modules STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP, INNOVATION AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT The aim of this module is to develop a critical and synthetic understanding of a broad range of contemporary strategic leadership, management and organisational knowledge, and apply them to develop consistently competitive organisational strategies for an organisation operating in a globalised business environment. GLOBAL BUSINESS PERSPECTIVES This module seeks to critically analyse how global business perspectives and globalisation impacts the way companies have developed and how they are organised and operate. In addition, it seeks to critically evaluate how contemporary issues impact on globalised businesses. This ensures that you, as leaders and managers of the future, are equipped with the ability to consider the new, the exciting, the challenging and the contemporary as opportunities for growth and to build competitor advantage.
