This module is for Business and Management students entering directly into Level 6. 

The module complements the coursework and assignments undertaken by students in their professional and academic studies which will be used as models for analysis and critical evaluation.

The module is primarily concerned with the advanced intellectual skills of understanding, analysis, evaluation and synthesis.

The module will aim to develop students' abilities to critically evaluate academic and professional issues involved in business and management.

Students will be expected to argue and discuss issues in essay and report form, presentations, tutorials and seminar groups, and where necessary support their views with the use of appropriate information technology.

Students will use a wide range of sources to find relevant information, differing opinions and numerical data.

A student passing this module should be able to:

1.  Identify and apply appropriate academic frameworks, models and theories for decision-making to a wide range of management decision situations including those involving uncertainty and conflicting demands for resources (PLO2).
2. Assess recent and current developments in business and management, and relate these to the wider business environment (PLO1,2).
3. Discuss and evaluate strategies which may be adopted by organisations and their effects (PLO3).
4. Develop a perspective concerning issues in business and management which will make students better equipped to engage in analysis, synthesis and evaluation (PLO4).
