The Portsmouth MBA is a highly successful programme accredited by the Association
of MBAs (AMBA), which demonstrates our high quality, reputation and comparability
with other top Business Schools´ MBAs. AMBA is the only independent, recognised
accreditation for MBA programmes, ensuring the course meets the highest global
standards.
We provide full-time MBA (International) and part-time MBA (Executive) programmes for experienced graduate managers from any discipline, who aspire to accelerate their
career development.
Our programmes will particularly suit those who wish to:
o pursue a strategic-level management programme that focuses on multidisciplinary
perspectives and managerial competencies required to lead and facilitate strategic change and understand contemporary organisational challenges
o further develop their career in strategic management and organisational transformation within a global context
Contents
Part One
You will develop your knowledge of the key functions of management and explore the
international business environment. Units include:
o Management Functions explores finance, marketing and operations and how they influence and improve the overall management of an organisation.
o Business Context (MBA Executive) or International Business Context (MBA International) relates behavioural, economic and UK legal concepts to the management of organisations and their business contexts. The MBA International programme explores cross-cultural behaviour and international economics instead of the UK legal
concepts.
o Integrative Management (MBA Executive) or International Integrative Management (MBA International) introduces activity-based learning and problem solving to the concepts and issues identified in the other part one subjects. Professional/personal
development activities and a team building/leadership residential are also included. The International MBA programme emphasises the international dimension of management in this unit.
o Master Classes are on-going throughout the course.
o Consultancy and Business Innovation spans both part one and part two. Operating as part of a small team, usually at board level, this unit will provide you with an opportunity to directly assist an external organisation in finding innovative yet realistic solutions to its current and future strategic challenges.
Part Two
You will develop strategic insights and capabilities on a corporate international
business level, based on the knowledge you have acquired in part one. Units include:
o Strategy and Change addresses key issues that shape organisations, their orientation, transformation and change in complex and uncertain business environments.
o Management Decisions and Research Methods explores quantitative approaches to decision analysis and information systems, and provides detailed guidance for planning and undertaking an effective management research project.
o Strategic Leadership aims to develop your analytical and decision-making skills in complex strategic situations. It applies the concepts explored in Strategy and Change to a variety of corporate organisational concepts. This subject emphasises group-based activities and includes company visits, external corporate speakers and the European
residential.
Part Three
In your Research Project you will undertake a substantial management research project (dissertation) that combines a review of previous research undertaken in your chosen topic with your own data collection and analysis. The research project provides a unique opportunity for you to demonstrate the subject knowledge you have acquired,
as well as your analytical abilities and problem-solving skills - both are highly regarded by potential employers. During this phase your research will be supervised by an individually allocated, experienced academic, with expertise in your chosen topic area.
