Module Aims
The module explores the concept, theories and practice of project management that builds on research methodology skills and is post-requisite progression of the Business Research: Principles and Practice module.
The module provides the opportunity for students to synthesize their learning from previous studies and apply their knowledge to a live project activity.
Reflective and analytical progress meetings will be frequently held with the supervising tutor to ensure steady progression of the social enterprise and to ensure that the students maximise the learning opportunities that the module affords. The students will be encouraged to associate their strategic actions to academic theory and critically evaluate their decisions. Reflective practice will feature significantly in this module. The module encourages students to synthesize knowledge from previous academic study and the application of theory to professional practice will be a key feature of the module.
Implicit within this module is an expectation of the student to also develop professional skills and approaches expected of a business owner or strategic manager. Furthermore, students will be encouraged to identify potential shortfalls in their skills, knowledge and ability to perform the task and address these needs by embracing an attitude towards lifelong learning and continuous self-improvement. The module will hence improve student employability and enhance students’ ability to manage projects within organisations.
