Your assignment is to produce an essay that adds value to the content of the first part of the course. This can be a critique of some part of the course or some set of readings, an extension, an example, an application of the ideas we explored to some new context, a new theory of your own, etc. Ideally, the value that you add can be used in future iterations of this class.
All lectures attached, as well as downloadable readings. Further readings and course content structure (with links) can be found in the document labelled “Course Material and Readings”.
The audience you should write for is one of your peers in the class who has attended lectures, done the readings, and participated in class discussions. Thus you should not explain in the paper anything that such a person would be expected to know. You should also not assume that your reader is familiar with material that is not covered in the course. You are welcome to focus narrowly on some particular aspect of the course that interests you, or more broadly on the big themes that we addressed.
You may bring to bear additional data, academic analyses, but this is definitely not required. However, if there is some easily obtainable fact or piece of information that is relevant to your argument, I would expect you to try to find it. You should not bring to bear your own personal and professional experiences or material that you have learned in other EMBA courses; that will come in a later assignment.
Essays should be no more than 800 words in length (slightly more than three pages double spaced, using standard fonts and margins). That is not many words, so you should not waste them. Your essay should be well structured, with arguments introduced in a logical fashion. You should not discuss your ideas for the essay with other students in the course.
