MBA Centre

Rationale

Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines.

An MBA is considered a professional Master's degree as well as a traditional or academic Master's degree. However, completion of a professional MBA does not usually result in admission to a Ph.D. (program for research-oriented engagements) although it could be helpful. Schools that offer the MBA are usually known as either management or business schools.

Programme Structure

Module Structure

 

Programme Guides, Learning Contents

The Learning Contents for customising include three courses or stages as indicated below allowing two exit points for the students who, for any reason, would prefer to have an option of taking each course at their convenience. The individual Postgraduate Certificate or Diploma in Management awards, see Programme Guides below, will not be made to those enrolling for the full programme. 

You are free to rename the programmes and build your own module structures for customising from the units and options indicated below or use any of the other learning centres according to your market requirements. 

Apart from the free Readings suggested in the module teaching plans and the resource pages, and all the free Learner Support, Case Study and Activity, Assignment and Assessment Units available to all students and management scholars throughout the word, the modules subscribed or selected for customisation will have a 'once only' nominal charge to cover our customising and set-up costs.  There is also a small 'module per student' fee for the copyright transfer to the client institution payable at the enrolment. 

The Moodle-based Online Business School services remain free for the users of the programmes and learning contents originated by us or our associates.  Our OBS would be pleased to manage and deliver any of your existing programmes for distance learning.

If required, further information of a British University Accreditation are available on Cooperation with British Universities page here.

Strategic Renewal: Becoming a High-Performance Organization Michael A. Mische, University of Southern California ISBN: 0-13-021919-3, Publisher: Prentice Hall The objective of Strategic Renewal is to explore the dynamics of strategy formulation and organisational change with the goal of creating high performance and revitalizing the organization. Unlike more traditional approaches, the intent of Strategic Renewal is not to provide a formula for strategy or prescriptive process for strategy development. The reality is that there is nothing strategic about prescriptive frameworks or the canned strategy models that are offered by management consultants. Rather, Strategic Renewal presents a "point of view" and a general blueprint with deep and contemplative insights into the process and thinking of what it means to craft a strategy for high performance and strategic revitalization.
