need to answer the following question:
Compare different conceptual approaches to global supply chains examining differences and similarities.
(three approaches are Global commodity chains
Global production networks and critical approach)
writing instructions as follow:
INTRODUCTION. The following three aspects should be part of any good introduction, and can ONLY be achieved with good planning:
a) What are you going to do? In brief, summarise what the essay is about (i.e. the main topic(s) and the significance of the question).
b) How are you going to do it? This is where the prior planning comes in. Here you lay-out the structure or ‘steps’ of the essay (i.e. very brief summaries of what each of the sections will be about). Remember that each of these MUST contribute to answering the specific demands of the question in some way.
c) What is the main thrust of your argument? (I.e. provide your broad answer to the question so that the reader – me – can see where you are going)
d) In addition, you can also use the introduction to define core terms used in the question or in your answer. This should not be a long discussion, but a succinct (to-the-point) exercise to allow you to build your essay in the main body.
MAIN BODY. The main body is about the development of your argument, the analysis you present, and how you justify it in relation to logic, the use of evidence and/or debate. When planning and writing the main body of your essay you should:
a) make use of sub-headings. These are crucial to structure your thoughts.
b) be very careful with the use of evidence (e.g. empirical case studies, data, etc). Be aware that evidence always concerns a particular time and place, so make sure that you specify evidence by time and place. This should also help you to avoid over-generalisation. Remember also that, in the confines of only 3,000 words, evidence can only ever be illustrative. In other words, evidence illustrates the points and arguments that you are making, and shows that you know how to use evidence properly.
c) be aware that assertions are not evidence. You may have an opinion about something, perhaps based on others’ assertions (e.g. in the media, in textbooks), but unless you have weighed-up the (often competing) evidence and/or logics, then it may be wiser to make clear that an issue is not certain (i.e. shades of grey rather than black and white).
d) do not abuse quotations. Do not let quotes talk for you. Break up longer quotes and/ or paraphrase in your own words (but still, of course, referencing the source). If using longer quotes always explain your interpretation of their meaning and/ or how it relates to the specific focus on your analysis.
CONCLUSION. The conclusion draws together the various strands of your argument used to answer the question. You can also use the conclusion for broader reflection on the topic, perhaps in terms of how it relates to wider issues, or what you think is missing from the terrain of the debate and why this matters, etc.
REFERENCING. It is IMPERATIVE that you reference your work properly and provide a full bibliography. We are very tough on this. If your essay is not properly referenced it is unlikely that you will receive a grade any higher than a 2:2, this is because we will have no idea where your arguments, evidence and ideas are sourced from. When you read your first draft you should check that all references are rigorously applied.
