STUDY

This module is designed for international postgraduate (PG) business students to provide key elements on their journey to completing their PG studies. The purpose of the module is to gain and apply important study skills with the essential things required for students to complete the level 7 study. The two-week module will allow students to orientate themselves to the academic environment and requirements and appreciate an awareness of academic issues and research, whilst also beginning to develop their own research and study skills.

This module aims to provide students with a broad introduction to managing people effectively across different national contexts through the introduction of key concepts, theories and contemporary practices. It considers the global challenges of developing and implementing effective international people management strategy in multinational organisations. This 
module will explore the crucial role of cross cultural differences and interactions influencing people management practices in international organisations by analysing its impact on people management functions such as resourcing, talent management and development, performance and reward management as well as employment relationship matters from an 
organisational leadership and management perspective. 

This module provides an appreciation of a wide range of financial analysis and information, as these are the key to management decision-making. It also analyses and interprets financial data for internal decision-making. It concentrates on financial reporting, financial reporting standards, analysis and interpretation of financial statements, topics related to 
operational decisions, investment appraisal, and capital market before progressing to basic data analytics tools and techniques. It encourages students to see the informational needs of outside user groups, the nature of the information they are provided with, and how this information can be analysed and interpreted in order to enhance the effectiveness of their decision-making.

This module focuses on the knowledge and skills of the leader to develop services and use innovative methods in practice to enable teams to challenge fundamental assumptions about current and future integrated care delivery. It also explores the key themes, theories and concepts in organisational psychology. It will help you to develop a critical understanding of 
the complex dynamics of team working and the emotional and motivational side of work. The module team will place particular emphasis on the examination of issues and dilemmas in the workplace and the ‘leadership’ problems that are perennially encountered in organisations.

This module will provide students with a practical understanding of how organisations create and sustain desire for brands and then how to design and implement international marketing strategies. To ensure students gain an appreciation of international marketing in action this module will provide students with an understanding of how brands create value for 
customers using contemporary international marketing practice and how contemporary marketing practices in different organisations and sectors achieve marketing objectives. Students will explore both the theoretical background of international marketing concepts as well as their application in today's fast-changing and rapidly growing digital marketing 
landscape.

This module aims to sensitise students to the challenges inherent to change in work life. As the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, famously quipped, ‘You can never step into the same river twice’. This utterance is widely considered to be the route of the paradox inherent to considerations of change i.e. that change is the only constant. Change is both inevitable and pervasive. So, how, precisely might we as students of business and management go about navigating this paradox? How can we manage – and establish a sense of belonging, security and identity in our staff if our organizations reside not on a firm bedrock, but on ever-shifting sands? Considerations of change become ever-more pertinent in this era of high technology, and especially as our world is now rapidly yielding to the influence of artificial intelligence. Change is examined on this module at individual, group, organization, industry and geopolitical levels.

The purpose of this module is twofold: to examine the use of systematic research approaches to help build understanding of specific business contexts; and to prepare students for the extended project or dissertation as part of their level 7 studies. In this module, students will develop their investigative and analytical skills. They will learn about a range of methods and methodologies for collecting and analysing data and develop their own approach to a research project connected with an area of business or management.

The dissertation demands a high level of individual application and commitment to research. It provides students with an opportunity to identify, reflect on and explore a topic in significant detail. That topic should fall under one or more of the following broader themes: organization, management, work, business. Your research may constitute either a traditional academic project or an applied management report.
