Content
Students undertaking a Management major have studied a diverse range of units from those that are very functional in nature, to those that are people focused and those that are outward looking.
The aim of MMM308 is to consolidate all these elements into a cohesive whole that blends key concepts and provides students an opportunity to apply their management skills with a holistic overview of responsible and sustainable management in a diverse, global environment.

Learning resource
The texts and reading list for MMM308 can be found via the University Library.
Note: Select the relevant trimester reading list. Please note that a future teaching period's reading list may not be available until a month prior to the start of that teaching period so you may wish to use the relevant trimester's prior year reading list as a guide only.
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
To fully engage with Deakin's learning experiences, students must be able to access and use internet-connected devices as outlined in computing requirements at Deakin.
To support student success at Deakin, we have a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) learning environment that acknowledges that students and educators bring with them the digital tools they regularly use to complete academic tasks. These tools stay with you beyond the classroom, helping you to keep learning, explore ideas more deeply, and connect with knowledge in ways that matter to you.
