Description	The module aims to develop students' abilities to understand and solve complex business problems that require the skills of systems thinking, reflective practice and cultivating and maintaining relationships with multiple and diverse stakeholders. The importance of cooperative strategy has been highlighted in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as the means and mechanisms to deliver sustainable development and system change. This module focuses on the economic and social benefits that can be gained through cooperation within and between organisations and how to develop and manage the cooperation so as to realize them. Implementing cooperative strategy in the real world involves the ability to apply systems thinking and to work in cross-organisational, cross-sectoral, and cross-cultural boundaries and teams. The module therefore, in addition to subject knowledge, research and analytical skills, aims to enable you to benefit from peer-to-peer learning, and reflective engagement with your own learning journey.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Critically analyse the nature of complexity and its relationship to local and global ecosystem that company and other organisations operate within Apply systems thinking in complex situations requiring cross-boundary cooperation within and between organisations Lead the implementation of cooperative strategy and execute strategic alliances in the modern business context Reflect on the learning from the module and anticipate and deal with issues arising in establishing and managing cross-border and/or cross-sector alliances
