For this assignment, you are asked to analyse and de-construct
four readings and to reconcile them to the four perspectives
discussed in the lectures and in Hirsheim and Klein's (1989)
paper.
Assignment 1 CLO
CLO
Description
Relation to the Assignment
CLO1
Identify different analytical perspectives employed to
understand organisations at the individual, social, structural and
systemic levels.
Addresses this PLO. You are expected to identify all four
analytical perspectives, and to be able to demonstrate your
understanding at the individual, social, structural and systemic
levels through the four given readings.
CL02
Interpret and apply these multiple perspectives to empirically
analyse specific organisations and the contexts in which they
operate.
Addresses this PLO, through interpretation and application by
10. classification and therefore demonstrating your mastery of the
perspectives in different organisational contexts.
CLO3
Draw on different analytical perspectives as the basis for a
multidisciplinary approach towards organisational functionality,
political and social relations.
Addresses this PLO, by building your mastery of the four
analytical perspectives.
CLO4
Evaluate knowledge assumptions and come to recognise their
management implications and practical consequences.
Partially addresses. This assignment builds your skills but not
application.
CLO5
Assess and judge how organisational analysis can be used to
engender solutions to organisational challenges that are socially
responsible.
Partially addresses. This assignment builds your skills but not
application.
The first assignment takes you deeper into how you deconstruct
scholarly literature. You have the opportunity to demonstrate
your ability to critically analyse and organise information.
To do well in this assignment, you must demonstrate a good
understanding of how knowledge is legitimised, i.e. how writers
attempt to convince you of their ideas.
Step 1 - learn the four perspectives
One of your required readings is: Hirschheim, R. and Klein, H.
K. (1989). Four Paradigms of Information Systems
Development. Communications of the ACM, 32(10), pp. 1199-
1216. Further, in Lecture Topic 1 four rationales behind
Organisational Analysis were identified and discussed. Use
these two resources to learn the four perspectives of analysis.
Step 2 - Using your understanding of the four perspectives, de-
construct and classify four scholarly readings by critical
11. analysis
Student Name:
Student ID:
Given Paper 1
Question
In your lectures, four rationales for organisational analysis are
described.
1
Critically discuss the argument presented by the author(s).
Answer hints:
· How do the author(s) try to describe their context? (e.g. how
is the narrative presented?)
2
What is the method - how do the author(s) convince their
readers?
Answer hints:
· What data is relied on?
· How is data collected?
· How is data analysed?
· Are the conclusions open to be challenged?
3
Drawing on your answers from analysing Q (1) and (2),
critically analyse and match your analysis to the rational given
in Lecture 1 for Organisational Analysis
Answer hints:
· What rational is best matched to the paper analysed?
12. · Critically discuss your reasoning
Given Paper 2
Remember, this assignment template shows you how to deal
with a varied range of terminology and how you can organise
and reconcile your understanding.
Students should achieve this assignment using 2000 words as a
maximum.
The four readings you must read, analyse and de-construct are:
