Description of module content:

If you’re aiming for a career in leadership or want to understand what drives successful businesses, the Strategic Management module is for you. We’ll break down strategy into three powerful areas: management theory, organizational theory, and corporate planning. You’ll dive into the real-world dynamics of how teams work—exploring motivation, leadership, communication, conflict resolution, and innovation. We’ll look at how organisations are structured, how they grow, and how they operate effectively. You'll also learn how to plan at the corporate level—evaluating strategic options, setting policy, and managing change in fast-moving environments. By the end, you’ll know how to bring people, systems, and strategies together to drive success in any organisation.
