Research Methods for Managers

A substantial piece of action research carried out within your own organisation or industry over the final months of your EMBA, this requires you to devise and conduct your own research and apply appropriate theory to a central issue of organisational importance

Consultancy Challenge

A key part of the action orientation of the EMBA programme, this involves a one-week group consultancy intervention for a client organisation. It gives you scope to test out your new knowledge and skills in an unfamiliar environment, thus helping to embed your learning from the programme as a whole. A preparatory workshop, held before you meet your client, introduces you to some of the key consultancy skills and tools

Dissertation

Work-based assignments

After each of the modules, you complete a practical, work-focused assignment, where you apply and evaluate some of the theories you have just learnt, effectively acting as an internal consultant and generating actionable recommendations for your organisation. Covering all areas of business operations – from strategy and marketing to operations and finance – this work will engage you with all parts of your own organisation.

The assignments allow you to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the concepts and theories you have been introduced to. Most importantly, you will be able to apply these to real business situations.
