| Course description |
The course is an integrating module. It is concerned with the totality of what a trading business or other organisation is trying to achieve. In other words, it assesses a wide variety of environmental and organisational aspects which, when considered overall, help us to understand why some organisations thrive and similar orgnisations may struggle. These aspects will be relevant whether the organisations are trying to sell clothes world-wide or provide health care in a geographically defined community. |
