Modules
The core modules include:
- Global Markets & Consumers - You explore
the dynamic and changing relationship between consumers, customers,
stakeholders and business and consider issues such as
globalisation, consumerism and personalisation.

and practice to develop your understanding of the process, purpose
and practice of a strategic market audit.

themes: service encounters, quality, design and development, and
customer relationships.

assess the impact of business on current environmental concerns and
issues relating to corporate social responsibility and
environmental sustainability.

and practical techniques are explored, including product and
corporate branding, and the role of corporate responsibility in
adding value to business and markets.

importance of sustainable relationships between internal and
external business and the community, when businesses are market
leaders.

individual selfdirected research and business-related research
projects.
