This module is aimed at creating a deep and wide appreciation of how various global trends will impact upon economies, organisations and from there, the practice of management. In particular, the way in which ecological, social and economic factors interact to create threats and possibilities for organisations will be addressed. Moreover, the varying ways in which these aspects manifest themselves in different parts of the globe will be elucidated in order to ensure that all students have an appreciation of both how their own and other countries might be affected by various trends. Finally, students will also be supported to make the link between these issues and how they manifest themselves in their chosen area of study.
