Module details:

To prepare you to undertake a strategic audit of a global organisation and assess its capability and capacity to deliver across a range of business and marketing strategies before making recommendations, based upon a full critical evaluation of the various options available. You will be required to apply a range of financial and risk assessment models to support decision making in relation to achieving the organisations vision, mission, and strategic business and marketing objectives.

Senior level marketers need to be able to identify and prioritise key stakeholders, and the influence they have in determining the role for corporate reputation management in organisations. This module will enable you to critically appraise the corporate brand and the importance of digital communications in developing corporate positioning and building brand equity. Learners will be able to recommend and justify digital channels and tools effectively to support corporate reputation.

The landscape we are operating in is changing across the world, with the climate crisis and the need to drive a more sustainable future. The need to move away from focusing on growth and profit at any cost, and build more sustainable led strategies which focus on people, planet and profit and deliver well-being for all, is high up on the global agenda. With this shift comes the need for countries and organisations to assess where they are on the sustainability scale, understand the challenges and opportunities and authentically demonstrate their commitment to creating more sustainable living conditions alongside commercial needs and objectives. In this module candidates will look at the different role marketing has to play within a global organisation and in today’s global economy. Candidates will explore the future risks, opportunities and challenges which allow them to inform decisions and recommendations in the development and implementation of sustainable strategies to meet the needs of the future operating landscape. The module will also equip executives with the knowledge, know-how and thinking to not only build sustainable strategies, but also communicate, execute and evolve them effectively both internally and externally to their key stakeholders.

The new constant is a disruptive state of flux, winning managers will be those who embrace entrepreneurship and create transformational change and value for their organisation. You will investigate the dynamics of innovation and change, and this unit will enable you to identify the key learning processes in driving distributive strategies.
