All organisations operate within a business environment which is not static. Changes are constantly taking place which are largely outside the control of the organisation and which may be evolutionary, revolutionary, or disruptive in nature. These changes and management responses ultimately shape organisational structures, behaviours and performance.
This module seeks to explore some of the challenges facing management. Key functions for all organisations are those of Operations, Marketing, HRM, Finance and ICT. Managers must understand the different demands and constraints associated with the interactions of these different core functions in order to formulate appropriate strategies, gain competitive advantage and manage the satisfied productive workforce.
This foundational module aims to explore management as an essential component and function of all organisations.This module will introduce students to a wide range of themes important for all aspiring managers and business leaders, but equally relevant to everyone who intends to work in business organisations.
Operations Management is important. It is concerned with creating the services and products that we all use every day and depend upon. Effective Operations Management has the potential to improve both the efficiency of the organisation and the customer experience simultaneously, it is also found at the centre of change providing solutions to technological and environmental challenges.
The main objective of this module is to enable students to understand the role, and the importance, of leadership in organisations. Leadership is one of the most problematic and important tasks in organisations and is considered a key attribute of successful organisations. This module will examine the changing nature of leadership and the challenges facing leaders in a rapidly-changing and increasingly global world. It will review the main theories and approaches to leadership and discuss how they can be related to different types of organisations and different organisational contexts.
Project management is vital to all organisations. Designing an aircraft, constructing a bridge, implementing a new information system or even launching an initiative to change a city?s image: they are all projects needing careful management. The demand for project managers has increased significantly in the last few decades and is projected to grow further.
What is the role of corporations in society? In an increasingly unequal world of less opportunities for the majority, an environment suffering degradation and accentuated resource depletion? There is no denying that business organisations are powerful, but many questions remain as to their contribution to society and, by association, the legitimacy of such power. How do corporations then respond to societal expectations on their moral, environmental, economic, and social contribution? How do they communicate how they relate to society, the environment, and economy? This module examines how ethics play out at the organisational level and at the same time the ethical challenges of doing business in a globalised economy. Students have the opportunity to explore issues on business ethics through highly engaging lectures and seminars; teaching is participatory, building on (student) debates around moral dilemmas facing employees, managers, and business leaders.
This is a capstone module delivered in the final year and aims to equip students with a good grasp of strategic issues facing organisations operating in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
