Module Description
The module is assessed by two pieces of coursework.
1. Personal reflection on the Myers-Briggs (up to 1500 words, worth 40% of module mark). Submission date expected to be Thursday 18 November 2021. The full coursework brief will be published on the module Moodle site.
2. Scenario based report (up to 2000 words, worth 60% of module mark). Submission date expected to be Thursday 13 January 2022. In-depth discussion and evaluation of the Myers-Briggs theory. The full coursework brief will be published on the module Moodle site.
This module introduces students to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) an internationally recognised model of personality. Students will learn the fundamental structure and concepts used in the MBTI as well as developing an understanding of their own personality type according to the theory. The theory is then applied to a variety of work issues.
It is expected that students will engage reflexively and critically with the MBTI and their own type. There is a well developed knowledge base around MBTI, along with more critical material. Students will be assessed on their assessment of academic debates as well on personal reflections on the benefit of the MBTI.
Topics to be covered will include detailed description of the history, origins and ethical foundations of the MBTI, detailed explication the theory itself, and sessions applying this theory of personality to teams, communication, conflict, stress and careers.

Module Outline
The Research Project module builds further on the knowledge and understanding of research philosophy, design and data analysis students gained in BE231 Business Research Methods as it gives an opportunity to the final year students to carry out an independent research project to focus on a topic of their choice in relation to the degree course.
Undergraduate students at Essex Business School (Southend Campus) are expected to complete a research project in the final year of their degree. The project can take a variety of forms but unlike other assignments it involves you conducting and writing-up a piece of original research. This final research project will be supported by the knowledge and understanding of research methods gained in BE231 Business Research Methods.
The undergraduate Research Project is the equivalent of one term module in your degree course and is expected to be about 4000 to 5000 words in length. The project runs in parallel with your other third year modules, you will need to apply and be granted ethical approval by the University in order to undertake primary data collection (details and information on Ethical Approval process are available on Moodle).
The supervisor must be assigned by the Group. Once the project has been accepted, the student is advised to meet with their supervisor on a regularly basis. The student must undertake a considerable part of the basic research for the project during the spring term. In the autumn term by week 6, students must decide their research project topic.
The project can take a variety of forms, ranging from empirical research using methods such as surveys, questionnaires, interviews and content analysis to library based theoretical work. The students will find that this can be a most worthwhile learning experience, and a good project is a useful reference for postgraduate study as well as outside employment.
Module Aims
The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to manage a research project from beginning to end under the guidance of an individual supervisor.
In developing the research project students will be using the framework for research skills and the boundaries of their research identified in Business Research Methods module. Students will be expected to draw on appropriate literature to construct a research framework and theoretical context, explain the logic of research methodology, data collection and draw relevant empirical findings.

Module Description
This module seeks to explore a range of theoretical, philosophical and methodological approaches to postgraduate research with a specific focus on the literature search and review phase of a research project. The module will look closely at the process of writing an academic literature review. Alongside this, students will develop skills in reviewing and critically analysing academic texts, developing insights on research methodology and epistemology that will be developed in later (Spring term) modules. Students will be guided in their study through intensive workshop sessions, but are also expected to undertake a substantial programme of self-directed study, including searching for, reading and reviewing relevant literature. This self-directed study forms an important part of the delivery of the module, and is built in to the schedule below. Assessment will be based on two written pieces of coursework completed at the end of the module. Full details of the assessment are given below, and additional guidance is available on the Moodle page.
Module Aims
This module aims to help students to be able to:
1. Critically evaluate academic texts and review bodies of literature.
2. Understand reflexivity and its relationship to the literature review process.
3. Comprehend different epistemological positions and their relationship to theory, research design and the selection of appropriate methods of data collection and analysis.
4. Appreciate the relationship between literature and research questions.
5. Develop the skills and understanding needed to be able to produce an academic literature review.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to demonstrate:
1. Skills in critically evaluating academic texts and bodies of literature.
2. The capacity to adopt a reflexive approach to research, being able to examine, and develop a critique of, different ways of engaging with and responding to literature.
3. An informed understanding of the relationship between academic literature, the formulation of research questions and the selection of appropriate methods of data collection and analysis.
4. An informed understanding of the relationship between alternative
epistemological positions and research design.
5. The capacity to produce an academic literature review in a chosen area of study.
Skills for academic and professional life (transferable skills)
In addition to the above Learning Outcomes, this module will also contribute to students' development of the following employability skills:
* Written communication
* Critical analysis
* Management and organization of resources
* Oral communication and discussion
* Research skills
* Teamwork and collaboration
* Digital and technical fluency
* Innovation and curiosity
