Business Scale Up

University of Stirling

Overview

MBAs equip managers with a broad and rich understanding of business, enabling them to lead effectively. This online MBA in Business Scale Up at University of Stirling focuses on the key areas a business would need to investigate to assess scale up potential. The course combines core management disciplines from the key QAA and CMI benchmark statements with recent national research on the drivers of business scale up.

The course is structured in four phases. The first phase provides an intensive focused range of interventions aimed at realising the potential of growth within businesses. Stages two and three then draw on these to analyse ideas and develop them further to plan and enable accelerated growth. Finally, after these phases, a strategic project builds the evidence base for scale up strategies and addresses a significant and strategic area for your business.

Enhance your employability

You’ll have the chance to undertake a consultancy project with businesses across the public, private and non-profit sectors. This allows you to integrate the knowledge and skills from your course to solve a real business challenge. Places on these projects are competitive and involve interviews with the host company. At the end of the project you’ll be able to present your recommendations and a high-quality piece of research or consultancy.
