Entrepreneurial and Leadership

Prepare a report on the success attributable to leadership in GE Financial and one other case (chosen from Module 2 Readings M2/1 – M2/5). Discuss the significance of the entrepreneurial ideas which resulted in a decision to set up the organizations chosen and explain the degree to which leadership, as a system of navigating the organization to its intended outcomes, was effective.
Guidelines
Your report requires a thorough investigation of the two cases. It will necessitate reviewing the Readings, the documented case studies and related works. Note that, as the assignment entails a comparativeperspective, then there must be evidence of comparative analysis. Consequently, dealing with each case study discretely without undertaking this will not meet the requirements of this assignment. Ensure also that appropriate scholarly tools are used in the report. This includes relating entrepreneurial leadership in each case study to relevant theories and research models, and drawing conclusions consistent with the evidence from the cases and related literature.
Rationale
This task has been designed to allow students to demonstrate the skills and knowledge needed to undertake a case study analysis on entrepreneurial leadership in order to determine the effectiveness of leadership in specific entrepreneurial ventures or firms.
Marking criteria
Your assignment will be assessed on the following:

This is a research assignment; DO NOT rely simply on your own beliefs/opinions to write this assignment.
