The Practice of Management
The Warwick MBA by full-time studyDesigned to develop your skills in managing yourself, other people, groups, and ultimately organisations, our Practice of Management module is fundamental to our study programme and to you achieving your personal and career goals.
The Practice of Management was developed as a direct response to the needs of organisations recruiting MBA graduates. They have played a key role in creating the programme. Corporate recruiters and the business community have validated our initiative and we have seen that the experience and skills gained are highly attractive to future employers.
It is delivered as a double module through your first and second term by a range of skills specialists. Through a series of practical workshops, you will use a broad range of learning methods including experiential exercises, action-learning, individual and group work, role plays, reflective exercises, and self assessment inventories to build your confidence and understanding. It is deeply involving, and focuses on equipping you with a rich set of softer interpersonal, influencing, and communication skills. These skills are vital for organisational performance and managerial career success in modern, complex organisations.
Team-work is a vital skill. You will complete a team consultancy project. Each team is charged with the responsibility and challenge of delivering and implementing a pro bono project that creates positive meaningful change, learning, innovation, and/or development inside an organisation. In order to make a positive contribution for the public good, we work mostly with either small or not-for-profit organisations. You'll really see the impact of your work, and you can be sure your client will benefit from your team's efforts.
You will consolidate your learning by individually analysing the effectiveness of your team and the factors contributing to and constraining its performance.
