IB Business Management SL Internal Assessment Example

The student defines the key concept clearly from the start and keeps it connected to Disney’s decision-making.

The student makes repeated links between the concept, the company context, and the likely effects on different stakeholders.

The student's final judgment stays focused on the research question and gives the essay a clear line of argument.

The concept is sometimes used as a label for the layoffs rather than as a deeper analytical lens.

The discussion of organizational change could be more developed by considering implementation, communication, resistance, and long-term consequences.

Some claims about benefits to stakeholders are stronger than the evidence fully supports.

The student selects a relevant set of supporting documents that includes contemporary reporting and company evidence.

The documents are generally connected to the research question and help frame the discussion of the layoffs and later performance.

The student presents the document set transparently with dates, titles, and links.

Some of the documents are broad or only indirectly connected to the specific decision being evaluated.

The depth of evidence is uneven, especially where the analysis relies on less authoritative material for financial-market claims.

The document set would be stronger if it drew more directly on primary company data and explained each document’s role more clearly.
