Principles of Enterprise Management (BCPM0042)

The structures and management issues experienced in enterprises are the focus of this module. Management, organisational and project literature is drawn upon to illustrate the issues, supplemented by case study material. The issues addressed are to do with structure and process, are strategic as well as operational, rational as well as creative, and are about effectiveness and efficiency. Introducing you to key issues from the MBA curriculum, the module demonstrates that there are choices in the organisation and operation of the firm. These choices are suited to different aims and objectives. Strategic choice and operational decisions form part of the equation of effectiveness and hence competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The learning material therefore addresses both analytical experience of and in the firm and potential for the firm – a mix of theoretical and applied observation with normative input – that is, analysis about what ought to or could happen. Your learning occurs through lectures, group work, tutorials, private reading and sharing learning from private reading.
