Credit points: 6 Session: Classes: 2x 2hr seminars per week Assessment: Group Project (50%); Individual Project (50%)
Note: This unit is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Management or Master of Management (CEMS).
How can managers understand their environment, industry, resources and capabilities to achieve business success? This unit explores different levels of strategy, including corporate and business-level strategy for both established and start-up ventures. Strategy is, fundamentally, about making choices and deliberately choosing to be different. Strategic management seeks to understand how these choices and differences can (and sometimes cannot) create sustainable and exceptional value for shareholders, customers, employees and other related stakeholders. Questions to be addressed include: How can market opportunities be reviewed and understood? How can creativity and opportunity be harnessed across all phases of start-up, growth and maturity? How does a firm (or individual) build and develop resources and capabilities in a global and local competitive environment? When is collaboration preferable to competition? How can risk and uncertainty be evaluated and managed? The unit will highlight the challenges of strategic implementation as well as analysis and planning. Insights from entrepreneurial practice and theory will be integrated throughout the unit. Students will work on "real" corporate problems and questions, with group-based project work providing the opportunity to apply theory in practice.
MMGT6003 Accounting and Financial Management

Credit points: 6 Session: Classes: 2x 2hr classes per week Assessment: Business foundations modules (10%); 2x Case studies (30%); Project (25%); Exam (35%)
Note: This unit is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Management or Master of Management (CEMS).
This unit of study focuses on the theory and practice of financial decision making and financial management within organisations. Its subject matter includes a review of the economic logic of financial decisions, drawing on the modern theories of finance and management accounting. Among the topics covered are capital budgeting, costing for pricing, real options valuation, and all of the other fundamental elements of financial decision making. The unit of study emphasizes decision making within a management context. This requires an understanding of not only economic principles but also broader behavioural and organisational considerations. The objective of the unit of study is to balance the need for quantitative and qualitative management tools. The philosophy of the subject is that in a sophisticated organisation, these are inseparable essentials of successful financial management.
MMGT6005 International &Cross-Cultural Management

Credit points: 6 Session: Classes: 2x 2 hour seminars per week Assessment: Research paper (40%); Mid-term exam (15%); Final-exam (15%); Group research project and presentation (20%); attendance and participation (10%)
Note: This unit is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Management or Master of Management (CEMS).
What distinguishes successful from unsuccessful managers when doing business internationally? Most importantly, successful managers will understand and be responsive to the institutional environment in which they are operating as well as the organisational resources and capabilities at their command. They must know the "rules of the game". In this context, local cultural, ethical, and social factors play a significant role. Managers need to know how to interact successfully with people from other cultures both within and outside their organisations. An understanding of cultural differences and how to manage such differences is thus critical to effective international management. In particular, managers need to be aware of and sensitive to different management and leadership styles around the world, be able to make informed decisions about effective communications internationally, be able to lead successful international negotiations, be able to creatively manage global teams, and to have the ability to develop successful global careers for themselves and others in their organisation. This unit of study explores these issues using theory, empirical evidence, case studies, role plays and group projects to both enlighten and challenge participants.
MMGT6006 Corporate Governance and Regulation

Credit points: 6 Session: Classes: 2x 2hr seminars per week Assessment: Individual essay (50%), Group case presentation (25%), Group Country case study (25%)
Note: This unit is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Management or Master of Management (CEMS).
The focus of this unit is on systems of corporate governance and the processes of accountability through which they are effected and effective. The course will introduce students to the roles of key institutions through which governance is effected; boards of directors and within these executive and non-executive directors, investors and pension funds, analysts, regulators and the media. It will also look at the very different national systems of corporate governance that exist around the world. The course will induce students to the key conceptual frameworks through which corporate governance has been studied; agency theory, stakeholder theory, stewardship theory, resource dependence theory and theories of accountability and governance. The course will look at emergent issues within corporate governance including the emergence of new standards in relation to corporate social responsibility, the conduct of multi-nationals, and contrasting theories of international convergence or path-dependence in relation to corporate governance in both developed and emergent economics.
MMGT6008 Global Marketing Management

Credit points: 6 Session: Classes: 2x 2hr seminars per week Assessment: Individual case analysis (30%), Group assignments 1 (30%), Group assignment 2 (25%), Class participation (15%)
Note: This unit is only available to students enrolled in the Master of Management or Master of Management (CEMS).
A core skill for managers in an increasingly competitive world is applying marketing principles within the context of the international marketplace. This unit is designed to equip students with key decision-making tools, helping them answer critical questions about managing the marketing effect in the global market place. The course introduces fundamental marketing concepts and theories, and demonstrates their practical application within the international arena. Topics include market and competitive analysis, market segmentation and product positioning, brand and product management, pricing issues, integrated marketing, communications, measuring return on marketing investment, and managing the international organisation and external relationships responsible for successful implementation. Case studies are used to illustrate concepts and their practical application.

Projects are key to the success of organisations be it through the introduction of new products, the implementation of new processes or the opening of new markets. It is not enough though for you to deliver a project in isolation. You need to consider how your projects fits with other projects and the broader organisation. The foundation of this unit is the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) where you will learn the essential components of project management and how to manage a project to success. Building upon this you will also learn how to maximise the value of your project. You will come to understand the benefits, and mechanics, of programmes, project management offices and effectively managing any organisational change with your project. The unit can contribute to you achieving internationally recognised accreditation from the Project Management Institute (PMI).
