2 MBA PROGRAM 2010

THE ADELAIDE
MBA PROGRAM

Why should you do an MBA at Adelaide?

The MBA provides a broadly based education for students as managers,
rather than just the acquisition of an off-the-shelf set of skills. The aim is to
develop problem solving and communication skills, leadership and team
building skills, and analytical and critical abilities that will enable you to
understand better and deal with the complex issues of management in a
rapidly changing business environment.

The MBA program emphasises the development of abilities to:

• Master leadership skills.

• Understand the functional interrelationships between different areas of

an organisation and the broader interaction of the organisation with
its environment

• Recognise and act effectively on problems and opportunities confronting

an organisation

• Coordinate and apply an organisation’s financial, physical, technological

and human resources in pursuit of important objectives

• Understand and communicate effectively with people inside and outside

an organisation

• Evaluate current management policies and practices to develop new

ways to improve organisational effectiveness.

Students in the program come from a wide variety of disciplines,

professional backgrounds and cultures, many with high standing from
undergraduate areas. The School seeks to provide them with a solid
grounding in academic disciplines relevant to management. Students will
acquire the conceptual and analytical abilities they need to make and carry
out decisions at a senior managerial level.

While the 12 course MBA program suits the needs of many, some students
seek a deeper level of knowledge. The MBA (Advanced) program provides
opportunities for these students, including:

• Those seeking a wider range of knowledge, which is needed for the

highest levels of organisational leadership.

• Those seeking to specialise in one particular area, by undertaking

four electives.

• Those seeking to undertake further study as part of a life long learning

process, and wishing to gain accreditation for this.

• It is possible for students enrolled in the 12 course MBA to progress into

the 16 course MBA (Advanced), as both programs have a common core.

 HOW DOES THE
ADELAIDE MBA WORK?

Flexibility Fast-track Study load

The diagram below provides an explanation of
the four programs and the articulation between
them. There are four entry and four exit points.
Study completed in one program can be
counted towards the next level program.
For example, you may enrol in the Graduate
Certificate in Management and proceed
through to the Graduate Diploma, MBA or
MBA (Adv) with credit for courses completed.
Conversely, provided you meet the entry
requirements, you may choose to enrol in the
highest qualification, the MBA (Adv) and then
exit with a lesser qualification such as the
Graduate Diploma of Business Administration.
You decide how many courses you enrol in
each trimester and, provided you complete
your selected program within the maximum
completion time, you may suspend your
studies for a trimester to cope with work or
other commitments.
Each course (subject) is delivered over a
twelve week trimester. There are 3 trimesters
in a year. This allows you to condense your
studies into a shorter period of time. For
example, undertaking the MBA in a full-time
mode would require only one year to complete.
To view the current timetable, visit:
www.business.adelaide.edu.au
Study modes and time commitment
All programs can be studied part-time or full-
time. Program structures are fl exible and allow
students to choose a study pattern that suits
the competing demands of work, family and
other commitments.
A part-time study load is typically one or two
courses each trimester and a full-time load
is three or four courses each trimester. It is
recommended that parttime students enrol in
one course in their first trimester of study in
order to determine the workload.
The total contact time for most courses is 36
hours (3 hours per week), excluding the open
book examination. In addition, students will
be required to spend extra time on private
study and group work. It is estimated that
most students will spend 8 hours per week per
course in reading, assignments, preparation
and/or group work.

certain discipline area. Options include: people
management, strategy, marketing, international
business, technology/project management
and entrepreneurship.
Alumni Support
The MBA Alumni Association (MBAAA) is
an important part of the life and community
of the School, as it forms an integral part of
the School’s business relationships. MBA
students may apply to become members of
the MBAAA (free of charge) from the time they
enrol, enabling them to immediately benefit
from graduate experience and connections.

 MBA CORE
COURSES
FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP
Fundamentals of Leadership is
the first course for all programs.
Upon completion, students will
possess an understanding of the
development of management
thought and practice, providing
a background against which
new trends in management can
be viewed. They will be able to
identify and discuss the major
challenges facing management
in today’s environment and
develop the understanding and
communication skills required to
effectively lead and manage a
diverse workforce.
ACCOUNTING FOR MANAGERS
Participants in this course will
develop the essential ability of
all managers, to use complex
accounting information as a
platform for decision-making.
The course develops skills in
interpreting earnings statements,
balance sheets and cash flow
reports. In the second phase of
the course students will take away
highly relevant skills in areas such
as budgeting, product and service
costing and short-run decision-
making.
MARKETING MANAGEMENT
Marketing lies at the core of all
business. Whatever the character
or size of your entity, its profit can
come from only one place: the
marketplace. All businesses are
dependent on the income they
earn from their customers, clients
or buyers. In most businesses
it is Marketing Managers who
are primarily responsible for
keeping their company close
8 MBA PROGRAM 2010
to its customers. All those who
have a direct responsibility
for identifying, reaching and
satisfying customers are engaged
in marketing and everybody in a
business needs to understand its
marketplace activities. This course
offers a complete introduction to
professional marketing thought
and action.
ECONOMICS FOR MANAGEMENT
This course provides an
introduction to economic thinking
and its relevance and application
to managing organisations. The
first part of the course deals
with the structure of markets,
including perfect competition,
monopoly and oligopoly, and
the competitive regulatory
environment. The second part
deals with the determinants of
the aggregate level of output and
employment, and elements in the
determination of macroeconomic
policy including interest rates,
inflation and foreign trade and
capital fl ows. The focus of the
course is on current issues and
their implications for managers
and competitive organisations.
MANAGING CONTEMPORARY
ORGANISATIONS
This course exposes students
to some key influences and
perspectives on the management
of organisations. Its focus is
primarily on human issues that
affect and are dealt with by
managers day-to-day. The course
is an extension of “Fundamentals
of Leadership” and provides
the background and theoretical
framework for more advanced
studies in business management.
The course begins by examining
the nature of ‘organisation’ as
an ‘open system’. Then the
management challenge in relation
to various facets of organisation
is reviewed – learning, motivation,
politics, performance, ethics,
culture, innovation, decision-
making, structure and change.
MANAGERIAL FINANCE
Initially this course will cover
the concepts of valuation in
finance and show how they
can be applied to valuing
corporate securities. Adopting a
value creation perspective, the
course will then consider capital
expenditure decision approaches
and their application to a range of
situations, as well as evaluation
of the results. Then, risk is
considered, with a risk-return
model developed that can be
applied in managing for value
creation. The course examines the
concept of the weighted average
cost of capital, before turning to
consider corporate financing and
capital structure decisions.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT
This course presents a unified
way of thinking about the
issues of strategic thinking and
the management of change.
Strategic thinking involves
searching for a favourable and
sustainable competitive position
in an attractive industry; while
the management of change,
from a strategic perspective, is
concerned with innovation and the
transformation of resources and
skills into strategic capabilities
that provide the bases for
sustainable advantages. Strategic
Management is important
because it can help focus the
firm in terms of the customer. It
identifies a direction for the firm
and enables a clear articulation of
the path chosen.
GLOBAL BUSINESS
Global business examines those
business activities which involve
trade or investment across national
boundaries. These activities
typically relate directly to the
movement of exports or imports
plus support activities such as
transport, credit, marketing,
payment, legal and insurance
services. They may also include
activities relating to the intangible
assets of the firm, such as
trademarks, patents, and the
licensing of brand names or
product and manufacturing
technology. Dealing with these
matters requires a working
knowledge of the world’s
international trade and monetary
systems. The scope of the global
business course is broad and
it necessarily embraces a host
of cross border issues related
to environment in which every
international business operates.
MBA (ADVANCED)
ADDITIONAL CORE COURSES
In addition to completing the required
MBA core courses, the following are the
required courses for students under-
taking the MBA (Advanced) program.
BUSINESS PROJECT OR
MANAGEMENT PROJECT
Business Project
This course draws on the work
undertaken in the core MBA courses.
Projects may be undertaken by an
individual student or by a team of
3-5 students who take on the role of
consultant(s) to an organisation and
analyse a real business problem or
issue and produce recommendations.
Projects may be sourced by students or
the School. Each project will be allocated
an academic project supervisor.
Much of the time for this course will
be in practical fieldwork or desk
research. The project will conclude
with a presentation by the student or
student group, to members of the client
organisation and the Business School
at which time a final written report will be
given to the organisation.
Management Project
This project provides an opportunity
for an individual student or a team
of students to complete an applied
research project based on a business
problem or issue. Students may choose
either a case study project which
analyses a real-world management
problem or a project which undertakes
the investigation of a particular
problem or issue and makes relevant
recommendations. A program of
activities will be completed and lead to
a case or project report.
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Operations is the term used in
management to refer collectively to
the many processes through which an
organisation’s strategies for competing
in the marketplace are put into action.
Obviously, in any organisation’s
operations there are many kinds of
processes that must be managed –
inbound logistics, production, outbound
logistics, and customer support in
many forms, to name only a few. In
this course, we will first develop an
overview of the range of processes
that can make up the operations of
an organisation. We then focus on
some key issues in managing certain
fundamental processes that are critically
important to the strategies of many
organisations today.
BUSINESS LAW
This course will introduce managers to
a range of legal issues that impact on
their business and on their duties and
responsibilities as managers. There is
an increasing trend in the law to make
managers personally liable for breaches
of the law by their business. The course
will help managers to identify areas
of legal liability and risk and suggest
how to minimise legal risk. The topics
covered in the course include an
introduction to the Australian legal
system, the law of business structures,
contract law, intellectual property law,
employment law, law of business torts,
consumer protection law, competition
law and electronic commerce law.
ELECTIVES
The School offers a range of electives each
year. Students may choose all their electives
from a particular discipline, or select electives
from a range of disciplines. Elective offerings
vary depending on enrolment, demand and
visiting professors.

achievement, it is very difficult to obtain one. There is no
separate application process for scholarships, and all
program applications are assessed at the same time for
their eligibility for scholarship support.
For more information, visit:
www.adelaide.edu.au/scholarships
