Managing High-Growth Businesses

The important contributions that high-growth firms make to the economy through their generation of revenue and jobs have long been recognised. Entrepreneurs often seek growth to maximise their returns, while others embark on a trajectory of ‘accidental growth’ based on high demand for their innovative goods and services. However, high-growth creates considerable challenges for many organisations. It can place them under strain, and can result in firm failure. This unique module examines the theoretical frameworks which explain firm growth and provides practical insight into how the associated challenges can be managed. This module will be of interest to students seeking to develop their own business, or who plan on working in dynamic, high-growth firms.

Managing People and Organisations

This module introduces the key elements of people, groups, and organisations to build a multi-faceted understanding of the interface between organisational behaviour and human resource (HR) practices in organisations today. In particular, this module provides both the breadth and depth for students to appreciate the complexities of managing people and organisations critically.

The content of this module follows three key streams of knowledge: theoretical knowledge of fundamental elements of people and organisations, applied knowledge in current management practices, and key topics surrounding the dynamic environment which people and organisations are operating in today. These key streams of content will be introduced in conjunctions throughout the semester to help students appreciate the modern organisations perceptively. The module calls for students to contextualise the knowledge when applying to scenarios, as a key component of learning is to apply learned concepts appropriately. During the module, you will be required to work as a team to respond to a written case study, in addition to completing an individual summative assessment in the form of a written exam.

Manifesto

This module challenges you to identify and express who you are as an emerging industry practitioner. It continues the process of situating your practice through defining your individual working methods, ethos and practice in clarity and depth. You will align your professional ambition with a personal manifesto which defines your individual graphic communication philosophy. You will critically analyse the role of the practitioner, and highlight your position as an innovative and adaptable interdisciplinary or specialist creative.

This module will also help inform the direction and aid strategic planning for the Final Major Project in semester 2 through the articulating, justification, planning and documenting of ideas and initial research avenues for final project or projects. A negotiated and approved proposal will confirm the project(s) for the Final Major Project module.

Marine Craft Concept Design

Developing the overall design of a marine craft to meet owner’s requirements together with relevant statutory regulations is fundamental to the practice of naval architecture. This module entails the development of a marine craft design to concept stage, taking due account of the owner’s requirements and craft mission to derive craft dimensions and operating characteristics. The design is developed in sufficient detail to allow preliminary weight and cost estimates to be made and checks against statutory regulations for safety and environmental performance to be conducted. Students work as a design team, with each responsible for individual technical and managerial aspects of design, working together to integrate components. Regular ‘design review’ interviews are held throughout the module.

Marine Environmental Law

This module studies the international regulatory framework for the marine environment, its achievements, shortcomings and future challenges. The law of the marine environment has taken shape over several decades, responding to challenges caused by shipping incidents as well as other sources of pollution, and has become a complex framework of international conventions, developed through international consensus, and reinforced through technical developments in the committees of the International Maritime Organisation and other regional organisations. As regulation through conventions is a long and slow process and consensus-dependant, the framework is often insufficient to tackle immediate challenges such as climate change and ocean plastic pollution. In addition, compliance and enforcement are hampered by a variety of factors. We look at the international regulatory framework for shipping and the environment as well as factors preventing enforcement.

Marine Hydrodynamics

This module extends the fundamentals of fluid mechanics in the context of naval architecture and ocean engineering including water waves and the fluid loading and motion of maritime structures and vessels in waves. Students will assess the concepts of added mass, wave forces, ship roll and seakeeping by developing the conceptual, mathematical, and computational techniques needed for their evaluation. There are two assignments which integrate added mass, roll damping and seakeeping response through numerical and experimental applications to a real floating vessel.
