2022 award winners continued
BA (Hons) in Business Management Best independent research project 2022
Awarded to: Emma Chloe Williams
The independent research project provides students the opportunity to apply, integrate and deepen the knowledge, insights and skills they learnt throughout their programme of study, demonstrating their capacity to work on a major project, through real-world issues. The team at the University of Lincoln said this student’s research was undertaken within their organisation, underpinned by core theory, with a strong focus on organisational behaviour and the importance of recognising individual and situational differences to inform leadership practice. Through their interrogation of
the current literature and primary data collection, they were able to integrate relevant data to inform pragmatic solutions to support business success as they commenced a period of growth, while also adding to the field of knowledge surrounding motivation and leadership.
This person’s supervisor commended their dedication through the development of their independent research project, as they made “active strides to improve performance through hard work and commitment, taking responsibility for their own learning and positively responding to feedback to improve”, recognising “personal development has undoubtedly taken place” and “the study will be of interest and use to the organisation”. The independent research project was also recognised for demonstrating the application of learning upon personal and professional development, illustrating their impact upon driving innovation and business success, building self-confidence and evidencing their commitment to lifelong learning. “I’m thrilled to have been awarded the best independent research project for 2022, it’s such an honour. I’m so thankful to the University of Lincoln for their never-ending support, and also to the CIPP for providing me with the opportunity to study for my BA. I cannot recommend the CIPP or the University of Lincoln enough, and to anyone thinking about commencing study, I highly recommend it. I’ve always worked incredibly hard, and it’s so rewarding to have this recognised in my project. I’m incredibly proud to have received this award and touched by the comments of my tutors.” Emma Chloe Williams
MSc in Business and Reward Manegement Michelle Crook award for best MSc dissertation 2022
Awarded to: Hana Rajasova
The Michelle Crook award for best dissertation gives recognition to the student we feel provided the best dissertation of the group. The MSc dissertation is a demanding and in-depth piece of work which requires extensive planning, research and commitment. The teaching team at the University of Loughborough said this person was a model student in terms of diligence, enthusiasm and optimism. They had a real ability to negotiate opportunities to embed their learning within their organisation and demonstrated progression throughout the programme. A challenge to anyone in a
payroll function is being able to have a full picture of the wider organisation, and this student really achieved this. They were a delight to work with and the nomination for this award was unanimous from all involved in the delivery team at Loughborough University. We look forward to working with them as an alumna of the programme and wish them continued success in the future. “I’m delighted to have received this award and obtained my MSc. The real enjoyment can begin now all my hard work has paid off. Gaining the qualification has opened up so many doors for me, and I would do it all over again.” Hana Rajasova
