Interview:
How do you feel about the future of work?
What skills do you think will be needed and how are you
preparing for it?
Zhang:
the traditional production line will be replaced by the
automatical production line, which means people's job will be
replaced by machine or robot.
there is one thing that machine or robot cannot take over human
which is update
In the future, there is a new type of tax may need to pay by the
industry, which is called robot tax
for example，if a industry has more than 80% robots, that means
more people losing jobs. the robot tax will be used to give
people who using the jons
Ma:
1.I think with the development of technology and economy, the
future work will be more depend on information technology. We
see that after the COVID-19 outbreak, the education and finance
industry has adopted a lot of online office and teaching. So I
think the trend of future work will be a transfer from physical to
online, for example, it does not need physical building or a lot
of working equipment, but uses information technology and
working software.

2.If the working form is changed from physical to online, the
software of network office will increase a lot. At present, we
know zoom and so on, but there will certainly be more demand
in the future, and the running speed and carrying capacity of the
software will also increase a lot. so it is necessary for us to
adapt to work with technology. For example, how to effectively
achieve work objectives through network meetings, how to
better cooperate with colleagues. What’s more, people in the
field of information technology should study how to face a large
number of customers in the future.
In order to better adapt to the changes that may occur, I think it
is necessary for us to prepare for the R & D of information
technology and the creation of more office software. At the
same time, it is also necessary to improve our communication
ability and adaptability. Because relying on network work will
make us lose the opportunity to communicate with other people
face to face, and lose the support of office equipment, so the
ability to use office software efficiently needs to be trained and
prepared in advance.
1. In the future maybe most of worker they work with phone or
computer in house We don't need go to somewhere for work
2. Preparing for learning anything you need like all the
computer stuff makes you work easily
Li：
In the future, more and more jobs may be replaced by artificial
intelligence and automation equipment, and many people may
face unemployment, especially in industries with a lot of
repetitive work, especially in manufacturing and heavy industry.
But at the same time, the workplace of the future may be freer
than it is today. The boundaries between different industries
have become less pronounced and job seekers have become
more selective in their career development. But job seekers will
be required to have higher abilities, especially in the digital

field, and to be highly adaptable and responsive to work content
in different work environments. We should take the initiative to
accept new skills and apply high technology flexibly to our
work, instead of resisting it. Try to get in touch with relevant
knowledge on a daily basis, or give systematic training if
possible.
Shen:
1. In the future, most of us may work from home but not in the
classic sense of telecommuting. And AI would replace most of
the daily basis work. 2. skills:creativity. AI and robots
currently can not complete with humans on creativity.
1. It is challenging and requires higher level of innovation. 2.
It requires cooperation between teams and dialectical and
rational thinking to treat everything in the work. From the daily
small things to develop dialectical thinking, encounter things
from various aspects to analyze, understand each other
1. I think the future work should be related to my own interests
or my own profession. 2. Continue to learn the knowledge of the
major, expand my professional field, and strive to combine
practice and theory
Yang:
In the future work, automation and intelligence will be more
applied to the actual work environment, in order to greatly
improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs.
As far as I am going to work in the mechanical industry,
necessary professional skills such as numerical control
technology and simple programming skills are concerned. I
think they are all skills that need to be mastered under the trend
of AI. I will use my spare time for self-training and practice,
and then combine theory with practice in my work
1. Future jobs need to constantly improve their skills and
qualities in order to meet the increasing competitiveness of
employment.

2. In a globalized world, language skills such as English are a
must in the workplace. In addition, in the context of diversity,
each of us should have good teamwork skills, respect the ideas
of other members and colleagues, and jointly create an inclusive
work environment. Before My formal work, I will look for a
intership job in a joint venture, so that I can enter the working
environment in advance to lay the foundation for my future
work.

Evidence-Based Management Module Assessment
DATE DUE: 19th June 2020 @ 23.59

In order to be assessed for the EBM module, students need to
write a report considering the
following case:
Imagine you are the HR Director of a manufacturing company
based in your own Country (or
the UK where LT members are from different nationalities). The
company is currently
considering developing a new training programme for their
employees and they want to
investigate the impact of new technology and automation on the
skills requirement for the
future world of work (up to 2040).
Considering the four elements of evidence-based management
(i.e. manager expertise and
judgements, evidence from the local context, critical evaluation
of the best available research
evidence, and perspectives of those may be affected by a
particular decision), write a report
providing the best evidence to the company in relation to skills
requirements for the future (up
to 2040) including any areas that may become shortage skills.
Please, note that you are asked to consider all the four elements
of EBM, in particular:
1. In relation to ‘Manager expertise and judgements’:
Consider that in this case you are the HR Director. Therefore,
after conducting your
research and having collected evidence for the remaining three
elements of EBM (i.e. from
local context, from existing research, from stakeholders), you

will need to make a decision
about whether to develop the new training programme and in
this case on which skills the
programme should be focused.
2. In relation to ‘Evidence from the local context’:
In this case you need to collect evidence from the local context
(i.e. your own Country or
the UK where LT members are from different nationalities) to
inform the decision of
whether to develop the new training programme. For example,
you may want to consider
the current level of automation of the manufacturing industry.
3. In relation to ‘Critical evaluation of the best available
research evidence’:
In this case you need to conduct an evidence review (i.e.
literature review) on existing
studies and research related to the impact of technology on
working skills. Remember that
the evidence you provided need to be relevant to your final
judgement. Therefore, a critical
evaluation of what include in your literature review is
fundamental.
4. In relation to ‘Perspective of those who may be affected by a
particular decision

(stakeholders)’:
In this case you need to collect evidence from the local
stakeholders using the research
methods explored during the EBM module. You are asked to
collect both qualitative and
quantitative evidence. In relation to the sample size, please
consider the following:
o For qualitative evidence: between 8 to 10 interviews.
o For survey: a minimum of 40 answers are required.
After collecting the data, you are asked to perform analysis
using NVivo and SPSS
software.
Structure of the report
The structure and the presentation of the report needs to be
professional. To this end, please
use a clear typeface (12 points) with line spacing to not less
than 1.15. The words limit for the
report is 5,500 words, which excludes title, references, charts,
tables, imagines and any form
of data visualisation. The report needs to be structured as
follows:
o Title
Choose a title for your report. Consider that the title needs to
professional and it needs to
reflect the content of the report, especially the findings.
o Executive summary (max 250 words)

In the executive summary you need to briefly present the
content of your report by
mentioning the source of evidence used and the final
recommendation for the company.
o Introduction (around 500 words – indicative)
In the introduction you need to provide background information,
introducing the problem
you are investigating and briefly outline the structure of the
report.
o Literature review (around 1,500 words – indicative)
In the literature review you need to critically evaluate the
existing research. Remember that
the purpose of a literature review is to understand what is
already known about the topic
you have investigated. The literature review will include the
evidence related to the third
element of EBM (i.e. critical evaluation of the best available
research evidence).
o Methodology (around 500 words – indicative)
In the methodology you need to explain the process you
followed to collect the data,
including the reasons for choosing the methodology you used,
the development of the data
collection tool (interview questions or questionnaire) and the
sample selection. Participants

descriptive are also welcome to be included in this section.
Please, note that interview
questions or the questionnaire will need to be included in the
Appendix.
o Results (around 1,000 words – indicative)
In the results section you need to present the analysis of your
data related to both the second
element of EBM (i.e. evidence from the local context) and the
fourth (i.e. Perspective of
those who may be affected by a particular decision). Given the
words constrains, you may
want to consider using tables and charts for this section along
with brief commentaries.
o Discussion (around 1,500 words – indicative)
In this section you will need to discuss the evidence you
provided in order to make a
recommendation for the management. Remember that your
argument needs to be supported
by your findings. Therefore, in this section you need to
critically evaluate all the evidence
you collected and interpret them in order to inform the decision
on whether to develop the
new training programme and, in this case, on what skills it
should be focus the attention.
o Conclusions (around 1,500 words – indicative)
In this section you will need to provide your final

recommendation based on the discussion
you will elaborate on whether to develop the new training
programme and, in this case, on
what skills it should be focus the attention.
o References
Please, list all the references for your report using a Harvard
reference style as shown:
o Last name, First initial. (Year published). Article title.
Journal, Volume (Issue),
Page(s).
Example:
Lucianetti, L., Battista, V. and Koufteros, X. (2019).
Comprehensive Performance
Management Systems Design and Organizational Effectiveness.
International
Journal of Operations and Production Management, 39(2), pp.
326-356.
o Appendix
Please, include in the appendix the data collection tool you
developed (interview questions
or questionnaire) and the transcripts of your interviews.

• Less than 40 points: FAIL. Inadequate evidence provided to
support statements. The
assignment is based only on one or two elements of EBM. No
critical evaluation of the
scientific research available. No appropriate design and use of
the research
methodology. Results are not discussed, and recommendations
are not supported by
evidence.

analysis, mostly frequency,
have presented. The final recommendations are supported by the
findings of the
investigation conducted.
Some advanced analysis may be included, and you could have
included some
descriptive information about your sample (e.g. age, gender,
education)
• Between 61 and 80 points: EXCELLENT PASS. As (GOOD
PASS) above plus clear
understanding of the phenomenon with accurate and relevant
referencing. Critical
evaluation of existing evidence and an in-depth investigation
for each of the four EBM
elements. Clear understanding of the research methodologies
with adequate reference.
