Overview

The Creating and sustaining value modules from The Open University UK provides the latest theories of value creation, allowing you to practically engage with them across several business functions and a range of organisations. By examining the operations and finance functions, you'll uncover the link between decision making and performance.

Key facts

• Business intelligence is used to demonstrate how managers can enhance a firm's value using data and analytics. 
• The module also considers not just economic value creation, but also the creation and destruction of social and environmental value.
• The use of a simulation game-based learning approach provides a compelling framework to consolidate, reflect, and expand on the knowledge you'll acquire. Overall, this module offers an interdisciplinary lens to investigate how organisations can create and sustain value in an increasingly complex and dynamic business environment, driven by economic, environmental and social concerns.

Vocational relevance

• The module is designed for professionals from a wide range of contexts and backgrounds who need to actively engage with the challenges of contemporary management, to develop their management skills and knowledge of management frameworks, theories and tools and to use these appropriately in order to make a real difference in their own practice.
