Referencing method

« There are several different ways that you can cite an information source within the text of your essay.

See our full guide for more information.

References: Full bibliographic details for each work you have used, or cited, are given in the reference list at end of your assignment.

The reference list enables your lecturer to understand what information you have cited and to help them find the original work if they wish to.

The reference list contains details of all the things you have cited in your piece of work arranged alphabetically by author.

e.g.

the full reference for our example above would look like this Garrett, L.

K., 2011.

While stakeholder theory has its origins in the commercial world, it has been used in and transferred into a socio-political context and in the public sector (Adam, 2003).

Based on stakeholder theory Adams originally proposed a definition “those who can affect or are affected by the achievements of the firm’s objectives” (1984, p.24).

According to Brown, White and Redding (1984) a definition of stakeholders can be very broad and could include, in the commercial setting, competitors, media and environmental activists.

Your reference list would look like this....
