• Develop a business plan for a small business, which is suitable for external stakeholders, and which addresses management of finances, HR, marketing, technology; relationships with stakeholders, sources of information and support.
• Operate and manage a small business to improve business performance and meet stakeholder requirements.
• Apply professional and ethical practices, and manage your business in a socially and culturally responsible way

Flexible Online Learning with Optional Face-to-Face Support

This programme offers the best of both worlds; the flexibility of online study through Open Polytechnic combined with the benefits of local campus access. You'll study online at your own pace, from anywhere. However, as a WITT learner, you'll also have the option to:

• Utilise local campus facilities, such as the library, computers, and gym.
• Attend optional in-person workshops and support sessions for additional help.

 To ensure a smooth online learning experience, you'll need:

• A laptop or desktop computer (smartphones and tablets aren't suitable for this programme).
• Reliable broadband internet access.
• A data plan that can handle online learning tasks like streaming videos, downloading materials, and submitting assessments.
