Programme Overview

The programme focuses on enterprise, competitiveness and integration. It prepares students for roles in business and entrepreneurial activities where the ability to solve business problems by application and integration of the various business disciplines is seen as critical. The business focus ranges from small startup enterprises to large firms and acknowledges the global dimension of competition, the rapid changes that are occurring in the ‘new economy' and the need for managers and entrepreneurs to be functionally competent across a range of disciplines and understand fully the implications of their strategies and actions in one domain on those in another.
