About the programme
In contrast to strategy groups in other business schools, Strategic Management and Leadership does not just focus on commercial organisations and the private sector, but also consider strategy in public service organisations – including the public sector and not-for-profit organisations – which better reflects the make-up of our student population and society in general.
Being culturally diverse, The Open University UK has a global perspective on strategy and leadership, and we conduct research in Africa and Asia as well as the UK and Europe.
