The lectures will be developed around the key concepts as mentioned in the indicative course content and will use a range of examples and cases from business practice to demonstrate the application of concepts applied to enterprise and economic development.
The Seminars will concentrate particularly on linking the specific theoretical approaches with their application through the analysis of particular business problems that are likely to arise in the organisational, management, and business circumstances of the enterprise.
The tutorials will aim to provide support to the students in the form of identifying barriers to learning and finding solutions, providing guidance for preparing coursework, tracking progress through the use of worksheets and mopping up any other student-centred learning issues that may arise. Four tutorials of 1 hour duration each will take place in week 2, 4, 6, 8 during term time.
