Core Units
Marketing Management
Marketing Management is designed to provide an introduction to the key concepts, principles and practices that constitute the Marketing discipline. It will develop a focus on marketing as a business philosophy underpinning the activities of the firm.
Value Chain Management
Value Chain Management introduces the management of operations in the value chain for many industry sectors (including services, public sector, manufacturing and distribution). The objective is to equip future managers with an ability to analyse value creation and business performance in a range of situations. The knowledge and analytical skills developed will facilitate consideration and appropriate management of the operational and supply chain issues of many aspects of business that participants will encounter in later MBA units and in their organisations. Learning activities emphasise case analysis and reflection, as well as quantitative techniques that can support decision-making and evaluation.
Contemporary Organisation Behaviour
Contemporary Organisation Behaviour has been designed to offer you tools which can help you manage people in an increasingly complex organisational climate. Therefore, the objectives of the unit focus on critically evaluating how organisations, groups and teams and individual behaviour can affect work performance and productivity.
Accounting Perspectives for Management
Accounting Perspectives for Managers focuses on the analytical uses of accounting information for managers. It emphasises the role of both financial and management accounting in measuring, processing and communicating information that is useful in making economic decisions.
