Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The module follows a Block lecturing approach, where the lectures and tutorials are delivered by the Module Leader in a four or five day block near the beginning of the trimester. Students are provided with their own Study Guide and lecture slides via Moodle.

This is a practically based marketing management module which draws on all previous theoretical modules and requires students to apply theories and frameworks whilst working in teams to make simulated marketing decisions. The simulation is a computer based "game" where students run their own company and compete against the other teams. The formal lectures are used to set up the teams, explain the mechanisms for assessment, how to operate the simulation, to revise appropriate theory and to prepare and give feedback on assignments. Other tutorial sessions are computer laboratory based where students work in teams to analyse and evaluate the company situation, their decisions from the previous round and then enter new decisions.

Students are also expected to undertake analysis of the information outside tutorial time in preparation for a final individual assessment. (LO's covered 1,2,3,4,5).

Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills
The tutorial work and assignment study will build students' analytical, problem solving and decision making skills.
