| Course description | The course aims to get the students thinking and discussing issues pertaining to management drawing on what they already know (and this expands as the semester proceeds).
The course objective is to give students the confidence and experience of debating issues on the managerial agenda without necessarily having the assurance that all the facts and possible knowledge available are within their command.
The courses aims and objectives complement those of the range of courses available through the MSc Management.
There is no overlap because the course objectives pertain to an integration of knowledge, theorising and argument. |
