Students will be encouraged to be candid and open in class discussion so as to ensure a greater synergy and enhanced learning dynamic. Students will also be encouraged to relate the key topics of the module to the management of the organisations which they are familiar with and to the problems managers may encounter.
Students will be encouraged to develop their learning skills by self-directed study supported by the extensive resources (books, journals and databases) available through the library.
