The module covers basic theories and applications of statistics in different functional areas of business. Its aim is to help students to understand why they are conducting a specific analysis and how to interpret the statistical output. The module also provides a practical introduction to the use of SPSS in statistical analysis. Fundamental quantitative methods to solve decision problems faced by managers in business will be analysed. The course develops two important quantitative skills: 1) identification of the appropriate methodology for solving the managerial problem; and 2) clearly and precisely specifying the interpretation of the analysis produced. As a result of applying the appropriate methodology and clearly reporting the interpretation of the analysis, the student can then recommend a sensible and understandable business decision. Central to this module is how an organisation can best manage its resources to produce goods and services that are valued by the customer. In particular, issues of operations strategy, quality, human and materials management, technology and systems of planning and control are explored with a view to how they all integrate to provide an organisation with good competitive edge. Topics covered include the origins of human resource management, models of HRM, international HRM, culture & people management, recruitment and selection, performance and reward, training and development and employee involvement Strategic planning deals with the management of change from the formulation of goals through to their implementation.
