Structure

Year 1

Core Modules

• Innovation Through Strategic Marketing A

• Leadership and Change A

• Managing Financial Value Drivers B

• People Management A

• Strategic Management Perspectives B

  This module explores a range of contemporary debates in strategy and draws on research conducted by the strategic management group in areas such as Darwinian organisational evolution, strategic alliances, the knowledge perspective on strategy and corporate social responsibility. Using the Harvard case study method, participants will learn how to analyse organisations and their environments through the application of a wide range of strategy concepts, theories, models and frameworks. With the early adoption of the ‘integrative thinking’ approach (Martin, 2007), they learn how to to critically evaluate strategic issues by thinking in terms of strategic paradoxes and see their resolution through the creative synthesis of competing strategic management perspectives. With the aim of developing their own professional and personal practice and that of others, through the ‘reflective practitioner’ approach, students are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences of strategic management (as manager or managed) and formal learning on the module.
