 Learning and Teaching Strategies

The module consists of lectures and in class case study reviews. Both of these aims to assist students in undemanding what strategy is, how it’s developed and implemented and have a clear differentiation between strategy and operational implementation.

Students should pre-read the selected chapters, prepare questions for in class discussions in order to clarify areas of uncertainty or clarity.

Students are also advised to start to think early in the semester what industry and company they would like to use for their reports.

The module consists of 10 lectures and workshops delivered over a 3-hour period. Typically, the first hour will be the formal lecture. The second and third hour will be used for group exercises, in class activities, writing workshops, question and answer sessions. The group work and activities will be focused on enhancing the lecture material in order to not only help you understand better the concepts and theories but also prepare for your written work.

These activities have been carefully selected to help insure all the objectives are better understood.
