Based Reflection Requiring Significant Depaul Uni

Reflective (research-based) Report (2000 words).
You will identify what you have personally learnt about family business ‘issues’ from being
involved in the writing and acting out the play (will attach it. I PLAY THE ROLE OF GHITA) Your learning will also be assessed in the degree
to which learning is related to models and concepts discussed during the course of the
module. This is a research-based reflection requiring significant academic research and
analysis. It is not merely a personal reflection about being involved with the play, therefore
academic research and academic citations are required throughout the report.

The ‘reflective (research-based) report’ should be reflective in style (using a named reflective model e.g.
Kolb, Gibbs, etc) but research-based thus connecting academic theory to experiences covering:

a) the problematical issue/situation identified by your group and acted out in the play

b) the feedback received during the formative stage from your peers, in your case everyone liked the solution you came up with

c) your subsequent reflections about the views of other students’ (their experience of, and
opinions on) of your particular issue/situation.

Therefore, you are expected to deal with 3 key points in a 2000 word reflective (research-based) report:

1. What is the family issue/situation/problem?
Summarize the issue/situation (i.e. the “issue” or “situation” which you acted out with
your group in the formative play)

2. How did you solve the issue/situation/problem?
Analyze it from your own point of view (not that of the group), for example by finding
new examples of situations where it might occur (relating it to other family businesses),
by discussing your own experience of it (either academic, or from own family business,
or other cases you are familiar with) and by relating it to other issues which may not
have been addressed in the play.

3. What did others think about your solution?
Discuss the views of the class on it, and various solutions offered (not just your own
group’s) and state how (if at all) your views on that issue have changed, following the
discussion in class. (in your case, everyone agreed that it is the best solution so state the other possible solutions that you could have come up with)
