Course content

The Strathclyde MBA programme structure has three distinct building blocks at its core:

  • Building Capabilities
  • Responsible Leadership
  • Strategy in Practice

Each of these building blocks comprises a series of 10 credit modules which clearly embrace the specific leadership challenges and responsibilities facing business leaders.

Building Capabilities provides you with a solid foundation in the management of key functional areas found in today’s business organisations and incorporates an introduction to developing your Consulting Skills. This is further developed, in a highly experiential way, later in the programme where all students play an active part in the Consulting Impact Challenge.   

Operations & Project Management

You'll explore the principles of contemporary operations and project management in this module. In doing so, you'll evaluate the inherent tension between managing ‘business as usual’ and change. You'll also examine how these systems of management can contribute to the strategic success of their organisation.

Learning objectives
  • deploy operations management principles and techniques to support the strategy of the organisation
  • use project management principles and techniques to support the strategy of the organisation
  • explain how project management and operations management can be effectively integrated within organisations

Marketing Management

Marketing plays a central role in creating, managing, and delivering value across the supply chain within every organisation. In this module, we examine the concept of marketing and how it operates within consumer, business-to-business, service, and public organisations. You will examine the underlying concepts and frameworks that help organisations to design appropriate strategies.

Over the past decade or so, we have witnessed significant changes in the way in which customers interact with organisations. Developments in technology and data management have led to a re-appraisal of how organisations interact with customers and design relevant marketing strategies. You will address relevant strategies in key decision areas to reflect this necessary change.

In this module, you will also learn how product, pricing, distribution, and promotion strategies add value.

Learning objectives:

Consulting Skills (leading to Consulting Impact Challenge)

Many MBA students wish to move into consulting careers, but the requirement for a consulting skill set transcends a particular job role. This module will support you to develop inter-personal, critical thinking, engagement and influencing skills, which will be useful in a variety of roles. This module will help you develop those skills and is assessed at the capstone stage by the Consulting Impact Challenge, where small teams will work on a live client problem in consulting mode.

Responsible Leadership comprises a set of modules which will ensure that you are able to lead strategically, sustainably and ethically, to ensure excellent organisational performance. This involves personal reflection of yourself as a leader and your ability to engage and motivate others around you. Equally, a responsible leader needs to understand the wider context of corporate social responsibility in a Responsible Organisation, meeting stakeholder expectations and operating to economic, social and environmental requirements. The Responsible Organisation module is further developed and realised via the Boardroom Challenge.

Responsible management practice is integral to leadership. By using case study and practice-informed teaching, students will engage with examples, outcomes, and limits of responsible management practice.

Being able to navigate this in the context of a boardroom is a particular challenge, and the module leads to the assessed Boardroom Challenge at the capstone stage of the programme.

Together, the Strategy in Practice modules address how organisations survive, become highly successful, and remain financially viable and legitimate in a global, rapidly changing environment. You will address how leaders make this happen and learn how to use analysis, tools and techniques to develop and implement successful strategies.

This module will prepare you to transition to higher managerial roles, the responsibilities of which go beyond contributing to strategy and leading strategy and strategic change.

Macroeconomics and International Business Environment

This module will examine various long-term and important drivers of the international business environment including developments in the macroeconomy. You will develop a strong grounding in the fundamental aspects of the macroeconomy before exploring how economic shocks affect different features of the global economy, and how economic policy can appropriately respond to developments in the macroeconomy.

You will be equipped with new knowledge and a framework that you can use to assimilate developments in the external business environment and inform your current and future decision-making.

Learning objectives:
  • understand the fundamentals of the operation of the macroeconomy
  • understand the key drivers of growth in an economy (both developed and developing) and how they can shape business decisions and outcomes

  • apply methods to analyse the external business environment to understand the key drivers and their relevance and impact in an organisational context, and develop effective strategies to best respond to such trends

Economic Analysis for Strategists

Markets can often be highly complex and judgement can be clouded by this complexity. By taking an approach based on Microeconomic analysis, you will learn to undertake a rigorous and ‘emotionless’ approach to analysing opportunities in existing and new markets, and the potential these hold.

This provides an alternative but complementary perspective on the assessment of business activity, looking externally rather than internally, at the consequences which are influenced by the nature of demand and the behaviour of competitors.

Learning objectives:

  • learn about a range of decisions businesses face in a market environment
  • understand the impact of market structure and competition on profitability
  • gain command of the issues associated with entering foreign markets
  • appreciate the impact of competition policy on business activity
  • develop an ability to apply this thinking to contemporary business issues

You will then move on to select electives from a range of topical and relevant subjects which allows you to tailor the MBA to suit your own personal preferences and interests.

All students take the Consulting Impact Challenge and the Boardroom Challenge – this stage of your MBA journey is an opportunity to integrate the learning and experience from your career to date and from across the programme by working both independently and in teams on these two challenges.

At Strathclyde we want our MBA students to engage with the latest challenges facing business, throughout their learning journey.

One way that we enable that is by offering specialist electives. We offer a number of electives every year, all led by subject specialists, and all containing insights and learning based on the world-leading research we pursue.

And where we think it’s beneficial to our students, we also bring in experts from outside Strathclyde Business School too.

The list of electives can alter year to year dependent on interest and expertise. Recent popular electives include Project Management, Global Marketing Strategy and Developing Effective Consultancy Skills.

Electives are run at some International centres but a highlight of the Strathclyde MBA calendar is the annual MBA Summer School which takes place in Glasgow over May and June.

The Summer School is open to all study routes of the MBA who have reached elective study stage, and is a wonderful opportunity to study your elective choices alongside a group of like-minded international colleagues.

The final part of the Strathclyde MBA is the capstone project, and you will be able to choose the MBA project that best matches your ambitions – you can opt for a research project, entrepreneurial project or consultancy project.

Throughout your studies, business engagement activities at both a module and programme level will ensure that your MBA journey is a highly experiential one, and reflective of current issues impacting the business world.

The Consulting Impact Challenge

Building on Consulting Skills - and relying on active learning – you will work in small groups under time pressure to react to a client brief. Using relevant ideas, tools, and techniques from across the MBA journey, you will aim to produce insights that can generate impact.

The problems faced by clients are often messy and complex, and you will need to use teamwork effectively to move to a successful outcome. This learning journey is completed by engaging in reflective practice to cement learning.

Learning objectives:
  • understand and critique the idea of consultancy and a consultancy process
  • demonstrate mastery of methods in uncovering and analysing issues in a specific organisational setting
  • evaluate, select and apply relevant MBA models, tools and techniques to illustrate options and demonstrate potential outcomes and value-add
  • design options for improvement and make recommendations for action which address the needs of clients' organisations
  • identify and assess the impact of those recommendations for relevant stakeholders

Boardroom Challenge

Building on the work done on management practice in the Responsible Organisation, the Boardroom Challenge is an opportunity for students to engage with enacting responsible management practice with particular emphasis on managing people and workplaces. You will look at the relationship between fair work and business impact, workers’ wellbeing and societal trends. You will ultimately have to present your work on the impact of investments in fair work, perhaps integrating ideas from other modules, in a boardroom setting.

Learning objectives:
  • demonstrate understanding of key theories, concepts and debates relating to responsible management practice
  • understand and evaluate key trends associated with sustainable and responsible management practice, and reflect critically on how these practices are enacted within specific organisational contexts
  • analyse, appraise and collate intelligence on the individual/workforce, social, environmental and economic impacts of responsible management practice, with particular reference to decent work/fair work and workplace practice

  • demonstrate critical thinking and reflection in relation to responsible management practice in a range of business and organisational contexts

MBA Project

The capstone element of the Strathclyde MBA is the project, which aims to integrate and consolidate the knowledge you have gained from across the MBA programme and allows you to examine an issue of your choice over an extended period of time.

You can opt for one of three ways to conduct the MBA project:

Research Dissertation

You will undertake substantial research in an area you are interested in. Adopting a traditional Masters project approach, you will complete a research proposal for a piece of original management/leadership research. This will lead to a research dissertation that includes implications for practice.

Consultancy Project

With this option, you will design and lead a consultancy project leading to operational costs improvement, enhanced customer experience or transformed business model within an existing organisation or a similar approved outcome.

Entrepreneurial Business Plan

You have the option to undertake and develop a new business or social enterprise idea
through the stages for the preparation of an entrepreneurial idea. This will include detailed relevant business artefacts including a business plan, marketing and finance projects, short and long-term strategies.

Triple-accredited business school

In this shifting context, Strathclyde Business School has introduced the Global Practitioner initiative – this is an organisational innovation aimed at placing practical expertise and content relevance alongside academic knowledge and intellectual challenge at the heart of a high-quality, transformative student experience.

Bridging theory and practice, Global Practitioners play a crucial role in stimulating and facilitating learning for our MBA, executive education and specialist Masters students.
