| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module considers organisational performance in MNEs. Students are introduced to performance of MNEs and the measurement and performance management systems that may be used. Students will reflect and analyse MNEs with different organisational context to achieve and maintain competitive advantage.
The module will consider the relationship between organisational mission and the manner in which it is attained. This will be done through a holistic approach to managing MNEs performance that considers the 4Es (efficiency, effectiveness, equity and efficacy). The module will enable students to reflect, reason and rationalise the internal /external influences on MNE performance, such as the manner in which MNEs are measured internally and externally.
This module is core to the MSc International Mangement Programme

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| This module provides students with the opportunity to develop critical awareness and understanding of major issues to do with the organisational performance of MNEs. Students will be expected to develop their skills of reading and synthesizing complex academic texts whilst relating these to real life case study situations. Students will work creatively in groups with their peers as well as producing individual pieces of analytical work. The module content reflects the performance management and measurement issues prevalent in conducting international business, and the need for student awareness of these will be reflected in the running of the module |
