BUS5SMM SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT & MARKETING

This subject provides an introduction to key dimensions of management and marketing in diverse organisational contexts.

IBU5HRM HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY

The aim of this subject is to provide a systematic framework within which to explore the complexities of managing people in a global business context. Students will explore both international and domestic human resource management dimensions, and focus on issues facing a range of organisations that operate in the international environment. On completion of this subject, you should have a general understanding of the role of strategic international human resource management in the success of multinational enterprises.

MGT5MPT MANAGEMENT PRACTICE AND THEORY

In this subject students will focus on the fundamental principles and theory of management. An exploration of the development of these principles from historical precedents to present day applications will form a significant part of this subject. Students will be expected to analyse critically, evaluate and develop a body of knowledge regarding the underlying theory used in the practice of contemporary management. Learning is developed through a combination of lectures, group work and individual activities. The subject is taught by way of lectures and is not structured to be accessed by distance or personal non-interaction. This subject offers a practitioner's approach to management focussing strictly on the operational context. Management theory is then applied to explain what is taking place in each explored context, giving students diagnostic and analytical frameworks that can be immediately employed in the contemporary industrial setting.

GLOBALISATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Globalisation is a process by which distant regions are increasingly linked, shaping our lives and impacting on the fate of nations. In this subject students will explore world history by examining the process by which the wealthy countries expanded into, and influenced the rest of the world. We often think of globalisation primarily in terms of industry, trade and technology, but in this subject we will take a broader view, which includes the current problems of world poverty and conflict, environmental degradation and racism. Case histories from Latin America, Africa and Asia will be examined.
