corporation, an NGO etc. Some examples can be for you to choose from:  Boohoo who have big Covid factory issues and were struggling to beat Asos, Zalando, Zara, H&M. Your consultancy company works closely with universities. For this reason, your manager instructs you to write a report using a given structure and style that would appeal to both academics and business people.

Referencing requirements for assignments
Statements, assertions and ideas made in coursework should be supported by citing relevant sources. Sources cited in the text should be listed at the end of the assignment in a reference list. Any material that you read but do not cite in the report should go into a separate bibliography. All referencing should be in Westminster Harvard format. If you are not sure about this, the library provides guidance (available via the library website pages).
Difficulties in submitting assignments on time
If you have difficulties for reasons beyond your control (e.g. serious illness, family problems etc.) that prevent you from submitting the assignment, make sure you apply to the Mitigating Circumstances board with evidence to support your claim as soon as possible. The WBS Registry or your personal tutor can advise on this.
Anonymous marking: Submitting your coursework – checks
For group assessment students should use student ID rather than names to identify group members.
Unless indicated otherwise, coursework is submitted via Blackboard. On the Blackboard home page for the module you will find a button on the menu called ‘Submit Coursework’. Clicking this will take you to the submission link.
At busy times the coursework submission process may run slowly. To ensure that your submission is not recorded as a late submission, avoid submitting very close to the deadline.
To submit your assignment:
Log on to Blackboard at  http://learning.westminster.ac.uk;
Go to the Blackboard site for this module;
Click on the ‘Submit Coursework’ link in the navigation menu on the left-hand side
Click on the link for the assignment;
Follow the instructions.
Remember:
It is a requirement that you submit your work in this way. All coursework must be submitted by 13.00 (1.00 p.m.) UK time on the due date.
If you submit your coursework late but within 24 hours or one ‘working’ day of the specified deadline, 10% of the overall marks available for that assessment will be deducted as a penalty for late submission, except for work which is marked in the range 50-59%, in which case the mark will be capped at the pass mark (50%).
If you submit your coursework more than 24 hours or more than one ‘working’ day after the specified deadline you will be given a mark of zero for the work in question.
The University’s mitigating circumstances procedures relating to the non-submission or late submission of coursework apply to all coursework.
If you are unclear about this, speak to your class leader or module leader.
Academic integrity
What you submit for assessment must be your own current work. It will automatically be scanned through a text matching system to check for possible plagiarism.
Do not reuse material from other assessments that you may have completed on other modules. Collusion with other students (except when working in groups), recycling previous assignments (unless this is explicitly allowed by the module leader) and/or plagiarism (copying) of other sources all are offences and are dealt with accordingly. If you are not sure about this, then speak to your class leader.
