The elective outline provides further information on the electives we have on offer. I am sure you will find the matrix on page 2 useful as this shows which semester the electives run, and in which centres.
A pre-requisite of Advanced Strategic Management (ASM) is that you have taken the Global Strategic Management course. For anyone that did not take this course, you will be unable to take ASM. Please also note that The Reflective Manager has had a recent name change to The Practising Manager (TPM). As you have already taken this as a core, you will be unable to take this as an additional elective.
