Teaching Rationale And Relationship
This module aims to introduce students to some key concepts relating to business management and control. Online lectures are used to explain the issues, and to introduce theory, concepts and techniques. Students will have the opportunity to develop their understanding and judge their progress through question practice - both in online question practice sessions and through guided study time. Discussion boards will be available to consider queries. Reading is required to support the module and is essential to developing a rounded view of the material.
