    The MSc. in Strategic Planning is the capstone of the core modules in the MBA programme, as it draws from the main business disciplines covered in the other six core modules. This course is designed to assist managers to develop an overall strategic understanding of the organization beyond any one functional area. It looks at the fundamental questions at the heart of strategic planning “What does an organisation want to achieve? How does it go about achieving it?” and helps to formulate suitable answers. In a world of rapid change, organisations that can identify, design and effectively and efficiently implement these needs, are more likely to survive and prosper.
