In line with the unit learning outcomes 3 and 4, this 1500-word essay (following academic format), requires you to critically assess the consequential impacts of entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainability (EIS) on business strategy and the managerial skill requirements for leveraging emerging EIS opportunities. A mini-case study, GBR Helicopters, has been prepared to provide a practical context for this task. This is available in Moodle.

To support your argument, your critical analysis should use research from peer-reviewed academic journals, incorporating different perspectives on the statement, and identifying both positive and limiting factors. Your critical discussion must express an informed argument and draw compelling conclusions.

Before you start writing, it is recommended that you read the material uploaded to eReading List on critical thinking (Week 1) and the student Guide which elaborates how to write an academic essay. It may also be helpful to read the example essay that has been uploaded as a resource in Moodle.
