To present and discuss the many models of strategic management and to embed these into social and economic wholes, and further to show the connection between theory and praxis. Further still, to show the benefits of working with complex understandings of the socio-economic nexus in contemporary business practice, and the benefits of advanced theoretic understandings in developing strategy. Much of the course-work will consist of individual work with strategic cases, and a reflective practice of developing a personal approach to strategy-work.

• Describe and compare different perspective on organisations within business economy and leadership; structure, politics, human resource and symbolic perspective.
• Describe the basic concepts within the perspectives mention above.
