▶ Table of contents
▶ Introduction –
describes the purpose of the executive summary, explains why the report is necessary
and/or useful (the background of the issue under investigation), sets out its precise aims and objectives,
sets the agenda (e.g what other industries will be discussed/ the main theoretical contributions which is Retail Sector).
You need to compile the executive summary giving an overview of the chosen contextual factor for investigation and its impact on DCs
(20-40% of the main body). Unpack the issue – what are the underlying factors that contribute to it; what is the impact of the issue on
data centres; what are the different aspects of it and specific implications for organisations.
▶ Main body – fulfills the agenda as above; presents and interprets the findings of the investigation into the
other industry/ies; uses relevant industry and academic literature; makes use of relevant theory (one or two
could be sufficient); takes the notion of CSR/corporate citizenship under consideration when discussing
solutions to the issues under investigation.
Using current material from the academic literature as well as the broader media and populist resources, you must compare and contrast
contemporary responses and solutions adopted to this factor from a DC perspective with the experience of at least one other
organisational sector (this must be non-DC specific) e.g. retail etc. Discuss how the responses and
solutions could or could not be embraced within the DC sector, highlighting specific challenges for leaders and managers (60-80% of the
main body). Evaluate the solutions, their relevance and applicability to DC context; potential strengths and weaknesses; cons
implications; implications for leaders and managers.
During your discussion you need to integrate the concept of corporate social responsibility and how this may affect possible solutions to
be adopted within the Data Centre sector. Could be incorporated in any or both of the above sections.
▶ Conclusion & recommendations – the conclusion summarises the main discussion; draws the work to aclose; links back to the purpose/aims and objectives; The recommendations – make practical suggestions.
Produce 3-4 recommendations, drawing on the range of academic theory and learning you have covered in the course to date, to address
the major contextual factor (please include these after the conclusion).
about the problem or issues being discussed. Please do not introduce anything new here.

The body of the executive summary should begin by defining the major contextual factor under investigation and a brief outline of the challenges this presents.
Within the main body you need to critically discuss the comparisons of how at least one other organization/sector currently responds to those factors identified and how those approaches may or may not be applied within the DC sector/organization. Justify your r esponse using material from the academic literature.
Your work should draw to a close with a conclusion and then separate recommendations, which connect directly to the issues/theory and be logical, clearly articulated and evidenced by academic material discussed in the body of the work.
