This course deals with the operations required to produce goods and services within the supply chain and involves concepts and techniques for design, planning, analysing and control of supply chain operations within and between organisations. It deals also with the contemporary green supply chain concepts and internationalisation. The course provides definitions, tools and methods for analysing operations including facilities planning, resource allocation and scheduling and production philosophies (JIT and MRP), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Distribution Resource Planning (DRP), process design, operations networks, and product design. The course also deals with Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) approach and Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR).
An understanding of the research process is important in making business decisions because it enables the decision-maker to be critical of information received. This course takes a practical approach to business research. In this course students will develop a research proposal, learn how to design and conduct focus groups, in-depth interviews, observation research and survey research. Students will learn how to use SPSS to analyse data and turn raw data into useable, relevant and meaningful management information that can be used to facilitate management decision making.
This course will enable students to display skills in analysing procurement, inventory and distribution systems, including the ability to determine how to deploy limited capital so that total system costs are minimised and desired customer service levels are maintained; show understanding of the principles of Pareto analysis and know how to apply these principles to the logistics system; develop and use materials requirements planning schemes, and to know when such schemes are appropriate; show an awareness of different warehouse storage systems and to know the advantages and disadvantages of each; examine critically the appropriateness of automation in any typical warehousing situation; and show some insight into the relevant issues concerning transportation and physical distribution system planning.
This course provides an integrative culmination to the development of student knowledge and skills presented in the earlier courses in his/her area of major study. It is specifically designed to provide students with a systematic approach to environmental analysis, strategic choice, enacting strategy in an increasingly complex, globalised business environment. The course focuses on management decision making from a business strategy viewpoint. The use of analytical tools and processes as a means of developing and improving managerial decision making is developed in this course. The study of business strategy should be seen as the capstone of a professional business education. Assessment is by written assignment and examination. Since this is an integrative course which draws on prior subject areas, it is advisable that students complete this course in the final year of their study.
This course examines the dynamics and challenges that today's managerial leaders increasingly face as the worlds of business, work and organisational life become more 'globalised' and internationally integrated. Increasingly, managerial leaders are required to do their work across borders and cultures, spanning national and international boundaries, and engaging with people and systems that sometimes differ vastly. Organisations that operate in such international contexts thus require those people who take on management and leadership roles to have competencies that are different and particularly built around cross-cultural and transnational mindsets and capabilities. This course allows for the development of such competencies. The overall focus is on general management of organisations that operate in diverse and multicultural environments, but because people are so central to organisational success, the leadership and people management challenges in such transnational contexts are emphasised.
This course aims to develop an understanding and appreciation of the complex and evolving nature of organisations and their environments, how organisations operate and function, and the challenges related to successfully managing organisations and their resources. This course lays the foundation for a career in management. In this course the student will learn about the nature of organisations, the external environmental dynamics that interplay with organisations, the internal subsystems, structures and processes of organisations and the terrain, role, tasks, functions and required skills of managers. Students are exposed to the challenges related to a career in management in a changing world. A study is made of the evolution of management as field of study and of managerial practices. Students are introduced to the role requirements of modern-day managers and are acquainted with various conceptual, analytical and practical tools and methodologies that are and can be used in managing organisations in complex and ever changing environments
The study of marketing channels addresses the distribution or place element of the marketing mix. The course takes a managerial approach to the distribution problem. Channel intermediaries, such as wholesalers and retailers are discussed. A formal process for the design of an effective and efficient marketing channel is examined. The impact of the other elements of the marketing mix on channel management is considered. Channel management issues such as power and conflict, communication and channel evaluation are also addressed.
This course will cover the importance of quality assurance, quality control and quality improvement to the success of a business, how these functions may be integrated into the business, and the methods and techniques in their application. Students will relate business strategy, benchmarking, reliability and system effectiveness, control charts, human factors and cost management to the overall improvement of quality. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be dealt with where appropriate and will be related to economic and organisational objectives of the business.
Each module is assessed by academic work comprising written assignments, case study reports, essays, examination as determined by the subject profile. The assessment criterion varies from module to module and level to level.
Generally the curriculums for all levels are taught over 4 terms of 12 weeks. Modules are conducted in formal instructor-led classroom sessions where students are introduced to the course discipline. Each term will cover 2-3 modules with 50 contact hours per module. Lectures are 2-hour sessions and Tutorial 3-hour sessions weekly.
