PHILOSOPHY, SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY & BUSINESS FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Undergraduate Level
2011-2012
Students should work alone to develop an individual essay (expected length: 2.500 words; +/- 10%)
PROJECT GUIDELINE
Choose one of the following four positions to critically evaluate, drawing from philosophical, sociological AND psychological perspectives.
1.	Businesses are social institutions because trade is a social act, affecting people and society
2.	Businesses have no moral obligations as they are not individuals capable of responding to moral ideas
3.	Businesses should not be bailed out by governments in a free market economy
4.	Businesses have contributed to the welfare of people and society through increased division of labour.
EXPECTATION
Explore the concepts stated above, state your aims, define terms and parameters clearly. Marks will be given for synthesizing theoretical perspectives and citing relevant scholars within the fields of philosophy, sociology and psychology, to critically evaluate the stated positions.
Evidence your understanding of the terms and concepts of the course overall and the statements above specifically, to demonstrate critical analysis of the statements, and of common assumptions about business. Critically evaluate contributions to the understanding of business by the fields of philosophy, sociology and psychology. A personal perspective may be included if it adds value to the argument(s) developed or ideas explored.
The responses should be well presented, coherent and clear throughout, with explicit associations made between any source material and the argument(s) being developed. Assertions should be well qualified, evidenced or justified, and the responses should be free of any assumptions or generalisations, thus demonstrating critical enquiry about fundamental notions of business. Specific examples should be included where appropriate, and references should be cross referenced where possible. Language should be suitably restrained and academic.

The responses should be well structured and include an introduction which clearly states intent, an exploration, development, elimination, clarification and distillation of their arguments, a conclusion which ties together the ideas and argument presented as well as evaluating the opening intent and inclusion of ideas for how you could improve (this could be through methodology, exploring different source material or a different angle, etc).
An electronic copy sent to [email protected] as well as to the university email address ([email protected]) and you need to submit on www.turnitin.com
The plan should be prepared as a neatly typed Word document (Times New Roman 12 points), with double spacing and page numbering, pay attention to presentation/layout.
The title page should include the name of the course, the title of the project, the student- matriculation number, the tutor- name and the date.
The table of contents should include all the headings with appropriate page numbers, except for the Bibliography and the Appendices
Literature citations (references) and a bibliography are required for all source materials. The purpose of an accurate citation is to allow readers access to the materials upon which the students draw. Casual references to alternative sources (e.g., web pages that can be accessed through a quick Google search) will not be rewarded. Critical evaluation of the source material will.
