EMBA6001: EMBA Report
2024 unit information
This unit requires students to provide leadership on a significant strategic issue facing themselves, their organisation or a related organisation. Students will be asked to develop a project that can be presented to the organisation's Board or senior management or equivalent that will have a significant impact on the organisation or themselves and will also allow the student to demonstrate their leadership in respect to this issue. Students will be required to apply the cross-disciplinary knowledge, leadership skills and personal attributes developed during the degree to this strategic issue. Thus, as in other parts of the course, the approach to the project must be integrative, applying the theoretical knowledge gained in a practical and relevant manner and take into account the broader context in which the organisation operates. This is the final component of the Executive MBA, and as such, will allow students to draw on the content and experiences from throughout the course. Students will work closely with an academic mentor to ensure the project is both of substantial and practical value to the individual and organisation and that it is completed with academic rigour. Students are also encouraged to work with an in-company sponsor, as appropriate. In addition, students will complete a final reflection that identifies the key capabilities they have developed and explain how these have affected their professional development.
