Assignment One you have recommended J.J. Richards to produce
sustainability reports to external stakeholders. To follow up, the CEO asks
completing a second business report to address his following requirements.
1. Why should J.J. Richards provide sustainability report?
2. To whom should these reports be addressed?
3. What information should be reported?
4. How should the information be reported?
whom, what and how information should be reported.
CASE 研究代写 sustainability reports to external stakeholders
ssignment Two has a focus on external reporting and applying a
theoretical framework to sustainable management. To successfully
complete this assignment, your readings should start with, but not be
limited to, the Component Two materials (Topics 4-6) of the course. You
need to search for materials that are outside of prescribed texts and these
materials form the base of your assignment.
Your recommendations on the sustainability report are expected to be
supported by one theory (i.e. legitimacy theory, institutional theory, the
ethical branch of stakeholder theory, or the managerial branch of
stakeholder theory) that you have studied in Topic 4. To apply a theory
well, it is suggested that you explain the theory first. Applying more than
one theory is not recommended as you will need to justify why one theory
is not sufficient and explain the second theory well (this will take up your
word limit).
Accounting for Sustainable Management - Assignment 9
The theory that you choose to apply should be explicitly applied to your
discussion on all of the four questions asked by the CEO. That is, the chosen
theory and the relevant concepts need to be explained by referring to
relevant literature from academic journals (addressing Q1); the chosen
theory will direct discussion in identifying the users of the report
(addressing Q2) and the associate expectations and information needs of
the users identified (addressing Q3); and, the adopting of a specific
reporting guideline need to be justified by the chosen theory (addressing
Q4). Please note that different theories will derive different answers of the
questions. The link between your theory and your answer (i.e., the way you
apply the chosen theory) to each question needs to be explicit and specific.
To demonstrate your problem-solving skills, it is strongly suggested that you
link your analysis and argument specifically to J.J. Richards. Avoid being
too general. Using the findings from your Assignment One, identify specific
sustainability issues that J.J. Richards is facing as well as providing
recommendations on how to report these issues. The most important skill
that you are expected to develop from this task is your reasoning skill and
application skill. That is, you are expected to justify your arguments in the
context of J.J. Richards.
As this assignment is a group assignment it is suggested that you plan and
form a group early. Find out the way and times that suit your group
members to communicate with each other, clearly work out the group
member’s tasks and responsibilities. Although initially you might allocate
each member a different task to complete it is highly recommended that all
group members actively work together participating each task and working
out the best options for the whole assignment. Make sure that your group
leaves enough time for final shaping up of the assignment.
Read carefully the marking rubric (next page), and understand how your
work will be assessed.
