The new programmes operate as pathways offering six distinctive perspectives on business: analytics, management, history, philosophy, entrepreneurship, innovation. Delivering the new modules involves collaboration across a number of Faculties as part of a wider strategy to embed the Business School more strongly in the intellectual life of the university. The focus during the co-creation stage of the project is on four new modules:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.ac.uk\/modules\/mang1020-ideas-shaped-business-world-1-government-and-society\">Ideas that Shaped the Business World 1: Government and Society<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.ac.uk\/modules\/mang1018-technologies-shaped-business-world-1-mechanical-age\">Technologies that Shaped the Business World 1: Mechanical Age<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.ac.uk\/modules\/mang1021-ideas-shaped-business-world-2-markets-and-consumers\">Ideas that Shaped the Business World 2: Markets and Consumers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.ac.uk\/modules\/mang1022-technologies-shaped-business-world-2-digital-age\">Technologies that Shaped the Business World 2: Digital Age<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lisa and Mark are incorporating lessons learned about the role of technology in education from the successful\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.southampton.ac.uk\/courses\/free-online-learning.page\">MOOCs<\/a> that the University now offers, in order to make sure that students arriving at University \u201chit the ground running\u201d and get the most out of their time with us.
