GMBA70-306: Business Planning for Entrepreneurial Ventures Part A (5CP)
Entrepreneurial thought and action are increasingly necessary skills in the design, development and execution of any business. They are particularly valuable in the process of business planning for both current and future ventures. The objective of this subject is to introduce you to the fundamentals of entrepreneurial management as well as the mindsets, tools, resources and critical action steps that can (and should) be applied to the process of business planning. This is an interactive and highly experiential subject. Your learnings will be based on readings, case studies and in-class discussions that will present a series of concepts, frameworks and heuristics to help you understand the process, challenges and opportunities of managing entrepreneurially in organisations of all sizes and types. In a collaborative team environment, you will use your learnings to identify a business opportunity of your choice and develop a lean business plan. You will also outline the next steps and stages you will need in order to develop a comprehensive plan (which you will complete in Business Planning for Entrepreneurial Ventures Part B).

GMBA71-203: Economics for Managers (10CP)
Economics for Managers introduces both microeconomics and macroeconomics for global business managers. The economic theories are supplemented with an emphasis on practical applications to real-world business problems. Microeconomics is the study of individual decision-making units (consumers and firms) and their interaction in a market economy. An understanding of this assists managers when faced with choices and issues such as how much to produce, what price to charge, whether to shut down production in the short run and the impact of new, cheaper substitute products. Macroeconomic principles assist managers in their need to analyse, predict and respond to changes in an uncertain economic environment. Topics covered include inflation, unemployment and the influence of monetary and fiscal policy. The skills that students will develop in this subject are essential for successful managers. This will certainly establish a vital component in most jobs in the multidisciplinary fields of business.

This subject addresses the opportunities and challenges of leading a successful and sustainable global organisation.

The course will cover technical issues (e.g. exchange rates, supply chain management) but will concentrate more on organisational and cultural dimensions of global business. It will address different management roles and structural implications of a multi-national enterprise’s strategic direction, examining also the different modes and methods for conducting international business, with particular emphasis on foreign direct investment and developing and managing joint ventures.

GMBA71-205: Managerial Finance (10CP)
Managerial Finance provides a comprehensive introduction to corporate financial management. The subject links the mathematics of finance and discounted cash flows to finance theory, valuation and investment analysis. Portfolio theory is used to provide a foundation for determining the relationship between risk and return which is, in turn, extended into an analysis of capital structure and methods of estimating a firm’s cost of capital. The focus of this subject is on creating shareholder value, with due consideration given to the role of financial management within the broader context of corporate governance.
