Project description
Throughout the course, we have discussed successful managerial accounting and reporting decisions as the culmination of a managers thoughtful consideration of trade-offs. The answer to many of our questions has been, it depends as the facts and circumstances of the manager, organization, strategy and goals are often what shapes both the decision made and its chance of success. This has been the case throughout all of the primary domains of the course: costing, decision-making and analysis (such as CVP and differential analysis), and performance measurement and management.
With that said, there have been some overarching themes that we have discussed that have applied both within and across the primary domains of the course. For example, we have talked at length about the implications of expressing fixed costs as a unitary measure in costing decisions, differential analysis, and performance measurement.
Please identify what you would consider to the be three most important overarching themes (and corresponding takeaways) of the course, describe and define each theme, discuss how it applies across all three domains, and explain why you these themes and takeaways would make your top three list. When I say important, I mean in regards to your own career and life goals. Keep in mind that I do not know what these goals are unless you tell me, so youll want to work this into your submission. Also, please underline each theme the first time it is referenced so it is abundantly clear what you have selected to discuss. Finally, please do not choose more than three themes.
Your answer will be evaluated based on the quality of your response, which includes your demonstrated knowledge of the breadth of the course material, the depth of your chosen themes, and your ability to tie these to your own goals. In this assignment, I am evaluating your ability to demonstrate your understanding of the big picture learning points of the course as they relate to your goals as a person and future leader. I encourage you to be creative, to the extent that it does not cloud my ability to assess your understanding, and to tie these themes back to what is truly important to you.

SOCU1016 Cultural Business Practice in Asia:
Assignment #3 Critical Reflective Writing
Instructions and Criteria Sheet for Critical Reflective Writing (15%)

Reflective practice is a useful tool for any professionals to develop their own insights and improve their practice. Many
professionals, including business professionals, social workers, teachers and nurses use reflective practice to improve their
communication skills with clients and decision making process in their workplaces. For example, managers often need to

You will use academic references to back-up your claims and validate your judgments. Youre not simply analysing or
describing your learning, but deeply reflecting and planning to apply your learning. Critical analysis is a process to enable
you to make evaluations and judgments by asking questions. At the end of your reflective writing, it is important to include
a clear statement about how your insights / learning will be relevant to your future.
