| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module develops the capability of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy. During the course of this module, students will advance their understanding of the many ethical dilemmas, faced by managers, and dealing with ambiguity in organisational and industrial environments. Part of this, is understanding the myriad of leadership styles, which promote the positive leading of teams and ethical behaviour. This can be achieved through motivating and improving performance, and supporting people through numerous coaching and mentoring approaches.
Students studying this module will improve their understanding of societal and organisational values, ethical issues, and the impact on managerial decision making, and will develop a critical perspective on the contested nature of the concepts covered within this module. Students will develop in depth understanding of the global impact of business and the importance of the creation of sustainable social, economic and environmental value.
