Integrative Business Simulation / Action Case Learning (compulsory)
The aims of this module are to provide students with an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained in core modules to real world cases. It provides an opportunity and challenge to understand the complex inter-relationship between theory and practice - to explore the extent to which theoretical models developed in the core modules can be applied in practical situations, to explore the extent to which organisations are aware of and apply theoretical perspectives as well as examining the validity of some of the models that have been applied in the real world. There are two combined elements to this approach: a complex computer based interactive business simulation and a series of real life case provided by external business contacts.
Assessment
Assessments are mainly based on practical business-related contemporary issues or case studies. They test your ability to apply what you have learnt to real situations.
The Business Research Project is the final assignment of the programme. It provides you with the opportunity to consolidate your knowledge acquired throughout the programme and specialise in a subject or sector of special interest to you. Some students carry out their Business Research Project in their own organisation or in an industry within which they have career aspirations.
