MBS Open Lecture: E-commerce technological investments and

firm performance examples from UK and Asia

 

This talk showcases a general management topic in strategy. It is a topic suitable for a wider audience who are interested in pursuing an MBA programme (no prior knowledge of strategic management is required).

Strategy has traditionally been a core module for an MBA course, and the resource-based view (RBV) is an important theoretical perspective to strategy. This workshop draws on the RBV perspective to empirically examine the important relationship between SME e-commerce investments and firm performance. We will draw examples from UK and Asia to discuss the relevant theories and practices. No prior knowledge of the subject field is needed, all industry background welcomed.

Study where you live and work, and let us bring Manchester to you!
