Executive Skills: Thinking and Acting for Effective Practice
Executive skills are developed throughout the MBA programme in workshops and are formally assessed in three ways: a business modelling assignment, a proposal for the MBA project and, for the integration and application of learning, the preparation of a position paper that explores the relationships that have to be managed in the individual's work context. This module focuses on:
* conceputal competence - understanding the nature and importance of theory and alternative approaches to theorising
* interpersonal skills - working in learning sets to encourage cooperative and self-managed learning, and to enhance the management of creative processes and critical skills, such as group decision making
* business modelling - introducing basic business mathematics to model real business problems arising and using descriptive statistics and probability
* research methods - identifying an appropriate research design, and applying appropriate information gathering and data analysis skills, to investigate an isue or problem for the MBA project
* the integration and application of learning - understanding the individual's work context, sharing this with their learning set and relating work experience to learning across the MBA programme
