Course Summary

The programme delivers clear understanding of cotemporary links between various uses of coercion by states and non state actors and the complexities of managing large and small organisations in the modern governmental, economic and business environment. You will look at negotiation, selling, business rhetoric, communication and web presence and you learn the theories and techniques from economics and sociology applied to business situations, recognising that decisions are affected by human agency, structure and durability. From this, you will then look at decision making and effective leadership, the invention of new goods and services and the delivery of change.

Management positions across private business, international organisations supporting business, industry associations and wide ranging types of business.

Modules

Business Strategy covers a broad range of topics that come under the general heading of ?Business Strategy? / ?Strategic Management?. The course introduces participants to concepts, frameworks and models that are useful in providing explanations of how companies operate with respect to goal setting, understanding their competitive landscape, assessing opportunities, managing own capabilities, coordinating their activities with other companies, and competing to create value for customers. The course is interactive in nature, applying a learning-by-doing method involving students taking on roles as part of a series of simulation exercises.

Entry requirements

Applicants for admission will normally be expected to hold a relevant Honours degree with a 2:1 standard from a recognised university or body. Applicants without this qualification may be admitted subject to having an alternative qualification, or an approved level of work experience appropriate to the field of study. Also taken into careful consideration is the trajectory of results, an applicant without an overall 2.1 but with 2.1 results in their final two years of study may be admitted.
