Addresses both intra and inter-organisational performance at multiple levels. Views on organisational performance are changing rapidly, inline with the critical mass of accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The information age brings a whole new set of frameworks that are likely to be key to future organisational success. Examines both âinformation age' models, largely based on organisational networks, which have complexity theory as the underlying paradigm, as well as industrial age models such as the Balanced Scorecard and Hoshin planning. The course is cross-functional; studying material which has been developed from a broad range of disciplines including operations, accounting and human resources.

The course is cross-functional; studying material which has been developed from a broad range of disciplines including operations, accounting and human resources. Business operations are becoming increasingly integrated and multifaceted, demanding novel approaches to managing their complexity. For example, the management of supply chains and of projects is particularly demanding, typically involving interrelated mission-critical activities that organisations must plan and control if they are to maximise their business opportunities and utilise their resources effectively. Develops some of the key concepts of stochastic and dynamic control and shows how they are applied in different circumstances.
