Graduate Certificate in Catholic Leadership

Marketing plays an essential part in business leadership. This course exposes students to fundamental marketing concepts used in industry and provides insight into how these concepts relate to the &quot;real&quot; world. This course introduces students to the discipline of marketing through topics such as: consumer behaviour, marketing research, product planning, integrated marketing communications and social media, distribution planning, product &amp; service pricing, and societal and environmental issues.

Marketing

This course examines the complex intersection between behavioural interactions and the challenges that operate within both the local and global organisational contexts. By examining the social, political, and economic discourses that govern human behaviour in the workplace, students learn to explore how power operates within these discourses and complex social systems that shape organisational life. The curriculum combines a focus on variables (e.g., motivation, self-esteem, and personality), as well as the various contextual elements of the individual, the group, the organisational system, and society from an interdisciplinary vantage point. In doing so, students explore how to unpack contexts that influence social relations in the workplace, as well as challenge the prevailing power dynamics. This enables a move towards a greater understanding of transformative practices of leadership.

Organisations: Power, Leadership and Transformation

This course covers a variety of pertinent and evolving workplace issues, which are researched, analysed, developed and workshopped. Workplace culture and structure provides the basis for an examination of emotional intelligence, bullying, casualisation, decruitment, absenteeism, grievances, dismissal, executive remuneration, outsourcing, and bargaining. Students are expected to develop and apply policies and procedures, which rely on individual work experience within the context of the currently operating statutes and other legislation enabling efficient HRM outcomes for the organisation.

Strategic Workplace Issues

This course extends basic change theories and models of organisations by focusing on change management in practice. The dynamics of the change management process is analysed to interrogate how change supports, organisational strategy, goals and future states. Students consider the function of key stakeholders, both internal and external to the organisation, and the role that these stakeholders play in the process of change.

Leading Change

This course introduces students to a range of leadership theories in order to examine the impacts of leadership across organisations within the context of increasing external complexity. Students are encouraged to critically reflect upon leadership practices with a view to developing an awareness of their own leadership capacities.

Leadership: Theory and Practice

This course covers both strategy development and strategic planning for organisations. The Course integrates theories of strategy and decision making with the development of concrete plans for organisations. A key element of the course is the development of a strategic plan for an organisation. Students do an oral and written presentation of the plan.

Strategic Management and Planning
