Course Description:

'' Public organisations and social enterprises such as charities are going through increasingly rapid change. This course allows you to choose two current management topics and work with other students to capture current practice relevant to your own context. The course modularity is designed to provide you with choice, to facilitate collaboration and to assist you in tailoring it to your specialist field or employer requirements. The modules are likely to include such topics as partnership and multi-agency working, evidence-based management, stakeholder engagement and governance. Collaborative activities and tutoring will be provided online allowing support by specialist tutors and facilitating networking with other students addressing similar issues.

This course is designed for anyone who has an interest in researching and applying contemporary thinking and practice in the domain of public services (for example, hospitals, education institutions, armed forces) and social enterprises (for example, charities, NGOs, civil society organisations, not-for-profit companies). During the course, you will work with other students from different backgrounds to investigate two current topics in depth. This phase will involve online collaborative working and independent research. Much of the detailed subject content of the course will be generated by you and your fellow students as you build upon the introduction we provide. The two topics you choose will be drawn from a group of five that reflect contemporary management and policy issues. These topics will vary from presentation to presentation, but initially they may include areas such as governance, stakeholder relationships, partnership working, social marketing, managing performance improvement and evidence-based management.

You will learn about: contemporary issues in management and policy and their applicability to your own context, the location of sources of current thinking and how to evaluate these opinions and online collaborative team working.

Vocational relevance
The course is particularly suitable for those following a career as a manager or practitioner in the international, national and local public and voluntary sectors, and the private agencies that work alongside these sectors.
