UPDATED 20161102 15:51:29

This new course focuses on a problem solving approach to business designed to help students understand the nature and working of business organisations. The aim is to encourage students to develop a critical understanding of different businesses, the context in which they operate, the markets they serve, and ultimately recommend actions that businesses should take to be successful. Much of the learning is based around business case studies and focusing on how students can use their business knowledge to determine the success of businesses.
