MODULES
Designed to explore beyond subject knowledge
The Master of Business Administration Global offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to develop effective global business leaders. Core modules such as Dynamics of Global Business and Practices, Strategic Management and Leadership, and Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation focus on building strategic thinking and leadership capabilities for international markets.
Students gain expertise in Financial Resource Management, Global Supply Chains, Ethics and Global Corporate Citizenship, and data-driven decision making through International Data Analytics. The programme features practical learning through the Simulated Learning Project and culminates with the Business Consultancy Project, enabling students to apply their knowledge to real-world business challenges while developing essential consultancy and problem-solving skills for today’s global business environment.
Dynamics of Global Business and Practices
This module aims to provide learners with an in-depth understanding of the global business environment, including economic, political, cultural, and regulatory aspects that impact international business operations; the skills to analyse global markets, identify opportunities and threats, and make informed market entry decisions and understanding how to navigate cultural differences, operate effectively in diverse settings.
Global Entrepreneurship and Innovation
The aim of this module is to develop students’ entrepreneurial and innovative capabilities; the theoretical knowledge necessary to promote international competitiveness; and the practical skills to drive innovation within whichever context they find themselves.
Simulated Learning Project
The aim of this module is to enable students 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.
Business Consultancy Project
This module provides students with the opportunity to explore and evaluate the practical application of business concepts through the experience of working as members of a consultancy team investigating a client business issue and construct a detailed consulting proposal to be pitched to the potential client. Competitive consulting proposals will be evaluated by the client and academic staff. The consulting proposal will be evaluated on the basis of likelihood of being the preferred supplier of consulting services to the client.
Students will work on live business problems, taking a briefing from the management of client organisations, applying creative problem solving and innovation techniques, presenting a competitive consulting proposal back to the client. The module provides a practical focus of the MBA programme in that students need to integrate all the skills acquired throughout the entire programme. Four aspects will receive special attention in preparatory learning: consulting pitch-design & construction; group-based creative problem-solving techniques; project management concepts, and the soft skill dimensions of being a consultant. This course aims to develop the confidence and competence to apply knowledge to real business scenarios, and to develop the personal and team-based skills to be effective in this. Sector specialisms may be applied to this course.
Global Supply Chains
This module aims to enable managers and aspiring managers to develop a comprehensive knowledge of supply chains. It encompasses core principles and techniques that underpin the successful management of supply chains.
Ethics and Global Corporate Citizenship
This module aims to introduce learners 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. Learners will engage with a wide range of ethical perspectives and apply them to analyse important ethical case studies. Upon completion, learners will be able to make more confident ethical judgments, to better anticipate ethical and regulatory risks in their business, to resolve ethical conflicts in their team, and to communicate ethical choices more effectively to their stakeholders.

The module also discusses leadership styles and theories of leadership traits to meet the current and future needs of the organisation.
