The primary perspective adopted is that of the general manager at the head of a business entitya?\"the corporation, business, division or planta?\"whose main responsibility is the overall success of his or her organisation.  The course concentrates on the skills and actions required of the general manager for the development, communication and implementation of strategic organisational choices in the context of complex business situations. Two related areas comprise the core of the course.  The first, strategy formulation, address the goals and objectives of the course, and the means by which these goals and objectives are to be achieved.  The second area, strategy implementation, concentrates on how the general manager deploys the organisationa??s resources to implement, control and improve the formulated strategy. In order to capture the pragmatic, action oriented nature of the general managera??s task and the complexity of the environment in which he or she operates, part of the course is taught through the case method.  In addition, students will be exposed to a range of practitioner or theoretical readings on the subject.","CrossModule":"","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-0-0-0-7","Prerequisite":"BMA5003 and BMA5009","Preclusion":"","Corequisite":""},{"ModuleCode":"BMA5123","ModuleTitle":"Managing for Environmental Business Sustainability","AcadYear":"2013/2014","SemesterName":"Special Term I","Faculty":"SCHOOL OF BUSINESS","Department":"DEAN'S OFFICE (BIZ)","ModuleDescription":"For the sake of the their market reputations, public relations, regulatory management, access to capital, and long term resilience, firms must recognize the many ways\r\nin which they affect the environment and natural resources over the long term, and the ways that the environment and natural resources, in turn, affect the firms’ long term\r\nsustainability. This course will take students through a series of topics to help them examine how firms, and the markets on which they depend, are affected by commodity\r\nprices, government environmental and resource policies, and consumer attitudes to the environment. The students will review a number of analytical issues related to\r\nsustainability mapping, life cycle analysis, carbon finance, risk management, political risk analysis, renewable energy investment, ISO compliance, and sustainability metrics to provide practical skills and insights. Through these first two parts of the course the students will gradually build the business case for sustainability.

The ability to harness and protect intellectual property is of paramount importance in the competitive market place. With advances in computer technology and the advent of Internet, intellectual property is no longer only confined to the "brick-and-mortar" world but is also found in the new world of cyberspace. The primary objective of this module is to equip students with a general understanding of the subject of intellectual property rights and its significance as a tool for wealth creation. Next, the students are presented with various issues related to intellectual property that have arisen largely as a result of the growing use of the Internet as tool for publication and distribution of information. These issues which span across areas like the law, business and public polices are both interesting to study and explore. With the view of further broadening the students' perspective in this subject matter, comparisons are frequently made between the position in Singapore and those elsewhere in the world.","CrossModule":"","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"3-0-0-2-5","Prerequisite":"","Preclusion":"","Corequisite":""},{"ModuleCode":"GEK1066","ModuleTitle":"Engaging the natural environment in ASEAN","AcadYear":"2013/2014","SemesterName":"Special Term I","Faculty":"UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION","Department":"OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS","ModuleDescription":"This module introduces students to environmental issues, collaborations and services between Singapore and ASEAN countries.

But economic success often overshadows critical social problems that arise in tandem with such rapid development. This module, offered only in special summer sessions, takes a hands-on approach to examining critical issues in social development, in particular those revolving around local empowerment, democratization, and sustainability. Working within a framework of participatory action research, and collaborating with peers at another ASEAN university, this rigorous course includes substantial fieldwork conducted among development projects outside \r\nof Singapore.","CrossModule":"","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"0-8-0-10-12","Prerequisite":"","Preclusion":"","Corequisite":""},{"ModuleCode":"ZB3288","ModuleTitle":"Advanced UROPS in Computational Biology I","AcadYear":"2013/2014","SemesterName":"Special Term I","Faculty":"SCIENCE","Department":"DEAN'S OFFICE (SCIENCE)","ModuleDescription":"This module is intended for students to conduct mini-research projects that make use of computational methods and informatics tools to solve specific biological problems or develop bioinformatics databases and software.
