This subject is intended as an ‘integrative’ capstone course, and as such does not introduce to the students substantial new material; but rather, provides them with a vehicle for applying and integrating the knowledge and skills they have already acquired in the previous subjects within this degree. In particular, groups of students (or syndicates) will be asked to undertake an integrative exercise that simulates the management of a firm in preparation for their transition back into the workplace.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- display a rigorous understanding of core business functions and with problem-solving skills reflecting an integration of functional perspectives.
- apply sophisticated statistical techniques to data; make informed forecasts of business trends; and formulate, solve, and interpret quantitative business decision models.
- define markets and apply marketing concepts and principles
- interpret and analyse accounting information for internal control, planning, performance evaluation, and coordination to continuously improve business processes.
