The aim of the module is to introduce and explore with the students the complex, contested and messy world of strategic management theory and practice. Students will acquire the means to think strategically about organisations in the built environment through a number of theoretical angles informed by alternative epistemological
positions. Emphasis throughout will be given to highlighting the ongoing dynamics and implications of social, economic, political, technological and structural change on built environment organisational strategies. |
