Core(All MBA’s) |
During the taught elements of the course you will already have experience in the application of theory to practice in individual units and in the core integrated units. In real life work organisations integration is necessary and in preparation for your transition to the work place on completion of the MBA this unit requires that you apply your learning from the taught elements to a complex real-life organisation. You will need to analyse the organisation and draw on relevant theories and models from the MBA toolkit as necessary to inform your decision making and evaluation the effectiveness of those decisions. This might be achieved either through a live consultancy project or through a challenging business simulation. Live consultancy project: |
Theory into Practice Project

Core(All MBA’s) |
The integrated application project is the culmination of the MBA programme. It is designed to give you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to think through the implications of applying the knowledge and skills acquired through the taught elements of the course. Its purpose is to bring together all the taught elements of the programme to reinforce their interrelationship and to enable you to move forward from the understanding of a discrete knowledge base to combine knowledge in different ways and increase your understanding in different areas through synthesis and exploration. Your research might take the form of a literature based project. |
Digital Marketing Communication
Marketing has become an increasingly vital ingredient for managers and business success. Organisations that neglect their marketing activities and operations are doomed to failure.
Digital platforms are not only revolutionising marketing, but creating new business models and new methods of social interaction. This unit explores the effects on management, business, economics, sociology and ethics.
For organisations some of the key questions are: what do my customers want; how do potential and actual customers view my offering; how do I make my product or service different; how much shall I charge for it and where/how do I ‘talk about’ it and make it available? All of these questions are of course posed in a context of competition and in a political, economic, socio-cultural and technological framework that is constantly evolving. The motto for organisations often is ‘change or die’. A key component of any Marketing unit is the ability to communicate effectively, thus bringing together new technological developments as well as economic, sociological and political changes combined with the extent to which academic theory matches practice.
The unit therefore aims to engage you with a critical understanding of 21st century business marketing and communication in practice for managers
