Synopsis

As   students  draw  closer  to  meeting  the  full  requirements  for
graduating from the course, it is absolutely essential that they  have
the   opportunity  to  integrate  and  synthesise  the  knowledge  and
competencies  developed to date in relation to their professional  and
managerial responsibilities.  This unit has two aims: (1) to  identify
and articulate the strategic issues that organisations are faced with;
and (b) to reflect the critical and strategic positions of students in
their  successful progression through the various course units.   This
unit   provides  a framework for analysis and integration by  focusing
attention   on   the   development  of  an  organisation's   strategic
directions, strategic capabilities and internal and external dynamics.
