Assignment Question

Consider a service industry .organisation with which you are familiar. In what areas could this organization b_enefit from benchmarking? With which other organisations could it be usefully benchmarked? What factors might influence effective benchmarking in this service industry context?

Further Guidance

(a) Be careful not to spend too much of your assignment simply describing course concepts or examples. Your emphasis should be on applying the frameworks or concepts to allow you to analyse the issues identified in the question and for this analysis to be a foundation for your subsequent conclusions;

(b) Examples can be from your own experience or from other sources (appropriately referenced);

(c) We also advise that you use the electronic databases (e.g. Business Source Premier and Emerald) in the library to search for additional academic articles which support your answer ;

(d) Remember to reference sources appropriately .

Assessment Criteria

In addition to the criteria outlined above and in the Programme Handbook, students are
expected to demonstrate:

(a) the ability to apply frameworks and concepts from the Benchmarking literature to
‘real world’ cases;

(b) the ability to identify the implications of such an analysis for practice within
organisations; and

(c) the ability to reach a conclusion based upon the analysis of both theory and practice in addressing the question .
