Background to the module This module should be completed at the end of the taught part of your programme. It is assumed that you have successfully completed the first two semesters of study and therefore have a thorough grasp of the taught elements of the programme. You will be expected to draw on the learning that you have achieved in the taught modules. The Applied Management Project is the final assessed piece of work of the masters’ programme. It is designed to simulate a realistic management situation, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to use the knowledge and skills acquired through the taught element of the course. The purpose is to bring together the taught elements of the programme, re-enforcing their relationships enabling you to move from the understanding of a discrete knowledge base to synthesising and exploring new areas in more detail. It simulates the working environment where individuals are constantly required to combine knowledge in different ways and increase their understanding in different areas. The AMP gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of business. The aims of this module are to enable you to take the knowledge understanding and skills you have been developing in individual modules and use them in a complex, multifunctional situation. • formulate a problem • identify information needs • retrieve information • synthesise information • produce creative solutions • produce a well argued and supported report in response to the problem identified • work effectively in a group • work effectively in a time constrained situation • reflect on the learning achieved through the process It is the vehicle through which you as a masters students can show that you are able to work at Masters level as defined in the University’s level M descriptor: Students ‘should be working within complex, unpredictable and normally specialised fields demanding innovative work which involves exploring the current limits of knowledge’. 2. How it works 1. You must form groups of 8 to begin the work. You may choose your own groups to work with, but the responsibility is yours. Each group should contain students from the same award programme although students of “Business and Management” may choose to work with any other group, or may form a group within their own programme. 2. You will be given a business scenario, together with a small number of chosen articles to read. This pack of information will comprise a problem, issue or area of
