Overview

Module aims and purpose


ÌýThis module will take place in a practice based sector specific setting e.g. private sector (big 4 consultancy); public sector (government offices); third sector (charitable organisation). Specialist guest speakers will be invited to present and/or be part of a panel that will engage in dialogue with students about their business challenge projects. The guest panel will offer practice based advice and guidance recognising that whilst governance and innovation issues may have commonalities, each sector has its unique structures and demands.
