This module allows students to think critically and evaluate circumstances and identify possible challenges or opportunities that might exist in a particular department such as marketing, human resources or supply chain management. This is very exciting as the students are from different backgrounds and have various opportunities or challenges and guide them through the content of the textbook on how to identify these challenges and opportunities and finding ways through practical thinking supported by theory on solving it. This tutoring is quite fulfilling as it can be closely related to that of supervising a honours or masters student in a research topic. Show less
