Component 1: Action Research Project Report
You are required to submit a 10,000 word action research project report via Canvas at module end. You submit it to the Component 1 submission point for Element 010, accessed via the ‘Assignments’ tab on Canvas. The report is marked out of 100 marks and is weighted at 80%.

In undertaking the project, students are expected to:
(i) source their own opportunity or idea,
(ii) develop a case for why this opportunity to idea is worthy of consideration as a project, particularly in terms of its value to the appropriate community of practice,
(iii) develop a project plan to ensure completion within the identified timescales,
(iv) acquire the appropriate resources and internal and external support to develop and deliver the project,
(v) manage the project in terms of moving from idea to action and
(vi) reflect on the development of the project against key themes in the academic and grey (i.e. policy and practice) literature related to being enterprising, the role of the individual in moving an idea from concept to action; and the influence of the entrepreneurial task environment.
