Management Assignment- Intelligence

Research for the paper should go beyond the required readings (ideally starting with the recommended readings), and the aim is to demonstrate critical understanding of the topic under consideration, key arguments presented in the relevant literature, and the topic’s applicability to real-world strategic cases. In terms of content, the review should establish the essential features of the topic; demonstrate why and in what ways the topic is important in terms of strategic theory and practice; critically consider different perspectives on the topic as presented in the literature, reflecting on the relative merits of different approaches; and, evaluate the relevance of the topic through reference to empirical historical and contemporary cases. Students are free to interpret their chosen topic in their own way, approach it from a specific angle, or focus on one or more key aspects pertaining to it. But ideas and arguments should be supported with evidence and insights from the relevant literature. The review can also draw off insights relating to the other elements of the trinity where relevant (indeed, in important respects, no one element can be considered independent of the others).
