Students will develop a critical understanding of the issues relating to business and management, enhancing their ability to maximise both individual and organisational potential. Developing aspects of leadership, such as strategy, innovation, enterprise and risk it builds an individual's capacity to successfully manage and lead people, projects, operations and/or services
