Module Description

	Module Description
Data Analytics for Decision Making (15 credits)	This module aims to facilitate your engagement in deductive and inductive reasoning, to enhance problem solving and decision-making skills. The integral objective is to integrate economic theory, statistical methods and the interpretation of data to analyse business and economic issues. It provides you with essential techniques and frameworks useful for making business decisions.
Ethics of Business and Innovation (15 credits)	This module aims to introduce you to ethical challenges facing businesses and innovators. There is a widespread consensus that business leaders must not merely respect the law but have ethical and social responsibilities beyond the law. Value dilemmas and difficult ethical decisions often end up on executives’ desks, so future leaders must develop reasoning abilities to resolve ethical problems. You will engage with a wide range of ethical perspectives and apply them to analyse important ethical case studies.
Executive Decision and Grand Challenges (15 credits)	This module aims at developing skills in rational and evidence-based decision-making and introduce you to the nuances of grand challenges. Executive decisions often involve trade-offs between conflicting company values, predictions under risk and ambiguity, and critical judgments about the quality of evidence. But human beings are prone to irrational cognitive biases that can affect the quality of such decisions. The module emphasises how these skills apply to responsible business leadership and addressing the grand challenges of our time.
International Entrepreneurship and Digital Innovation (15 credits)	This module aims to develop your entrepreneurial and innovative capabilities, strengthen your theoretical knowledge to enhance the international competitiveness of your organisations, and equip you with the practical skills to lead organisational transformation by inducing various aspects of the digital dimension to adapt to widespread digitalisation and maintain relevance in the modern economy.
Managing Financial Resources (15 credits)	This module is to develop your capacity in accounting and finance. You will showcase how funds are sourced for business entities, and further comprehend the ways in which leakage of funds can be stopped. The module further aims to arm you with the tools to make wise investment decisions by showing how to adequately evaluate cash flow statements and teaching how best to develop and interpret financial reports/statements.
Managing People and Talent (15 credits)	This module presents core aspects of managing people, such as recruitment and selection, training and development, motivation and rewards, leadership and talent management strategies. This module aims at enabling you to be aware of effective HR practices and contribute to the HR department and overall organisational success.
Simulated Learning Project (15 credits)	This module is to enable you to apply theoretical concepts in the context of a simulated international company that is facing traditional business challenges alongside those posed by the Sustainable Development Goals. The module seeks to foster leadership and team management skills along with intellectual dilemmas and challenges presented by the context of the learning simulation.
Strategic Management and Board Communication (15 credits)	This module aims to develop you to make, communicate, and implement effective decisions that address both the current and future needs of your organisations. In today’s fast-paced, challenging, and uncertain business environment, this module highlights the critical importance of responsible and adaptable leadership in creating sustainable value for organizations and their stakeholders through the formulation of strategy, communicating it effectively to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, and ensuring its effective execution.
Strategic Marketing and Sales (15 credits)	This module provides you with an in-depth understanding of the strategic marketing process. This includes the identification, selection, and development of target markets, the design and implementation of effective marketing strategies, and the measurement and evaluation of marketing performance. The module also examines the role of marketing in driving business growth and success, as well as the impact of external factors such as industry trends, competitive forces, and technological advancements on marketing strategy.
Sustainable Business and Risk Management (15 credits)	This module aims to equip you with the skills to build organisations that are able to navigate the global business environment, including geopolitical and climate risks, and develop the capabilities and resilience to be successful and sustainable.
Business Consultancy Project (30 credits)	This practice-based module is designed to help you develop both subject-specific and transferable consultancy skills. It is centred on a consultancy assignment involving a real client or business case. You will learn how to define and negotiate project requirements, apply analytical frameworks to structure their thinking, utilise appropriate research methods to investigate complex business issues, and communicate their recommendations effectively through professional presentations and reports.
