Learning outcomes and assessment approach
By working through the six areas above, learners should be able to explain relevant concepts, analyze realistic cases, compare management alternatives, and communicate evidence-based recommendations. A suitable assessment mix could include case analyses, reflective reports, presentations, and a final applied project. Exact assessment weights, teaching hours, prerequisites, and any award remain subject to confirmation.
Suggested final project: select a workplace challenge connected to executive mba pathways; define its context and stakeholders; evaluate evidence and feasible options; propose a practical response; and describe indicators for reviewing the results.
