MAORIDEV 738 : Tikanga M?here i te Ao M?ori: Strategy

Postgraduate course

Project description

This course will introduce the discipline of strategic thinking, to add to the m?tauranga M?ori of business and economics, as well as the critical aspects of economic, corporate, business level, and international strategy. At all times, we will consider the relevance of course content for M?ori economic development, specifically how strategy and strategic thinking can help realise the full potential of M?ori businesses, knowledge, people and resources. The course ethos and assessment design will compel students to grapple frameworks of strategic thinking and apply them to real-world scenarios as well as to their own organisations and careers and to M?ori organisations. In this way we are assessing not only the students� ability to understand the materials, but their ability to critically engage with them, apply them to in M?ori contexts, and collaborate with classmates in exercises and assignments. Written and verbal communication are therefore both important as well as operating with integrity in team environments. The assessment structure is therefore specifically designed for the Graduate Profile Capabilities outlined below.
