Attempt to use references in text and list, not always following Harvard system. Evidence of some reading.

C

Part A: Overall general understanding of development of managerial theories shown but with little ability to make links across topics and synthesise learning. Part B: Either content or process theories of motivation are discussed. The application to the work in a team is very weak.

Limited description of techniques to improve teamwork. Theoretical background is missing.

Own actions and behaviours have not been clearly embedded in the CVF. Both parts: Some structure detectable, but not very coherent or logical.
