Write an individual report on the document you have selected. Scenario Planning Foresight Horizon Scanning Centre (2009). Scenario Planning. UK Government Office for Science. Available online: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140108141323/http://www.bis.gov.uk/assets/foresight/d ocs/horizon-scanning-centre/foresight_scenario_planning.pdf The report will be critical and analytical. You can decide what the precise purpose of the report will be. You will need to be careful to specify the purpose at the beginning of the report. Also be careful to specify which of the five documents you will be analysing. If you like, your purpose can be to critically analyse the document in some way, for example by drawing attention to its limitations and deficiencies as a guidance document. Alternatively your purpose might be to critically analyse the risk management practice which the document advocates. Perhaps your analysis will contain some suggested improvements to the document, or to the related risk management practice. Whatever your specified purpose, you will need to undertake some wider academic study to ensure that the report contains evidence-based academic writing. Using Harvard referencing style, you will reference throughout the report, and you will also provide a bibliography at the end. Follow Harvard referencing conventions very carefully and consistently throughout. Ensure you include both introduction and conclusion sections and think carefully about why good introduction and conclusion sections are important. Use of subheaded sections in the main body of the report is optional but is encouraged because it can help to focus your writing and ensure academic rigour. The report should be 1.5 spaced, in Arial font size 12. Remember that a 1200 word report is too short to require an executive summary, and that abstracts are not necessary. The length of the report will be 1200 words +/-10% (excluding bibliography. The relevant word count includes items such as cover page, executive summary, title page, table of contents, tables, figures, in-text citations and section headings, if used. The relevant word count excludes your list of references and any appendices at the end of your coursework submission. References: You should use the Harvard style to reference.
