Induction

Not-for-credit module

A not-for-credit induction module will be the starting point of the programme. The induction process is designed to familiarise you with the programme design, requirements and resources, as well as with the way online interaction, learning and grading will take place. After the induction you should be familiar with academic life, including academic writing, library services and library access, OnlineCampus access, and academic support services.

Organisational Behaviour

The aims of this module are to provide an introduction to core concepts of the way people are managed in organisations. To that end it will offer opportunities for study by prospective as well as experienced managers, to consider the history and development of management thinking and theory, using modern ideas to assess and evaluate their own personal experiences of organisations and dynamics. The introduction to the module will act as bedrock upon which other managerial ideas and processes can be developed later in the course.

With a variety of real-life case studies, you will be asked to make decisions which will inevitably influence the (work) life of your employees. These are, of course, backed by the core taught concepts, which feature group dynamics, motivation and leadership, group behaviour, communication, power, conflict and prejudice in the workspace, organisational culture, and how to manage and understand change within an organisation.

Financial Management

Business is about profit, and there can only be sustainability with a proper knowledge of effective financial management. Oxford and Harvard Business School graduate Professor David Duffill will expand and reinforce your knowledge of financial accounting, management accounts, budgeting and financing.

International Healthcare

This module aims to help you develop a conceptual and comprehensive understanding of the manager’s role in relation to the effective management and use of resources in a healthcare environment. You will be expected to bring your own experience and previous learning to bear on the learning process, and to participate fully with international fellow course students in the learning process. We will cover a wide variety of contemporary topics like challenges for healthcare management - international perspectives, management and leadership in the context of health and social care.

It allows students to develop an insight into the sustainable development from economic, social, and environmental dimensions of enterprise practices as outcomes of implementing United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Strategic Management

Do you really think strategically? Is your strategy sustainable and well formulated? How would you implement your newly formulated strategy? As you start on this course, you might just discover that you didn’t really know the answers to these questions. Not only will you learn about strategy formulation context, content, and its effective implementation, you will also be studying the latest business strategies from Harvard Business School case studies such as those of Facebook, Kellogg, and Google, as well as traditional analytical tools such as Porter’s Five Forces model, which will serve as a platform for your endeavours at innovative thinking.
