Summary of content

The aim of the module is to conduct management research/ consultancy and report on the findings. The module focuses on the management research project, which involves an investigation of a substantial management issue or problem. Students are required to demonstrate critical awareness of management practice, relevant theories and research techniques and approaches. The project element of the module in particular offers students the opportunity to apply course concept, theories and techniques, draw on internationally published literature and good practice, and develop and interpret knowledge about management practice in their area of study. The project's subject matter involves the theoretical and empirical investigation of management and focuses upon topics covered in the student's programme of study, the Global MBA. It requires students to demonstrate their ability to independently work. Each project will be supervised by an appropriate academic staff and if needed with additional management experts. This project may be based on work experience. The MBA Project is normally primary data based and requires the student to adopt the role of a consultant. Students are required to secure an agreement in principal from the client organisation prior to the finalisation of the first piece of coursework. Regardless of the nature of the output intended, the project is required to be theoretically robust and methodologically sound to meet the academic requirements of the module. The MBA Project offers students the opportunity to integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) to their project, including SDG No.3 Good Health and Wellbeing, No 5 Gender Equality, No 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, No 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, No 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, No 12 Responsible Consumption and Production, No 13 Climate Action.
