How are management students assessed on leadership and decision-making?
Management students may be assessed on leadership and decision-making through case studies, group projects, presentations, simulations, reflective reports, and examinations. Assessment can consider how well they analyse information, justify choices, communicate, collaborate, manage conflict, and reflect on the results and ethical implications of their decisions.
Key points
- Group work may assess leadership behaviours such as delegation, coordination, listening, and contribution to team goals.
- Case studies and simulations can test decision-making under uncertainty, competing priorities, or limited information.
- Written reflections or reports may require students to evaluate their leadership approach and the outcomes of their decisions.
Things to check
- The balance of assessment methods and marking criteria varies by university, course, module, and academic year; students should check the relevant course or module information.
