The underpinnings of effective management are considered in this module which provides students with the opportunity to examine critically the nature of contemporary thinking about management in organisations and the contexts within which it takes place. Students are encouraged to relate the content to their own management experience and practice and to develop a reflexive approach to their own management development. The module will feature an interactive style of teaching/learning which will emphasise small group work, practical exercises and discussions alongside the traditional lecture. Assessment for the module will be based on individual assignments that will emphasise the practical application of knowledge and understanding. There are no examinations for this module.
