Strategy
Module N1021
Module details for 2022/23.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Module Outline
The broad aim of the module is to provide a final year integrative module in strategy which develops the student's understanding and skills, as prospective future managers, for formulating the organisation's overall strategic direction. The module will therefore help students to develop an understanding of the different approaches to strategy; how choices are made between different possible approaches; the content in which choices are made; and how strategies and structures are designed and implemented. This module will complement the different management skills already developed through earlier business and management modules.
