I got the following feedback: Your research question does not have the straightforward link to organization design as expected.The introduction is strong in motivating your choice for this topic. Points for improvement is a) linking it to organization design and b) positioning your topic in academic literature (you have no academic references on page 1 and most of page 2). In applying the STAR model, you choose to refer to some elements, not all, which make my wonder about the other elements (remember that a key message of the STAR model is that all elements should be aligned). On page 3, you have a (too) long quote, which you don’t reference properly, so I can’t see where the quote ends and your argument starts. This applies to more references throughout your essay. Your choice of headings is reflective of the eclectic choice for themes. A clear, coherent structure is needed to mend this. Throughout the paper, you provide some fine arguments, but the coherence and structure do not lift your paper to the minimum required standard. Referencing can be improved by applying to the principles as posted on this course’s Canvas page (e.g. page 1: “Navigating Organizational Change: “Change Leaders, Employee Resistance and Work-based Identities”) – this should be: (Author, Year).

E.g., page 1: ‘Examines how leadership transitions affect the culture and performance of start-ups and scale-ups, and focuses on the role of (temporary) leadership as a force in these transitions’. This sentence does not seem to belong here. Proofread before your submit;) Page 3: ‘As highlighted by the paper ‘Indicators of Start-up failures.’ Finally, the word count of 2,346 falls far short of the 3,000 word minimum.
