A warm welcome to the Sustainable Development and Competitive Advantage course at Reims Management School!

In the course syllabus, you will note that 30% of the assessment is allocated to “Analysis of a journal article or company performance” and that this is an individual assignment.

This is where this blog comes in …

Between now and midnight (GMT + 1hr) on Friday 24 July, this is your space to make a contribution to your peers’ learning. Put simply, your task is to analyse, critically, articles and news reports. Other than this, I will not be too prescriptive! Indeed, this would be counter to the whole idea of a blog which is to provide an outlet for your creativity. The only real condition is that your posts must have something to do with sustainable development and competitive advantage!

In terms of grades, I will be looking for quality rather than quantity. In other words, huge slabs of text cut-and-pasted from web sites are unlikely to earn you high marks, nor will “Me too” or “I agree” responses. The main thing I am looking for is evidence of your powers of analysis and synthesis. This might be:

1. Challenging a point of view/forwarding a new perspective;
2. Relating the theory to one’s experience;
3. Offering support for a position based on the literature; and
4. Contributing to peers’ understanding.

One final point: it is quite acceptable for your contributions to be ‘comments’. It is not imperative that you initiate a blog topic.

Between now and midnight (GMT + 1hr) on Friday 18 November, this is your space to make a contribution to your peers’ learning. Your task, simply, is to analyse, critically, articles and news reports. Other than this, I will not be too prescriptive! Indeed, this would be counter to the whole idea of a blog which is to provide an outlet for your creativity. Suffice to say that your posts must have something to do with sustainable development and competitive advantage! To find out how to blog, follow this link which provides you with some screenshots.

Between now and the final exam, this is your space to make a contribution to group learning. Your task, simply, is to analyse, critically, articles and news reports. Other than this, I will not be too prescriptive — as this would be counter to the essence of a weblog — suffice to say that your posts must have something to do with sustainable development and competitive advantage!

In terms of grades, I will be looking for quality rather than quantity. That is, huge slabs of text cut-and-pasted from web sites are unlikely to earn you high marks, nor will “Me too” or “I agree” responses. The main thing I am looking for is good, critical analysis. This might be:
1. Challenging a point of view
2. Forwarding a new perspective
3. Relating theory to one’s experience; or
4. Offering support for a position based on the literature.
One final point: it is quite acceptable for your contributions to be ‘comments’. It is not imperative that you initiate a blog topic. Note, however, that your comments have to be ‘approved’ before they will be viewable on screen. This is not because your opinions need to be censored, it’s just that blogs receive a lot of spam (some of it rather unsavoury) so it has to be weeded out.
