A key focus of this subject is on value creation as a cross-disciplinary and cross firm activity. As such, the focus is on value creation from multiple disciplinary perspectives including strategy, entrepreneurship, marketing, HRM, supply chain management and organisational design. Some examples of the type of issues we will consider are: • What does customer value mean? How do customers judge value? • Companies in the same industry frequently create value for customers in many different ways. What are some of the different approaches and why are they successful, while other companies fail to create successful customer value and ultimately fail? • How do we measure value from a financial and market(ing) point of view? • How do we set prices? Pricing is a very complex topic and intersects accounting, finance, and marketing.

There will be an end-of-semester exam that will cover the entire course. The exam will comprise of essay questions focusing on value creation. The exam makes up 50% of the total mark for the subject.

Sustainability is inherently interdisciplinary and international. Fundamental to enhancing sustainability is measurement and disclosure of metrics and information that reflect the sustainability performance of organizations. This information allows firm management to efficiently allocate resources to enhance sustainability and external stakeholders to discipline and reward low and high sustainability organizations. Measuring and reporting on sustainability is inherently complex and subjective. The main goal of the course is to provide students with a rigorous conceptual framework to guide both the preparation and use of information that measures sustainability performance. Diverse stakeholders are increasingly demanding information about the broader social and environmental dimensions of organizational performance. Incorporating this information into decision-making is complex because it tends to be non-financial in nature and traditional models tend to focus on financial information. This course will investigate issues associated with production, reporting, and use of sustainability related information for decision-making. At a broader level, the course will help students to develop their critical thinking and analytical skills to help them apply their knowledge to settings where extant models do not fit well.

The overall aim of this subject is to examine individual and collective human behavior in and around issues of organizational change. The subject will cover a broad theoretical basis that assists in understanding how change at the employee, group and strategic levels affects individuals. Both the planned approach and emergent approach to change management will be considered. Topics to be covered include drivers of change, the role of internal and external change agents, tools for successful change management, and the implementation and consequences of specific change initiatives.

With 12.5 credit points, the standard time allocation would suggest that you should plan to devote an average of 7.5 hours of revision time to the subject each week, on average, to achieve excellent progress. This is in addition to the 3 hours total teaching time. I think you will find that some weeks heavier and others lighter, however you will still want to plan for a minimum of several hours each week to work on the readings and exercises. Group assignments will need coordination and discussion, and often additional time, however this also offers you the chance to make new friends and network for the future.

This subject is designed to equip students with a range of tools and techniques that are necessary for effective decision making. Key topics covered include both prescriptive analytics (e.g., linear optimisation, nonlinear optimisation, and Monte Carlo simulation) and predictive analytics (e.g., forecasting, logistic regression, classification and regression trees). Emphasis will be given to potential applications of these tools and techniques in various functional areas including international business, marketing, supply chain, and strategy.

Working in groups can sometimes be more difficult than working individually. However, team-work and organizational skills associated with group work are highly valued by employers. With careful management and ongoing communication, you can have a successful and rewarding experience working in a team. You should exchange names, phone numbers, and email addresses with your group members straight away. If you have difficulty with a member of your group, you should contact your lecturer as soon as possible. Do NOT leave issues unresolved until just before or after your group assignment is due. All students within your group will be given the same mark unless you have raised an issue during the assignment period. Students who do not contribute to a group assignment fairly and significantly may be allocated a lower mark or assigned a mark of zero.

Business managers request, assess, purchase, and use marketing research to make a wide range of informed decisions about target markets, product offerings and the performance of marketing activities. To be able to do this competently, managers need to know what benefits marketing research can provide, what research methods are appropriate for the different types of problems, and how data should be collected, analysed, interpreted and presented so that it is meaningful to other users. These are skills students will acquire through their participation in a 'real-life' client- sponsored project.

There are in total 5 quizzes + 1 preliminary survey submission (check seminar schedule for details) designed to help you keep up with the project progress and understand the class material.

This subject focuses on how to improve customer experiences (CX) through effective design. You, as students will learn how to design highly contextual, personalised, and emotional experiences for customers using Human Centred Design (HCD) methodologies, frameworks principles, tools, and techniques. Some of the tools and frameworks include discovery via research, customer personas; journey mapping; service blueprinting; jobs-to-be-done; desirability, viability, and feasibility (DVF) framework; double diamond framework; concept testing, prototyping, and change management. Customer experience design examines the whole lifespan of a customer’s experience with a company or brand through multiple physical and digital touch points, rather than focusing just on a single website or a mobile application development. Human Centred Design (HCD) training is becoming a strong differentiator as the new business models demand an increased focus on customer service and creative problem solving.
