Taught Modules

MN-1520 The Global Context of Organisation

This module introduces students to key issues within the global context for organisation. Developing an understanding of how organisation is shaped by global contexts and how organisation shapes global contexts enables students to better understand external forces upon organisations and organising.
MN-M596 Managing Inclusive Organisations

This module draws on the latest research and contemporary examples in diversity, equality, equity, and inclusion at work. Learners will be introduced to the main issues related to the management of diversity and inclusion in contemporary organisations. We will explore the changing demographics of the workforce and its impact across all levels of the organisation. Critical discussions on the business and moral cases for managing equality and diversity, and the practices used to embed these within specific cultural and legislative contexts will be considered.
