Project Preparation

Q1 Plan, execute and report on a literature search strategy on a topic of your choice. Your report should include a discussion of the following:
a) The reason for the search e.g you want to find out how other countries manage
vocational education.
b) How you aim to conduct your search e.g. where you will look for appropriate
literature.
c) The search terms used and a summary of what the searches found.
d) A review of the nature of the literature found using up to 30 examples, i.e. 5 are
government reports, 13 represent academic research etc.
e) A selection of 5 items which you feel would be a good starting point for your area of
interest. Please state why?
Q,2 Suggest a methodology for understanding why employees of a large multi-national
company do not seem to be keen to apply for senior roles which are widely advertised within
the organization?

You should reference ‘in the text’ academic material which has helped you to approach
the search stage and the 5 items under section e. Full references should be placed at the
end.
