Use of Harvard referencing and relevant academic sources and presentation

A

Significant ability to identify and select 2 original Ps and construct comparisons through excellent synthesis and critical interpretation of appropriate evidence.

 

 

Exceptional assessment of the chosen 2Ps and how innovation, in these 2 examples, is developed and applied, analysing strategic factors which both contribute and constrain them.

 

Authoritative grasp of disciplinary concepts.

 

Exceptional examination of innovation and the different types of innovation (4P’s) and beyond, e.g. (10Ps) and innovation processes, e.g. technology push, open innovation.

B

Logical demonstration of the identification and selection of 2 original Ps and construction of comparisons through synthesis and critical interpretation of appropriate evidence.

 

Very good assessment of the chosen

2Ps and how innovation, in these 2 examples, is developed and applied, analysing strategic factors which both contribute and constrain them.

Ability to demonstrate well the disciplinary concepts.
