MGT6241   Global Challenges: Future, Ethics and Sustainability (I)   (0 credits)

Description

The module integrates programme learning outcomes, discussing global themes that will be revisited throughout the programme. Manufacturing/engineering organisations function in complex and dynamic environments, where decisions and trade-offs have to be made. The module covers a broad range of global issues that impact on manufacturing/engineering organisations and include themes such as the global environment and global trends, cross-cultural management/negotiations and the future of manufacturing/engineering. It integrates learning across the first four sessions and provides the framework for the following module - Global Challenges: Future, Ethics and Sustainability (II). Guest lectures from established practitioners, along with integrated learning across the modules/workplace, provide further support for skills development e.g. in the area of global engineering challenges.
