Mini MBA - Strategic Management Module
Strategic management is where major goals and initiatives are formed and carried out by an organisation’s top management on behalf of bosses. This would be based on the consideration of what resources are available and an assessment of the environments in which the organisation competes. It is the continuous planning, monitoring, analysis and assessment of all that is necessary for an organisation to meet its goals and objectives. As such, it is an essential ingredient for all leaders or those who aspire to successfully lead an organisation.
This course reflects current practice in strategic management and leadership and allows participants to develop and expand their understanding. Those taking part in the course will engage in a range of group and individual workshop activities and the experiential learning will allow them to develop practical and workplace skills.
Participants will be encouraged to consider the best use of resources, understand the need to innovate, and optimise performance. They may also have to present arguments for change, construct business cases, and lead the implementation and evaluation of change.
