It aims to synthesise analysis of the topical disciplinary and management concerns in the fields; to encourage experienced students to reflect on the worth and career relevance of key concepts and assumptions covered by them in the MIMS degree; to identify and review professional attitudes, commitments, and the nature of work groups; and to test the applied power of the combined role of the source disciplines.
