MEng Topics on Management Studies

As part of an exercise to learn about group work, the MEng students in their fourth and/or fifth year of study are given limited resources (including very limited time) to produce a web-based resource on a specified topic. Little or no instruction had been given to the students on these topics. Their only resource material was a few Web links; their deliverables were a set of Web pages and a one-hour seminar/lecture.

The following are the Web pages which they produced:

LEARNING ORGANIZATIONS
