Plenary session:

The group work forms an important part of the MSc schedule and experience. It comprises two group presentations and one written group report. The presentations and report focus on relevant management issues, functions, and organisational outcomes. The group work draws on practical application of theory gained from the study of the core subjects on the MSc.

The project material is case study based, with each group being given a case study on which to base their presentations and report. The first part of the project focuses on literature review and problem identification, and the second part focuses on case study analysis and interpretation. In both portions of the project students are expected to gather further information from library and web sources, evaluate this information and use it to inform their approach to the case study assigned. There is also a strong emphasis on group dynamics.
