Order Description When writing your essay, you may wish to consider the following: • The perspective on management taken by Fayol; • The rationale behind Fayol’s argument; • Other perspectives on management; • Different approaches to the study of management taken by different authors; • Your essay should be analytical and discursive, not simply a description and comparison of Fayol’s and the work of others; • Be wary of internet sources – anyone can put anything on the internet so it doesn’t mean it is right; such sources, especially student essays, often have serious flaws! • The front cover must clearly state your name and student number; module title and number; tutor, and word count. • Essay must be word-processed in Arial font size 12 and 1.5 line spaced. • Evidence of reading is important and therefore sources (reference) must be correctly cited in the text and fully referenced in the reference list at the end of the Essay. The essay must draw upon established literature on the subject area, and be referenced appropriately.
