Course summary

This course allows students to study the dynamic world of business in various contexts (e.g. large/small, UK focused/global, service/manufacturing). Understanding the way a business operates is essential for any student wishing to pursue a career in the commercial world. In the first year, we consider how a business operates from a functional perspective – we study how the key departmental areas of finance, human resources, production and marketing are run and managed on a daily basis. In the second year, we take our understanding of business to the next level and start to think as if we are the CEO (the boss). We consider how the different departments work together and how the whole business can be managed strategically to meet organisational objectives.
