| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
The module uses a series of lectures to provide you with knowledge on quality cost reports, Environmental management accounting, Balanced scorecard, Just in Time, Lean manufacturing, Decentralization, and managing in a global environment. Realistic numerical questions are used in tutorials to build up knowledge and understanding so that you are then able to analyse more complex questions. The delivery of this module is mainly based on applying the interactive approach in which you will be encouraged to be involved in the discussion. This approach has been very well received, with extremely positive formal feedback being received from students.
The coursework comprises Report Writing. You will be asked to select one company and investigate the eco-efficiency activities in four companies. Guidance on report writing is provided to you to help you to achieve this task. Detailed formal written and constructive feedback on report writing is provided on the coursework, with each student receiving a full breakdown for each component.
There is also an unseen two-hour examination normally consisting of three sections. Section A is compulsory and worth 40 marks. In Section B, you have a choice of answering two 30 mark numerical questions. Section C contained two theoretical questions and you must select one of these to answer.
