In the early stages, the module emphasises concepts and tools necessary for critical strategic analysis.

A strong focus will be placed on the management of change, organisational learning and strategy implementation. Overall, this module focuses strongly on both formative and summative learning.

Their critical appreciation of strategic management will be questioned throughout the lecturing programme but also within assessed components, including the exam.
