Industry Based Management Degrees
No doubt your organisation is looking to
improve performance, develop an edge on competitors, build capabilities and
develop the leadership skills of your staff. In the 21st Century, the key to
organisational success is in harnessing the skills, knowledge and energy of
employees and supporting and encouraging them to strive for excellence.
Leadership and management development programs provide opportunities to
learn and reflect on new knowledge and innovative approaches in
organisational management and development.
The Strategic Partnerships unit of the
University of South Australia works as an education partner with a broad
cross section of organisations to develop the skills, capabilities and
performance of their people within the context of leadership and management
development programs.
We can help your organisation develop
customised Corporate Education programs that are flexible and relevant.
These programs cover contemporary topics and challenge participants’
thinking about important leadership and management issues facing your
organisation. The programs are designed to:
-
Deliver leading edge knowledge integrated with practice application.
-
Raise the level of skills and abilities of your staff and their understanding of your organisation.
-
Enhance strategic management and leadership capacity.
-
Promote teamwork and collaboration and lifelong learning.
-
Produce improved performance for your organisation through your people.
A key element of Strategic
Partnerships' success is its ability to meet industry needs by:
-
tailoring course content to be more industry-specific, by adding relevant readings, case studies and guest lecturers as well as customising assignments to application in specific industry/organisational needs;
-
delivering courses at organisation/industry nominated sites;
-
including industry partners in a learning cohort;
-
be flexible about the mode of delivery - which can include face to face, intensive or online, or a combination of the above to meet organisational needs and times.
Strategic Partnerships
prides itself on its rapid response, flexibility in regards to overall
approach and personalising the relationship to ensure long term commitment,
trust and referrals.
Some of the tailored employer sponsored University degree programs offered to groups of managers and executives of organisations include:
Teaching and Learning
Our approach to graduate education is to facilitate discussion amongst participants, relating theory to application. There is an expectation that there will be a high degree of interaction and participation by students in a non-passive adult learning environment. A considerable amount of learning comes from student peers as well as their lecturers. This occurs through the process of thinking and contributing to discussions either in class or online. A normal class format may include a brief introduction lecture, followed by class exercises including presentations, role plays and facilitated discussion around topic material. Online format includes questions with a response period, followed by online discussion with input from the lecturer.
Lecturers and Facilitators
Many of our lecturers are drawn from senior positions in government and industry, relating real life experience with applicable management/leadership theory. For industry cohorts we also encourage guest speaker spots, where senior members of the participating organisations present on key issues or process, which in turn can form the basis of further debate and discussion amongst course participants.
The University of South Australia offers a
comprehensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate business and
management programs, making it a leader in management education in Australia
and the Asia-Pacific region
